Is this the greatest gravel muncher?

It'd be good for seated gravel munching.
Or making the people following munch gravel
A bit like an IL4 Terra Mostero.
Needs some sort of front guard though.

is it a CBR600 in a modified nx frame, what ever it is it looks like it will eat anything you can throw at it.

Hornet 900, with Honda Africa twin Forks/ wheels etc

can you imagine how it would howl as you caned the snot out of it exiting loose gravel corners.... fishtailing all over the place.....

might sound as good as this

Marks, that thing is awesome, leaving that corner pretty wide though!

Nothing sounds as good as a CBX cept a CBX. The hornet dirt bike would defiantly sound interesting though. Needs some protection for the headers.

Pretty cool, but like the Terra Mostro the seat/tank shape is a bit wrong for gravel, it would be hard to shift your weight forward for the turns.

Apparantly it does gravel OK.

That looks awesome... Wouldn't mind having a go on it! Slip sliding in gravel was always a favourite amusement of mine...

[ZeroIndex]

I used to have loads of fun on my FZR400 streetfighter on the gravel section between Raglan and Kawhia... always wondered what it would've been like with knobblies on it... looks awesome

That was a laugh, I have to say. Poor GiJoe1313 on his screaming IL4 250 Hornet got a bit left behind

Would the engine work for it with the 900 Hornet? I know it's an engine tuned to be nice and torquey, but surely the power delivery of a single is infinitely preferable?

I guess at the end of the day, it's all dependent on your riding style, and motorcycle experience... if you've always ridden a single, you'll be more happy on a single, if you've always ridden a inline4, you'll probably be more comfortable with that. I'm not gonna argue that inline4's are better than singles or even v-twins on dirt... they make motards and dirtbikes mostly as singles, and occasionally v-twins. Although one would ponder (please answer if you know the true actual reason) that they use air-cooled singles just because dirt/gravel isn't exactly friendly on a bike?
