Hornets are good solid bikes. Don't be scared by the kms. It's more how its been ridden and how well it's been mainained. Long distance out of town kms would be better then short around town riding. If it has maintenance records then it gives you better idea as to what the owner was like. Either way, good luck and I hope you find the right bike for you. I certainly enjoyed my Zed, and sometimes miss it and the relaxed riding position compared to the Daytona.Originally Posted by Metalor

Good cheap bike there and as mentioned those km's aren't "high". Those motors if served well can last huge kms.
I'd ask for a fresh WOF for peace of mind too btw

53000kms isn't much for a 900 hornet, Warr has one with well over 200000kms on it.

Cheers guys!
Went and had a look tonight, was in very nice condition. Rego is out though, which is the only thing stopping me form buying it right away.
There's a nice blue hornet with 27k on the clock that I'm interested in, BUT it's in Taranaki and the owner is in aussie

Does it have Rego?

As long as it hasn't had the rego done in over a year (and therefore be deregistered) you only have to pay for what you put on it so take whatever the cost of the amount of rego you would expect it to have off your offer and explain that to themCheers guys!

Lot of bike for the money.

if you are on a budget, there are a lot of 'older' models out there that are fantastic machines for reliability, longevity and with the extra could be 'modified' to suit personal taste, examples, CB1000F, RF900, FJ1200, XJR12/1300, CB1300, ZXR11/1200.. any of those can be found with low K's and will last for eon's if serviced regularly.

Hey guys, thanks for all your advice! I orignially wanted a hornet 900, cos i love hornets, then I thought I might like some more bikes, but now I've settled on a hornet and I am over the moon with it!
F-ing gorgeous bike, smooth power delivery and plenty of it. Handles superb and is comfortable to ride.
AND the Mrs approves (like she had much asy in the matter :P)
Once again, thank you for all the help, see you on the road!
