JustaPor Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 I've talked to the sales man and told him I didn't like the short (120mm) levers on the Hornet. He told me I could swap them with the ones I had (160mm) on the CB500F. So I went to the dealership to get the Hornet's original exhaust and to swap the levers. I also really needed to go back to the dealership as I couldn't find the 2nd Key of the CB500F the day I went there to get the Hornet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustaPor Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 The weather has been shitty for the past weeks so I haven't ridden the hornet that much. My first impressions will be comparing it to the CB500F as it's the only reference that I have. So, the clutch lever is a bit heavier than the 500 but still light. The gearbox is as smooth or even a bit smoother than the CB. Power wise, it's a total different world. The Hornet is a beast! I was used to the 47hp and this one, with almost double of that, is a monster and I'm scared of it. It's the good kind of fright though, as it makes me want more seat time to get it tamed. Other than that, I miss the heated grips and today I got the windshield. Haven't ridden it with it on yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found as i grow older Function over form is cropping up all the time I could have chosen a different/smaller (and cheaper) windshield, but I decided to got for comfort over looks. This was something that helped me chose the windshield. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, I miss the heated grips and today I got the windshield. Haven't ridden it with it on yet. My experience is pretty much the same as yours. The motor is an animal for sure, I have come to the conclusion it's the power delivery that makes it feel quick, pulls really hard at lowish revs where you do most everyday riding. I absolutely love it. A fantastic bike that I see no need to change. I have only done 3500 miles in the 16 months I have owned it as I have been doing most of my mileage on the CBF600. While the CBF is a comfy old slipper with good wind protection getting off it and onto the Hornet makes it feel a beast all over again. Not sure how you will get on with that screen, I had the same one on my CB500F and I didn't notice much of an improvement, but you are probably a different shape to me so it may work differently for you. I always thought it made my CB500 look like an alert Cockatiel Oh and if you are looking for a rack the SW Motech one is excellent, beautifully made and a perfect fit and not very obtrusive to the look of the bike. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani is built like a slightly taller Marc Marquez, he is what Honda thinks of when they design a bike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustaPor Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Took the bike out today, and the windshield is great! The upper body wind protection is amazing. I'm very happy with the purchase. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
