It is a very nice colour in the flesh, indeed!
In your profile, what is the screen you have on your hornet? I quite like the look of that one.

Here are some pics from the previous owner, I'll be sure to get some great pics of it when it arrives at my house. The stats on it are as follows;

-Only 5,100km on the clock!
-Scorpion exhausts with baffle (keeping it in, love the understated sound it gives, nice and quiet).
-"Rider" seat (AMAZING feel, second Rider seat I've had my arse on and still in a league of it's own, and saves me taking a trip to Tauranga!)
-Basically as-new as it can get, I cannot fault the bike's finish at all! The owner was ex-harley rider and is going back to them, he was very particular about the chrome shiney bits on the hornet hehe.

i dont know whether to drool

or cry

or stab you and steal the keys

Very nice indeed

The screen on my lil ol hornet is just a Givi screen, t'was on there when i bought it. Makes a significant difference on the open rd for such a little screen. Tuck down just a touch and the wind swoops over the top of the helmet, sit up tall and you really feel the difference. Takes a bit of adjustment to get them right, but once they are, they're great

It depends on the seat but it's usually around $450 - $500 (pillion seat included), money WELL spent for anyone on a bike for any amount of time.. you really have to sit on one to experience it. You can take your seat to them and they will get it right just for your arse and even fine tune it before finishing it off, my old one had the CBR1100XX logo embroided on it and looked bloody great too.

PM Cajun for info mate, he works there and will set you straight re. price etc.

His little laser doing the pointy-pointy thing...

Ahh. Entertainment is where you find it.

What the heck did they teach you in the Island of Southness?
In this island we ride on the left...

I was wondering if someone was going to see if the left was the right or the right was the left!

I'm just glad I didn't end up a hood ornament or picking myself and my lil'ol'hornet up off the road!

Well it has been a long time in the making, another convert to the swarm is born. I think it was the appearance of a predator in his driveway that started the culminating process

Hey where are the piccies?
