Wink

There are other likeminded individuals.

And what's exactly 'childish' about me thinking it's shit? Was it the way I worded it?

I believe, the bike in question, looks... like a turd!

Tha better? Wink Laughing

But it does look crap. You're about 2 weeks late with the link, but the general consensus is that it looks crap. I think it looks like the mongrel offspring of an ER6-N and a Buell.

i apologise for the late post, didn't know Embarassed

but i have never been one to always agree with the masses just on how something looks, that's poser logic,

when i say it looks good i refer to the specs verses previous hornets, i.e tank size, engine, brakes etc

So it doesn't look good, it is good. I think you'd find most people agreeing with you there. The only discernable weakness with older ones was the tank range, and with a 19 litre tank that's pretty much eliminated.

I quite like it, might have to have a look round for a test ride when they make it to the local Dealers.

I think it's pretty cool looking. I'd certainly take a free trade up Wink

But under no circumstances would I have a feckin gold one. Bad choice of colour to advertise with IMO.

If we all liked the same thing then life would be pretty boring dont ya think. Shouldnt critisise those that like different things to yourself. Each to their own eh Thumbs Up
If someone offered me the new hornet to take away I would be thrilled, although given the choice I would not go with the gold colour, not a good colour imo.

Does anyone actually know what the strange box is under the engine? I think I heard someone say it was for emissions Confused If it weren't for that I'd say it looks great. I hate how they're trying to say that they meant to sweep the downpipes, but they couldn't really do anything else with that thing there!

headlights should be round (says me)

Love it Thumbs Up But I don't think those types of pictures do bikes justice, you need to see them in the flesh to really appreciate them.

I should know this, (Working for Honda and all) but i believe its either:

A) Some kind of catalytic converter for emissions,
or
B) Its just where they thougth the exhaust would look best Thumbs Up

Someone mentioned the down pipes, seen it before (wasnt there then).My old man saw one in the flesh, and said it was the most horrid looking bike at the time.

Which isnt as bad as 07's hornit, but its getting there!

I really like it, all of it, even the gold paint. I'd have one.
