Jake, I am so very happy --- really!--- that you got the "new" Hornet! When you and Yammie finished the red Hornet, i wrote him and suggested that he give you the bike as a gift. Obviously, he gave you the shaft instead. But Karma has rolled around, you're doing great with your own channel, and now you have the Unicorn you've always wanted. Hope it turns out to be a great bike for you! All the best, man. Continued success and happiness to you!

@@spitescorner What kind of fuel do you run in your bikes? Serious question. I'm wondering if you get the non-menthol gasoline. Bikes run like crap on regular 87 octane with methanol as much as 10%. I'm guessing you don't use non-methanol. IF you are not running non-methanol, I think you may be impressed at the difference it makes in how a bike will run. I'm sure it would help the Hornet.

The new cb-1000r black edition actually looks really nice and for around $12,000 it's a good bargain. My only gripe is, it's still low on HP compared to it's class. But it's probably why it's much cheaper.

@mraidymaddful Год назад

Up until last September when it was stolen, I had the 600 faired version of the Hornet for more or less exactly 20 years. The 600 is the same size as the 900 only the power is slightly less. The 600 handled like it was on rails and with a 4 into 1 pipe with the baffles out, it sounded majestic. The 600 engine was based on the late 90's CBR600 and the 900 was based on a detuned version of the 919 Fireblade. I had the UK version of CB600FS with a fairing and it was Cobalt Blue. Oh how I miss it, I felt alive when I rode it............

Normally don't comment on videos but I can't help myself. Last year I bought a low mileage, completely stock 3003 Honda 919. I bought it because I always wanted one, and based on the great 919 videos on YM. It was in great condition, but needed deep clean and polish to bring it back to looking like new. No dings or dents, just dirty. I have been riding it quite a bit, but ended moving recently and lost garage space. I'm not kidding, I was about ready to list it, and then I saw this video. I was already dreading selling, so this video turned that around. I will really be looking for your updates. Great job with the channel!!!!

Got back in to riding a little over a year ago after several decades away from it (I’m 60😳). Started back with a 300 and did about 10,000 miles getting “back into the swing of things”. Your evaluation of the cbr650r gave me the last info I needed to pull the trigger and get one. It’s perfect for me as a daily rider/commuter (and I do ride daily). Appreciate your practical and purposeful reviews!

@KeViNMCMXXCIX Год назад

Honestly so stoked you got another 919. And happy to hear you will not sell it, only if Mark's need it, it's there for him. Love that. I think they're cool motorcycles as well. Never ridden one, might do so at some point. There should be quite a lot of them here still. Loving the fact you are gonna make a series of it with modifications and enjoy the bike as well. Nowadays all you see around YT is newer bike stuff, and I like that but older bikes 70's,80's,90's,00's,10's and everything in between and after tend to be left alone but those are bikes collectors, enthusiasts or newer or even veteran riders buy as a first bike used, or a returning used bike for nostalgia reason and whatsoever. Interesting as well, based on the specs of the Hornet it generates more torque then my Z750, but I do have a bit more hp. But mine does have a real nice mid punch. I wish you could ride one. Not sure if the z800 or z900 are any close to specs or rideability with my 08 Z750, if so you might have ridden one already and now what I mean on how it rides. Looking forward seeing more content on this!

I'm stoked, it's so torquey and really cozy. As much as I loved my Ninja, sometimes it's exhausting feeling like I'm qualifying every time you get on a bike for a casual cruise or commute. I don't ALWAYS feel like going 100 + MPH or 10k+ RPM but that's what sport bikes are made for, so I'm enjoying the change of pace with the Hornet.

I have a 2006(RED!). I changed the bars, mirrors, grips, ends, pegs. I hated those stock parts. Added a Procom module. It really is a great bike. It is a perfect mate for my ZRX. Have fun.

Should check the oil as well on first inspection

I've got an 04' in matte uranium green....lots of "tasteful" mods. The biggest one that addresses the "stink" is a CBR900RR header with a custom mid-pipe and single low exit exhaust. That also uncorks the top end a little bit by adding 7hp up top. I've got an adjustable Hagon mono shock on the rear and I custom mixed oil for the front forks( and dropped them 10mm through the triples) with uprated springs....now it rails quite nicely. The frame is the limitation now. Nice wide aftermaket bars too....with frame slider if I drop it to protect the unobtainable tank. It's a great bike, I love 919's too. I've got a ton more mods I haven't mentioned...

I have had mine for 6 seasons. Bought it with 15056 miles on it and now I am approaching 80000 mile mark. More I ride this bike more I love it. At some point she will be sold for parts, good to know those gas tanks are valuable LOL, mine is still in good shape!

I own a 2003 919 Hornet and I really like it. I’ve got 6 other bikes that are now just sitting in the garage. You mentioned you had a VFR800 and I also,had one. I prefer the 919.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I've had my 06 since 2010 and still stock. Best bike I've ever owned. It will reside on display in my living room the day I can no longer ride it. Best bike ever. I would like to add that we have been lied to however. I just bought a new red tank from a shop also claiming to be the last one in the states for $900. OUCH. Another $600 to replace the fuel pump because the old tank rusted out. So be careful with replacements as someone is jacking up prices claiming extreme rarity. I was able to get rid of the rich gas smell by adding bags to my bike. It must change the airflow at the back because it's almost completely gone with them on. Big set of 3 Givi hard shell bags. Great review and like you, this bike changed my life and still makes me grin like a boy experiencing a first crush everytime I ride it.
