My 99 Honda CB600 Hornet

[flood]

Not sure if this is the right topic to put this is as I couldn't see one for other vehicles. So feel free to move if need be.

This is my baby. Got her just under 2 year ago. Spent €1200 to buy it and have pumped about €2500 into her so far.

It's better to start at the last photo and work your way to the first one and you'll see the progress I've made. Photos where taken with a Canon DSLR EOS 550d and an iPhone 4s.

Ok. Link above doesn't work as the hornet is spaced and it doesn't recognise it as a link. Try this one.

Lovely looking bike,had a 99 Hornet as my first big bike when they first came out

Looks like you still got the 16" front wheel,you not thought about changing it for a CBR600F 17" wheel?

I did and it made a huge change to the handling,nowhere near as twitchy when leant right over and a lot better choice for tyres.

She my first ever bike aswel lol. Never even on a moped before this. Passed my bike test first time. Only did it a month ago. Driving instructor was shocked that I never has a lesson or on a bike before that one. Did a three hour Pre test and was amazed at my control. So I must be an alright rider lol.

As for the 17s. Was thinking about it but kinda like the way the bike looks a little lower on the front end and if I go to the 17s I'm afraid it'll raise the front. Besides. The spray job on the wheels cost me a fortune as special paint had to be made in Czech or Poland. I've Matte white wrap with carbon fibre and the guy who did my wheels has it matching the exact white. Cost me a bomb to do.

Nice Bike and good piccies - had CB 500 with ABS for a while - Honda quality is normally really good

Currently have Suzuki 650 Gladius - love V-twins and to be honest good size and weight for me.

Enjoy - roll on the summer. :sun:
