[Group] HONDA Hornets' Nest 250/600/900

[endlessloop]

Yes, I had a lot of fun. I hope Spec and Eien had fun too.

 

Teamwork was not an anything extra on my part. It is just a necessity for motorcycling trips.

 

Yes, if Tweety and others could join in, it would have been more fun too. But it was really last minute on my part's availability and I apologise for not informing the trip in advanced to facilitate all's planning. And I was already fortunate enough to be able have Eien and Spec.

 

You spotted the wrong spelling of Eien's name, but it was intentional. I distinctively remember Eien's unique name because I asked him about it. There r also several photos of his name inscribed on Kuantan sand (together with some other naked photos of him...), so I can refer to them for spelling.

 

I spelled it as Eiee because his nick is his actual name, if I am not wrong. In my first article on my blog, I wrote how I encrypt actual names to protect against an internet search to preserve some privacy for friends whom I r unable to use a nick.

 

As for myself, I think I hit my quota for tours in november. The next earliest is dec or jan. I noted there is a tour planned here in dec, but that one need to take leave, so I can't confirm now.

 

I heard from Simon Soh that on 3-4 Dec (Sat, Sun), he might plan for an overnight makan trip to KL. This one would be easier for me to go.

hi guys, i've never been touring before and the furthest i've been is Desaru. i've been getting comments that i'm riding a white elephant if i dun go touring on it so i guess i would take that scary first step some time.

 

wat precautions should i be taking in terms of:

 

1) Personal items

 

2) Motorcycle items

[endlessloop]

If you don't go touring on your bike, yes, you are using your bike as a white elephant!

Just joking.

 

If you see my first trip to Cameron Highlands, I also kalang kabo and anyhow just go.

It might not be the best way. If there are more qualified people here, please share.

Dun get the wave disc... Use the stock wans better. Juz change a better master brake pump cylinder and brakeline will do.

 

But i think can use the cb600 hornet front forks and caliper on the 250, if you can find.

there'll not be much drastic changes in terms of pricing for 6 months. keep a lookout on this forum, there are sellers here. lookout for kaig also, he's quite updated with pricing and a lot of info on 250 hornet.

i think 3rd party should be around $300+ to $400.

 

and people got their own opinions on S4 versus Hornet 250. Ultimately, it's your opinion that matters most.

Both are Honda bikes, so both got reliability.

 

Choosing s4 is easy to justify, but from what I think, I choose Hornet is because of weight of the bike and style - it's lighter and more unique.

 

Fuel consumption wise both should be roughly the same - in fact, the latest Hornet has a higher fuel consumption than Spec3 using 60km/h, said on Honda's website... weird ah?

 

Btw, me is kaiq, not kaig leh~~~

[liangcha]

Tks to spec for yr help when I was lookin for Hornet 250,

 

I had found my ideal bike though it is not a Hornet.

 

For ppl interested in Hornet 900, came across a FU hornet 900 (?) selling for 9k plus at Universal Motor workshop.

 

Hav a gd day.

erm.. compare 2 stroke to 4 stroke.. abit not balanced...

any way.. the rs250 is real powerful...

haha.. 250cc 2stroke is like a 600cc 4 stroke.. but the valve of 2stroke is real fun ... the hornet 250 has a better power to weight ratio compare to S4.. well its stil up to individual prefrence..
