    New Hornet 600

    mmmMMMMMmmmmm somebody at Honda has had their thinking cap on.

    http://www.motorcycledaily.com/10oct...ondahornet.htm

    Aluminium frame, 2007 CBR600 engine, stubby (almost R6) exhaust and the styling department actually got out of bed for a change. That sound you hear is thousands of people not buying GSR's.

    There will be however, be some detractors along soon, but for me....

    Styling is too close to a combination of Moto Guzzi Breva, Kawasaki ER6F, and Honda's new CBF models to be called attractive.

    However with that engine, and hopefully the supension actually works, they may be on to something. GSR still looks nicer IMO.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Definitely nicer looking than the GSR and FZ6 but that gold paint,...dunno..
    Why not Honda Red or Blue like the VTR colours.

    Anyway, looks great, they should sell a lot.

    under seat exhausts are sooo last year

    the stub looks a bit FZ1
    and I don't really get the new trend towards these Y shaped head lights
    Thank the gods they have replaced the indicators


    I'd buy it

    Nup.
    Or were you offering to give it to me?
    I thought (at first) that it looked nice, then as I looked at the other foterz, I changed my mind.
    I'll stick with the VFR, thanx.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    It looks a lot like the ER6 and the GSR for me. Part of the reason I like the older CBs is that you can do heaps to modify them, these all look like they are put together in a way that if you modified anything to personalise it, you would start really making it look a bit strange (some may know what I'm talking about). Not bad, but I prefer mine.

    Not bad. Looks a bit cute just like the GSR600, headlight treatment not that great...but what do I know. Good to see Honda spending some money on one of their best value bikes.

    I'd be happy to have one parked in my garage ( next to my GB400 of course )
