A little roadster that blows the health, it tempts you? With the Hornet, Honda offers a turbulent machine barely watered down. Think: a block of 600 CBR just moderated in a particularly lively chassis. If the mill lacks enthusiasm at the bottom of the tachometer, it becomes damn nasty after 10,000 trs. Super handling, look of hell and braking hair, the CBF is a small terror of the cities. She steers very well, creeps like an eel into the flow of traffic, plays the road and asks the pilot for more. However, the "hornet" is not the most liveable Honda on a daily basis. The dry suspensions and the hard saddle are not a guarantee of comfort. We almost come to thank the low autonomy that allows to rest the buttocks. The Hornet is more of a toy than a utility. In order to increase its range of action and fight against the dominant market, the Yamaha 600 Fazer, the manufacturer is doubling it with a Fairing version. Equipped with a protective fork head, the beast only moderately accepted the transplant. Of course, the design is energized, the fight against the wind is postponed beyond 160, but the finish of the appendix is disappointing. And worse, at the approach of mid-revs, it vibrates bluntly. To refine. But to have fun riding a turbulent and invigorating machine, the Hornet is more than interesting. The year 200 saw the appearance of a wheel of 17" for the front axle instead of the 16".
