its fast, light and powerful, handles well and looks the biz. But its got a tiny fuel tank, and a thirsty engine. Expect 100miles from a tankful. And the tyres cost a fortune to replace since it uses overkill fat supersport ones more at home on a 1200cc bike. If you only ever go out short distances to pose when its warm and sunny then this bike is perfect. Otherwise get a Fazer as its much more practical than the Hornet.
