Restricting A 600 Hornet to 33bhp? Stupid?

[Hello there mandem]

Im thinking of getting a hornet for my 1st big bike, i currently ride a dtre125 but not sure of restricting a 600 hornet

its near 100bhp but restricting it would be loosing like 67 bhp, and this is going to be a huge drain on the proofrmance and might it damage the bike itsself?

anyone done this or is this just a totally stupid idea??

many thanks
jack

Making yourself legal is not a stupid idea

It will not damage the bike in anyway

What the majority of people seem to do is restrict it for a while (6 months say) Then take the restictors out once your used to the power and wanta bit more

No, its incredibly sensible.

Jay12329 had a 33bhp Hornet and he really got on well with it. Its certainly not as sharp or unforgiving as something like a GSXR600, and IMO along with stuff like the SV650 is an ideal first 'big' bike.

Do it!

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

i had my hornet restricted for about a year and it was fine fairly quick up to 10k or so witch was fine for me as i was using it around town mainly!

I've had a restricted 33bhp CB500, CBF600S and a CBR600F - all of these kinds of bikes restrict pretty darn well to be honest. The two 600's pull and easy 90 on the motorway (albeit after like 15 seconds of waiting XD) and at least you'll get a decent fuel economy!

Carole Nash give a hefty discount if you tell them you've got a 33bhp restrictor kit My premium dropped from £700 to £600 when i said "oh, it's restricted"

[Hello there mandem]

i like the 06 black hornets, but need to take my test 1st
