Well, I sold my CB1300 in November and have been battling with my senses over what to replace it with for quite a while now. Thankfully I've been on holidays and working night shifts in between so it hasn't felt as long as it actually has been. I did like riding my CB1300, but felt it was just too heavy for me. After looking at lots of bike, Yamaha's, Suzuki's, you name it, I was searching through newly listed eBay items as I do on a daily basis and this Honda came up on my screen at the top of the list - literally just minutes from being listed! On the blower I got and arranged to go and view it within the hour.

Needless to say, it appears the I have a soft spot for these light naked Honda's and I rode it home!

It is one of the last of the old shape Hornets on a 57 plate and is in pretty much excellent condition. Very Happy

Likewise, I prefer the "classic" round headlamp.

I actually prefer the ergonomics of this older shape to the newer 08-13 model. It might actually all be in my head but the newer shape felt a bit "small" to me?!

Honda have now ended an era and completely discontinued the "Hornet" range and replaced it with a "CB650" which strangely enough has less power but puts the bike up a tax bracket!?

It's the later ones with USD forks that have these little screens. Also, if it has this headlight/screen combination it has the digital speedo also Smile
