Fairing on hornet question

ISLAND GIRL · World Chat Champion Joined: 24 Oct 2005 Karma :

My hornet as shown below has a front fairing on it as you will see but on looking at others around including new ones I see that they dont have these. Do you think mine was manufactured with it or is it possible it was added on after, I would value your opinions on this please since I have not and cannot find others like it.

Its a Hornet S.

Its standard. Stock. From the factory.

Kev had one as a loan bike a little while back. They burned it out until the tyre popped and coolant pissed out.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

No totally understand that bit now, cheers although the man wrote down my details simply as a cb600f. There is so much to learn with this biking lark isnt there Laughing

By the way your yellow one looks nice,dont see many yellow bikes over here,dont think I've seen a yellow hornet, dont make the new ones in blue or yellow now do they?

I.G. check out gallery 21 for my old Hooner,same colour as yours,stonking little bike,wouldn't hesitate getting another.

The little Hornet can mix it with the best of 'em,very understated bike IMO.

That would make my model a collectors item then in yrs to come,lol!
I'm not keen on the new colour they do now, the bronze/orangy colour, not keen on red bikes anyway, it has to be blue or black for me.
I always think the Hornet as a females bike, no offence to you guys, a good first bike for me Thumbs Up

My faired Hornet's the same...only with a taller aftermarket screen.
It's model number is CB600FS - you should see it in the manual too for extra peace of mind. Thumbs Up

As for it being an idea bike for a girl, I can see that. It's comfy, fairly upright and easy to drive. Strangely my new BMW R1100S (despite being a more crouched and sporty riding position) is lower to the ground and is actually much easier with a pillion than the Hornet.
