Hi guys, I'm considering a hornet cb600f and fazer 600 naked. But both are equally good and price wise is very competitive. I've work out some findings as a background to facilitate the discussion. Could u give me some advise/feedback on their pros and cons e.g. technical specs, fuel consumption, price, value for money etc. thanks
