New to the forum and have a new bike.

[Scarb198931]

I'm new this forum and just thought I would say hi. I have been given a honda hornet 600 1999. It has 13,000 miles on the clock, it was used as a track bike but I have took my time to put it back on the road changing sprockets from a 47t to 43t and just basic maintenance to get it back on the road. Will this bike be a suitable 1st bike for a beginner rider? I have ridden plenty of 125cc but started to find it boring and pretty bland. I do alot of long rides and literally travel as much as I can on a bike because well let's face it, cars are practical just no where near as fun. [/u]

The Hornet is an excellent first bike - you'll be fine.

Grab some pics then

For some reason it's not allowing me to upload any pics

I think you might need more positive "karma" and/or a higher post count before you can link to images. It's a right f*cking PITA but it's meant to protect against sock accounts posting images that knacker up the ad revenue or some such blarney.

Perfectly excellent first bike. The only downside I seem to remember is that they haven't got the largest tank and range is a bit restricted. That's nothing more than a small annoyance though.
