The Beeza is cheaper and more fasterer

That'll get you in the Ton up gang. ✔

I went to have another look at the (as was) new MT09sp today and on the way called in to Bill Smith in Chester - this Hornet is sort of maybe perhaps a possible, so I wanted a better look.

Didn't have a go on it but it does still look great, especially for the money. Sadly it seems plenty of other people think so too. All stock sold out already & the earliest they would be able to get me one is August. September for the SP.

Shout out to the staff at BS, incidentally, they were excellent.

Motobob showed some images of the CB900F styled retro version the other day,it looked decent.

I saw. This popped up a couple of days ago. Looks great, but not really for me - nostalgia's not what it used to be, and all that.

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.

According to VD it's going to be made,so keep your pennies handy.

Doble have done a special edition Hornet with 5Four (IIRC 5Four did a special version of the CB1100R as an official Honda UK model).

I saw a vid on Friendface and didn't recognise it as a Hornet!

Looks alright.

That's very nice indeed.

Very tasty, but that 'screen' is the most useless appendage I have ever seen. Makre it bigger or delete it.

I don't think it's really a screen, more of a trim piece to make the transition between the headlamp and the clocks less severe.

They've been looking at Kawasaki's homework of 6 years ago...

I liked what they did with the CB1100RS a few years back.

I remember seeing it at the NEC a good looking bike, that was nicely done.
