BIG MAC Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 And set up accounts at filling stations as they have an appalling tank range! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebiga Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks guys joined the forums etc, I have heard that they only do about 35 mpg if your lucky so I will have to have few euros to hand when I get the bike and go out.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christineG Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 HelloMy ex had a honda cbr600 and it was terrible on fuel with only a small petrol tank..we were for ever stopping it took us 3 day to get to the spanish border then we had to set off back! also the seat is not very comfy..but maybe that's just me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Wiggy Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi to all.In this modern day you would have thought that it would be possible for a manufacturer as big as Honda to produce a machine capable of both a reasonable MPG without the loss of too many horses, seem the only place a Hornet and others of this ilk should be used is on a race track. They would certainly be no good for endurance racing.To do any serious riding on these boy racer machines is going to be a drain on the old back pocket; I think that I will stick with my Flying Briquette, (BMW K75s) with its 21 litre tank that has a range of 200 mls. It may only be a sports tourer but it’s certainly P.D.Q enough for me and I certainly do not hang about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG MAC Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Can't go wrong with a Yamaha 600 fazer. They have the range and the legs on a Honda Hairnet.......but I am biased...I have two fazers at the mo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonoeuf Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 My wife has a Hornet older than you want but still a cracking bike. The tank is 16l newer models have 17l. Normal days out we are looking for fuel at 220k if you wring its neck like any bike a lot less KPH. I rode it before giving it to her and I loved it. Very easy to live with and lots of mid range torque. One of the guys in the Hornet club has done over 100,000 miles and has never had the head off. If you want more wind protection then the Fazer is a better bet as they do a half faired version.Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
