Urgent help needed with Hornet
Looking at this Hornet and kinda need to decide sharply, can someone tell me if it seems like a good deal. The owner said that he doesn't always use the clutch to change up which concerns me and the front tire will need replacing soon.
Cheers for your help

I cant check it out due to a proximity issue but for what its worth they are a great bike, will be as cheap as a big bike can be typically, a very good all rounder. Ask what the sprocket & chains are like & when last changed. Also check the front disks. Check to see if there is any lip (run your fingers over them). The price isn't a steal by any means. I personally wouldn't pay a cent over $4500 for that bike. The issue being it's not much more to step up to the 919 & it's well worth it. The 900 Hornet is an easy bike to ride & is arguably the best step up to big bike IMHO.

What's a clutch?

Hey thanks guys. That put the clutch stress to the side...
Forgot to mention that it comes with little heated grips and also unused crash bungs. He has offered it for 4900 so I'm thinking I'll try for 4750. Too much still? I think (in my very little knowledge) that it seems more fair.

It's all over. Have bought the bike and today I have to part with my baby, the GN250, will be a sad day.

The honda not the gn...
