Nah, I'm over large CC bikes now...

I am actually lusting for something smaller, like a 600cc or thereabouts. Street Triple, for example... Or an FZ6/XJ6, MT-07, GSR 600... And older bikes too, like the Yamaha Thundercat 600. (Still like me dem older bikes...)

The Hornet motor is a gem. You may not enjoy a small bike now.

Probably true... I know 600cc or smaller bikes with their lower torque at low- to mid-ranges would be less frightening... I mean, more manageable for newer riders.

That said, my old dear YX600 Radian was a gem with excellent low-to-mid range torque - I still miss that bike. RIP Radian...

What's wrong with the Hornet?

I'm thinking about moving onto one when I move overseas – a 600 though (doubt I'll be able to afford the thirst of a 900/919).

Dibs on the Gixxer when you go.

If the price is right.

The sale of my bike will be going straight to my student loan. Sad I know.

What's wrong with the Hornet?

Sometimes, I feel it's more bike than I need, just sometimes...

If the price is right.

AND if the rider can fit on it...

What's wrong with the Hornet?

Where do I start...

The Hornet 600 I owned was horrible.

No character, incredibly thirsty, crazy vibrations at moderate speed. This was an early model one and had less than 30,000k on the clock. Only good thing about it was that it had pretty good acceleration.

Mentoring Committee, Motorcycle Collective, the list goes on, they don't have to be clubs, clubs have rules.

SASS doesn't have rules that I know of, just a general understanding.

Is this the only comment you are going to make on what I wrote.
Do you have anything constructive to say? Its a pity.

I will defend SASS and what it stands for. I think its great

Yeah I think I will join a motorcycle collective which is not a club.

There are plenty of club members dying on our roads currently. You belong to a club don't you?
I would be scared.

Goodness, That implication is that members of a motorcycle club are more likely to die on the road.

1 To the best of my knowledge I have never joined a motorcycle club, unless KB is a club.

2 I do belong to an Institution and also a couple of groups and no I am not scared. Scared is not a good feeling to have when riding with people or alone.

3. I am particular with whom I ride, have been for years.

I am pleased you still hold SASS in regard, why do you not utilise it anymore? We can never get enough practice with our skills.

Better to have more than you need than not enough.

I should be there tonight guys, although on a different bike.

No Z1000?? D:

No Z1000 today. Have got my mates Gsxr600.

[f2dz]

Blegh. Not another bloody GSXR. Horrible bikes.

The Z1000 was much tastier.

[Kartik]

The Z is definitely tastier, but a bit of variety is great too. Lol. And this is only temporary.

Its all in how you use it
