Ta, Ive tidyd up the back end, (given every thing possible the grinder treatment), and Ive got a pair of Scorpions on the way for it. Bar ends fitted as well, as soon as the cans are on Ill get up a new photo.

[m0l0t0v]

A pair? [jealous]God damnit! I want a pair of exhausts [/jealous]

One each side and not stacked right?

You also need a belly pan and a hugger. Was going to say tail tidy but since you've said you've tidied it up...

Nice colour btw. Not biased at all! Blue is the fastest colour.

Ye one each side, should be on by now if it wasnt for the post strike, aarrrggghhh!!!! It has a rear hugger allready, just a short one. Ive just taken off the rear passenger handle and replaced with stainless caps that I ordered from America, looks sweet as, shows off the pointy tail really well, and gives it a sportier look.

Just need to get a belly pan, appearance wise then, and Im pretty much done, unless I pick up new head lights at the bike show?!

Once the cans are on, Itll be going to get it checked on a dyno, and if need be get a Power commander fitted.

Ill get a update photo up tommorow.

Here it is now with with the standard twins cans and back end cut down as much as poss, including the number plate.

[m0l0t0v]

Standard cans? Thought you were getting Scorpions?

And I see what you mean with the handle at the back... I want to take mine off. Pillions never use it anyways so it just adds weight and makes me less aerodynamic

These ones are pretty quiet, I got the scorpion pair on ebay for £180, new theyre about 400 quid. Ill be selling these as soon as the new ones turn up. Thanks!

[m0l0t0v]

Ebay... I remember seeing an old pair of cans for the Hornet 600 age ago and they sold for 180. Wish I could've bought them then...

Yeah I would've thought so. Can't wait till the scorpions are on though

Just save up for a 900 instead, then youll reap the extra benefit of a loads more power and massive wheelie power!

[Type_Mo]

but the 6 has a better chassis

And the 900 is more expensive in insurance and most probably petrol.

Pah who needs extended swing arms when you want power wheelies in 5th gear

I thought the 900 had the same chassis?

Insurance defo more expensive, not sure about fuel, Its defo got a bigger tank range than the 600. But having had a couple of 600's, and a big Vtwin, id say its the best bike Ive owned by a long way. Never had a 600 hornet by rode mates and theyre sweet as , Ill agree, I just wanted a bigger bike.

Review from MCN.


The Honda CB900F Hornet 's CBR900RR FireBlade 918cc inspired mill has all the right moves; smooth torquey power, sweet-shifting gearbox and a healthy 110bhp kick in the pants. It's the best thing about the Honda CB900F Hornet by far and Honda pulled off a neat trick by squeezing it inside a 600 chassis.

[Type_Mo]

mcn is a load of tosh mate. 600 and the 900 have different chassis

Here it is with the twin scorpions. Sounds sweet! Havnt given it a log run yet, but seems to pull for longer in every gear, 130 not a prob, ( on a private road of course).
