My first big bike

[2Hondas]

Hi,

Picked up my new bike yesterday. Had to ride it home 60 miles but am loving it. I still can't get over how fast it accelerates once you get to 8000rpm!

It's got a load of random stickers on it that i'm starting to get rid of (knuckledusters etc).

Hey man, nice Hornet,

Yellow ones are the fastest , Mine is now black but the power of yellow is still strong within...

make sure you check the coolant/oil and you will be good

Cheers guys, couldn't ride it today as i had to take a load of stuff to work (boo!), made me sad

Only thing thats concerning me at the moment is when I go over a bump in the road, something is clanking. I'm pretty certain that it's the side-stand as the spring on it is a bit wussy.
Anyone know the part-number or where i can get one, and is it supposed to have the rubber tubing around it? I'll have a poke-around on the owners manual page...

Seriously, Yellow ARE the fastest, Blue Hornets are for riders confused with their sexuality...

Alex hornet and the dons hornets are the only two I have looked at and thought nice bike

They are shweet.

No offence to hornet riders, just not normally my cup of tea.
