Congrats!

Nice bike, that's the best model year, and the most striking colour too.

How much did you pay (if you don't mind me asking)?

I've never ridden a hornet but I think they're a good looking bike, is a k 5 around a 2005 model?

I would think that's a good price for a clean 2005 hornet with that mileage .
Hope you enjoy her

Nice bike, I like it.
Well done on passing but why ditch the van???
Vans are the only acceptable way for a biker to travel on 4 wheels
Take it easy as the weather changes dude.

I looked for one of these (05-06 Hornet) for a while but couldn't find any under 2.5k, that hadn't been crashed or were being sold by the guys wife

Braided brake hoses

^ what he said.

They'll improve your brake performance by resticting expansion to the OEM hoses, thus maor piston power!

That and it'll smarten up the bike a lot.

nice one cheers i will look into it

[Uncle fester]

I'm not sure about orange ones,I think it will look a bit tacky.
Maybe alli or black?
I'm not sure what the brakes are like on a hornet but braided hoses are a usually a good upgrade.
