Atlast, I manage to get off a 125 and on to a Hornet, can't wait for the summer. Every day I look forward to riding in to work and back home again, shame about the naff weather though.

Anyone want to buy/ know anyone that wants to buy XR125 12,000 miles good condition. I can email you full spec and colours if you want.

You know I can actually see me buying a hornet instead of a bandit or sv. Embarassed

Bike looks great by the way, very clean. Whats the mileage and what did it cost?

A Hornet passed me at lunchtime today Greg with a race can on it, sounded lovely....
Stuff the Bandit, Hornets are much better looking!

When I got it, it had 6400 miles late 2001 reg.
I got it for £2350 in the end, got him down form £2650.

I thought about the SV but have always wanted the Hornet, and didn't wanna get the SV thinking "wonder what the Hornet would be like"

What do you ride??

I've been getting about 115 before hitting reserve, I get a bit throttle happy and like the acceleration which I suppose guzzles the petrol up.
I don't know what's best between all the bikes, but I know the hornet is a great bike.

At first it was very shocking, couldn't handle the tiny movement of the wrist whilst in 1st gear, felt like I was kangerooing. I took a pillion passenger on the back after not riding it very long and since them the first gear is no problem. It's nice and light too, although not as light as the XR which I forget when I try to weave the stationary traffic.
Definitly not restricted, I have a race can on it too, but getting a new one as it's corroding.
