How would you rate the pillion space/comfort of a Hornet (not the new one) ?
Coming from the CBF I am wondering if the missus will find it less accommodating :ermm:
Much the same I think. Handles of the previous model hornet are at the back, not sure where they are on the new. Perhaps the Missus holds onto you though.
Can do a bike swap for a day or two if you want to try one out. I have a 2006 hornet.
because i have a topbox she just sits there :w00t: she finds it more natural than holding onto me or the handles…
All you need is a Hornet with a top box.

PAN have you looked at the 900 hornet (fireblade engine with beefed up mid-range) - not rated as much fun as the six but still a great bike - if you are doing a lot of pillion it’s worth checking out.Fit a belly pan and a small tinted screen and it will look the dogs
wanna stay clear from litre bikes at the moment mainly for insurance reasons…
Get a quote from your insurance co. and see how much extra a 900 would be - it might not be that much more expensive. ;)
