About 3 months too late, but thoughts on new shape Hornet.

[JonB]

Evening.

My Dad has a 57 plate Hornet, the new shaped one, can't find a photo right now, but you can google it if you like.

Anyway, just a quick jotting down of thoughts on new Hornet compared to the old one.

My Dad had an older style hornet a couple of years ago which I was able to ride and the memory I had of it was that is handled poorly compared to my Bandit. It was 2001 Y plate.

Anyway move on a few years and I had a go on the new one.

The looks get slated a lot and yeah they may not be to everybodies tastes, but I think it has some nice lines.

It was still being run in, however my general impressions were that it handled absolutely superbly. The best bike I had ridden so far in my short experience.

I'll continue later as I have to dash.
