CB1000 Hornet

I've just been reading a few reviews.

I bet the SP outsells the council one 10-1, that's if they ever sell any of the council ones as the SP is such a bargain for all the extras it gets.

[Skub]

Sounds like a decent bike.

[Bustaspoke]

A very positive review from Mr Neeves

[Supermofo]

Still looks cheap, mainly cos it is, but sounds like it goes more than well enough and ohlins, QS and fancy brembos has got to be worth the extra. It's not a looker but I reckon once you're on it you probably won't care. Like the original Hornet really.

It's very...nowhere, in terms of style.

[Ditchfinder]

Jeebus - how big is that exhaust?

Yes, compared to Cheesy's version it's very meh.

I just watched the first 9 minutes of that video, bloody hell he's dull.

Maybe he's under the influence of Homda.

It's very good value for money but quite frankly I wouldn't give it a second glance in a bike showroom. It's come to something when 155bhp is completely uninteresting. The only emotion it stirs in me is disinterest.

Stopped in for a look at one on the way home this afternoon.

Firstly - it looks so much better in real life. Even though it's only the cooking model. I was surprised. Doesn't even look or feel cheap. If the press photos and launch videos are putting you off I'd recommend having a look at one before dismissing it. My daughter mentioned the end can - it's massive!

Had a brief sit on it - this seemed to upset the salesman, which I found odd for a main dealer. Liked the position, not too bolt-upright unlike a lot of recent nakeds, nice leg bend too. Didn't feel heavy off the stand.

And lastly - the tail unit has really sharp edges! I grazed my thigh (through jeans!) on my first leg-swing attempt...

That beak looks scarier than the seat

I'd rather spend a grand on the suspension on my £800 quid Fazer thou and trouser the other 8k

Pictures of this are currently going round, not sure if it's real or not, if it is real it's only a concept bike, but if Honda make it and sell it in the UK I'll buy one.

It is just a Hornet in a frock.

[Dodgy69]

7/8k might be a bargain. 10k not for me. Think we've all got used to over inflated prices.

[Mr. Dazzle]

How much was the SP1 in the background?

[kendo57]

I believe a Yamaha Thunderace was 9k in 1996

The Honda CBR900RR FireBlade was launched in the UK in the spring of 1992 costing just £7390

The OTR price of the current model Fireblade is £23,499.

Makes the Hornetto look like a bargain,
