Is it worth getting one? have people got dampers? what did you think?
Been debating whether to purchase one or not. So I am seeking advice of others.
Cheers.

Not for the road, a fair few people tend to run them on track, but I've not found it too bad.

My road hornet shook its head a fair few times on the road and never out of control, it's not a particularly unstable bike to be honest.

I've had the same experience - a few twitches but nothing to really fight. I don't really think one's needed. I'd say you need to do some miles on the bike and make your own mind up.

well i was on an nsr125, and jumped to a hornet 600, so there are many many many differences. Its taking me a while to adjust to all the big and small differences the hornet has. One thing i noticed was the steering and seeing as my experience on the hornet is limited i thought i would ask around.
Cheers for the feedback. Will clock up some more miles, just gotta get use to it i guess.
