U Are Right..... Ocearth...

Hornet is an Excellent Choice!

 

Hornet 600 Consumption is about 21km/L

:smile:

 

BTW, ocearth finally sent her Hornet to the clinic for a rather thorough clean-up. She's back and even better than before .. S$120 for the treatment: take care of your bike, and she/he will take care of you.

The Word Is Elegance! Hornet 600F...

 

Thinking Aloud...

Since Hornet 900F cost just $1K more...

Shouldn't u consider the H9.

 

Have read a few foreign forum from guy doing a upgrade from H6 - H9...

They were most happy about it.

 

Pwr to wt ratio. More Torque.

My road tax is $296.

Otr Bike Price:$16K - $17K

95bhp - 107bhp

Torque: 43/9700 lb.ft/rpm - 63/7900

Wt: 178kg - 194kg

Seat ht: 790mm - 795mm

Tank: 17L/276km - 19L/268km

(mine res lite @ 260km can go for another 60km till dry)

Mpg: 46 -37 (miles per gallon, can someone help to convert to km/L - teacher?)

Top Spd: 212 - 225kmh

0 - 100kmh: 3.91 - 3.7sec

hello to allthe hornet riders

 

a)when i learnt my 2a at bbdc, there is apparently 2 different models for the hornet 250?

one is the white colour meter and the other is the black colour meter. I think one of them (which is also the older meter) do not have a fuel gauge or trip-meter or something like that?

 

b) I see that most have attached a rear box. But apparently i must modify the mono rack? On the same issue, can a wing rack fit w/o modification? just plain curious

 

can anyone here enlighten me. Thanks in advance!

greetings from the dark side. lolz

 

anyway, thank you for the answer but i was hoping to know if there is any specification or comestic differences btw the "black carbon" model and the white model. Those who have taken their 2a at BBDC should have noticed the difference unless you defy statistics and have picked a black clock face model for ALL your lessons and TP

 

anyone can give their valuable 2 cents on the box and rack issue.

juz wonderin.. wat do u think of the bike when u r riding it @ bbdc ?

[fooz]

hmm.. nv realise thr was 2 diff model when i took my 2A..

dun tell me cl2 oso got diff model, coz i nv noticed at all..

the onli BIG diff i had was throttle contrl.... too powerful.. hah..

 

 

aniway, bak to ur qn abt the rack.. fr wat i noticed, i dun tink ani mod is needed on the monorack.. tink they hav specific rack models for specific bike models.. juz lyk sp..(nv realise they had one at all.. even the givi website doesnt hav it).. gota ask n search ard...

 

wingrack, its a gd investment.. veri convenient as well.. saw my frenz one.. it shld be able to fit MOST bikes, provd u get the specific additional brackets for that bike.. the cost factor, will be the deciding factor.. brand new is ard 300..

 

thrs 2 ver of wingrack, older n newer, diff is the material..

very sensitive high rev bike. I was surprise to see the rpm raise easily to 4-5 when i just turn my throttle ( compare to my 2b bike) and this give rises to a very nice engine sound.

 

rear brakes seems to be a bit weak while front brake is a bit too strong. I have not ridden any 2a bikes before that and there my views might be biased.

 

Damn big rear wheel

 

on 2nd thoughts , probably there difference is just comestics in the so call 2 different hornet 250 models as I have suggested. maybe other hornet riders can clarify this

 

thanks for the into too fooz
