CB919 Hornet?

Posted: Sun Nov 07, 2021 12:57 pm

Have any of you owned or ridden one? What are your impressions of the bike?

I don't know if it would qualify as a bucket lister but I would like to try one out before I get much older.
I have owned a couple Kawasaki ZRX1200Rs, a couple Suzuki Bandit 1200s and a couple 1st gen. Yamaha FZ1s over the years but never the naked from Honda.

If you have experience with any of the bikes listed, how does the 919 compare to them?

Thank you, gentlemen. Smile

I currently own and ride my 2007 Hornet and can honestly say that is is
the best bike and the most fun bike I have ever owned in my 78 years. It
is Fast, nimble, Honda reliable, and easy to ride! Did I mention fast.
You should make the opportunity to test ride one, you would not regret owning one.

I have ridden one several times and yes, fast and reliable and comfortable.

Great, be sure and post your feelings/thoughts on it. What yr did you get?

Be aware of the kick stand not being all of the way down! While moving my bike, I bunped
the ks slightly, and when i set in on the stand, it rolled forward and fell over. Luckly I still had ahold
on the bike and was able to stop it from a hard fall, but still wound up with a scratch on the tank.

Enjoy
