2004 Honda CB900F Hornet review from Australia
"Fast and responsive, easy to ride, very comfortable and beautifully built"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing at all.
General comments?
The bike is well built, rides beautifully and is very comfortable.
The torque range in the 're-mapped' Fireblade' 919cc engine is perfect for this style of bike, allows easy commuting with few gear changes required, and great open road performance with smooth acceleration and plenty of power right through the rev range.
I haven't had this bike for long and it is still running in, but I am very, very happy with it, and would recommend it to any serious motorcylist who wants a beautifully built and comfortable bike for a great price. You get far, far more for your money with this bike than many other manufacturers give you.
The late 2004, 2005 series have a fully adjustable front suspension, something earlier models lacked, and that means you can set up the bike for most riders and riding conditions - that was the only deficiency with earlier models, now fixed.
