the stock size for h250 is 130/70-16.. personally other then the stock tyre tat came wif the bike.. i've used bridgestone bt014s.. i find them quite good..

 

the hornet is a light bike wif big tyres.. so i feel most tyres wil provide more then enuff grip for it..

 

oh.. i believe most bike shops can get u any tyres u wan.. juz ask them..

[FijIan WarriOR]

dude just wonderin wen u 170 mark u talking abt which cc hornet??? def not 250 right?? cause i'm quite interested in d hornet n to think it can travel dat fast is like WOW!

[Wayang]

of cos the 250cc hornet.. the 600 n 900 hornet can easily shoot pass 200km/h..

not really lah, although i have tried till 220kph, but takes a bit of effort and with the help of tail wind.

[Guest Nick_li]

anyone noe where to buy 1st hand or 2nd hand hornet?? 250cc...

[FijIan WarriOR]

Think what they are trying to say is that since your 2a license can ride bike which not exceeding 400cc, might as well ride to the maximum cc of your license allowed.

 

Its just a matter of personal prefrence.

all bikes are good, only lousy owners......

drop by when there's a hornet meeting, listen to the hornet 250 engine purrr . smaller lighter, easier to maintain(lesser engine oil) lower road tax, big fat tyres(stable) equal amount of fun and good power compared to the s4..

don't worry about the pick up, it's not a race bike and i believe you are not gonna race with it. the 1 or 2 seconds difference doesn't make any difference.

[Wayang]

1st things 1st.. instead of askin wat bikes r good.. ask urself which bike do u like.. personally i chose the hornet cos of its outlook.. and uniqueness.. i mean everywh u look u see a super4..

 

2nd.. wil u be upgradin in 1 or 2 yrs time.. then perhaps u have to think abt the bikes resale value.. the hornet doesnt have the resale value of the super4 purely cos of demand.. nobody wil believe a 250cc stroke engine wil gif provide enuff power n most ppl will wanna "maximise" their 2a license by gettin something wif 400cc..

 

3rd.. aftermarket support.. becos of the incredible numbers of super4 riders.. the super4 has plently of accessories to choose from.. exhausts.. bellypan.. etc etc.. whereas the hornet.. well.. most hornet u see wil probably be quite stock.. the prob wif ridin a rare bike is most shops wun be bringin in stuff for it.. so either u order stuff online (there r plenty of accessories for hornet in japan) or u take things u can find locally to modify..

 

4th.. parts.. be it new parts or 2nd hand ones.. the hornet spares juz seems more ex.. i did some comparisons b4 n the diff is quite significant.. somemore its probably impossible to find 2nd hand parts for the hornet cos there isnt too many of it to begin wif.. normally u wil have to order new parts n have to wait for it to be shipped in cos nobody keeps stock..

 

5th.. maintenance.. now in dis department the hornet as a slight advantage.. road tax is cheaper (98bucks per year).. insurance wil definitely be cheaper (last time my insurance was 279bucks for 3rd party).. the insurance premium for super4 is high becos of the high no. of accidents involvin super4s.. the hornet uses less engine oil.. had onli a single front disc brake (brakin power is stil good though).. both use 4 spark plugs.. the hornet has bigger tyres so tat wil be more ex..

 

6th.. performance.. i believe the hornet's acceleration is quite on par wif a super4.. but the super4 wld have more torque cos of its higher displacement.. handling wise the hornet is superior.. the bigger tyres of the hornet wil provide more grip ensuring a higher corner speed..

 

7th.. x factor.. i havent realli rode a super4 long enuff to understand it well so cant comment much there.. as for the hornet.. its an immensely fun bike to ride.. easy to handle.. smooth power delivery.. beri beri flickable..

 

all in all.. if u r lookin for a cheap transport bike.. u cld look for a 2nd hand super4.. BUT if u r lookin for something else.. u noe la.. hahaha~

bro wad the fuel comsumtion for H2? if i ride normal how far can i go huh? can i try to ride until below the red line "E" in the fuel meter? cos i still clocking.

[Wayang]

u shld try to go pump petrol when u hit E.. liddat u can find out how much fuel is actually left in the tank..

 

full tank is 16litres.. take for example.. if u go n pump 14 litres.. it means there r 2 litres left in the tank.. so if u travelled 280km wif 14 litres.. it calculates to 20km/litre.. in tat case u shld be able to travel another 40km wif the 2 litres left in ur tank.. but pls go n pump early if u can.. my bike has ran out of fuel a couple of times.. beri paiseh n troublesome one.. hahaha~
