    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    So what else have you test riden??

    And how the hell are you gonna fit into leathers that are Devil's size??

    There's 90kg of Devil that fits in those leathers with room to spare.

    Gareth's not allowed a hornet because I'd punch him in the cunt if he got one.
    Mine!!!

    A little heavier and little taller, the suit is XL.

    Plans are in the works for a Hornet with extras, but bought a house recently so got a few things to deal with first...

    Hornet?? I thought you wanted a CBR600F - aff-man has one for sale for 5,500 at this moment.

    HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on the house.

    Was looking at an '00 or '01 CBR600F would probably still consider one, but the lure of a brand new Hornet is pretty strong.

    i tried them on already and went for a short ride. Just so long as im not trying to be head down bum up they work just fine for me, just need the back of the knees cut out and redone with softer material.

    what you mean what else have i test riden?

    You should find them more comfortable with a bike like the bandit, better legroom. Thats why I dont think i'll mod my leathers because the hornet has tons of space.

    Oh and bandits, holeshot offered me the naked 1200 for $9995 (brand spankers) heh.
    I thought about the 650 (would still like to see one, who's got one?) but I'd be carting the missus around a bit so the extra torque of the hornet would be of great benefit. Otherwise, yeah.

    HEY SARGE!!! UNTIL THE K6's ARRIVE THAT ONE IS MINE!!!

    ermm i was in holeshots looking for one originally, they have the GSF600k4, not quite as nice but its at $8995, the same year's 1200 is $9995.

    from memory Colemans had a GSF600S(k4) and the 1200 was again $1000 more. I think with the k5 models i was a tad over $1000 more for the 1200.

    I think that the 650 was a good bit of torque, i'd like to see the figures up against the Hornet 900... but personally the GSF650 takes the cake on looks and wont be overly out performed by the hornet900 except in the $$$ for CC field.

    I've been trying to find the hp/torque figures for the bandit, but haven't been successful so far.
    But for the hornet (Honda's claims): 110hp, 93nm, 193kg dry.
