Smart!! I've always liked the Hornet since it first came out. The unfaired one looks the best as ever.

Hi

Front forks are probably an improvement, but possibly not really needed. Pity they have dumped the nicely finished twin clocks and fitted a cheap "sports" style set (these always seem to be made out of plastic that looks really shiny, cheap and nasty).

All the best

It looks the same, except they have turned the forks upside down. Confused

It's not that nice. And they engine, why is it the same?

I wouldn't buy a new Hornet for £5,200

Looks good, but not convinced by the orange!! Confused Needs to be in met blue and have a bigger tank.... still. One of my mates has a red 98 one which is a great laugh - especially with the dodgey 16in-front-wheel-related steering Very Happy
