JustaPor Posted January 24, 2025 Author Share Posted January 24, 2025 I've talked to the sales man and told him I didn't like the short (120mm) levers on the Hornet. He told me I could swap them with the ones I had (160mm) on the CB500F. So I went to the dealership to get the Hornet's original exhaust and to swap the levers. I also really needed to go back to the dealership as I couldn't find the 2nd Key of the CB500F the day I went there to get the Hornet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustaPor Posted February 5, 2025 Author Share Posted February 5, 2025 The weather has been shitty for the past weeks so I haven't ridden the hornet that much. My first impressions will be comparing it to the CB500F as it's the only reference that I have. So, the clutch lever is a bit heavier than the 500 but still light. The gearbox is as smooth or even a bit smoother than the CB. Power wise, it's a total different world. The Hornet is a beast! I was used to the 47hp and this one, with almost double of that, is a monster and I'm scared of it. It's the good kind of fright though, as it makes me want more seat time to get it tamed. Other than that, I miss the heated grips and today I got the windshield. Haven't ridden it with it on yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was something that helped me chose the windshield. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, I miss the heated grips and today I got the windshield. Haven't ridden it with it on yet. My experience is pretty much the same as yours. The motor is an animal for sure, I have come to the conclusion it's the power delivery that makes it feel quick, pulls really hard at lowish revs where you do most everyday riding. I absolutely love it. A fantastic bike that I see no need to change. I have only done 3500 miles in the 16 months I have owned it as I have been doing most of my mileage on the CBF600. While the CBF is a comfy old slipper with good wind protection getting off it and onto the Hornet makes it feel a beast all over again. Not sure how you will get on with that screen, I had the same one on my CB500F and I didn't notice much of an improvement, but you are probably a different shape to me so it may work differently for you. I always thought it made my CB500 look like an alert Cockatiel Oh and if you are looking for a rack the SW Motech one is excellent, beautifully made and a perfect fit and not very obtrusive to the look of the bike. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani is built like a slightly taller Marc Marquez, he is what Honda thinks of when they design a bike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustaPor Posted February 9, 2025 Author Share Posted February 9, 2025 Took the bike out today, and the windshield is great! The upper body wind protection is amazing. I'm very happy with the purchase. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
