CB900 Hornet

[moko]

Well..... rode one today and was very disappointed, worst points, very clunky gearbox with a vague feel to it, not as much low down as I thought, very harsh engine that vibrated quite badly through the bars at the normal speeds you want to sit at and the seat is downright uncomfortable, so thats that bike out of the equation. Next :-)

I rode a mates new-ish one and was very disappointed,the motor`s not a lot more powerful than my 600 Fazer and felt flat by comparison.Very easy to ride,felt very light and nimble but they`ve taken too much edge off the motor.Here in the U.K you can pick up a 900 for less than a same year 600 because no-one wants them,same mate got his new for £500 less than anyone would sell him a 600 new for.When I rode it I ws thinking what a great commuter it would make,probably not what Honda had in mind,1200 Bandit`s dated but much more bike for your money and it`s fun,not "capable".Come to that a 600 Hornet`s better as well,bigger isn`t always better.

Well.... did it today, bought a brand new CB1300, it just felt right as soon as I hopped on it, now I just gotta run it in :-((

great to hear you've found a comfortable bike and ENJOY
