2006 Honda CB900F Hornet from United States of America
Summary:
Superb choice for all riders at all skill levels
Faults:
No issues in the first 500 miles.
General Comments:
Amazingly nice package of performance and handling. Comfortable riding position.
Even a first time rider can handle it, and grow into it. Forgiving, but you must treat it with respect. Easy to forget you've got 900cc under your seat.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? No

I've had my 919, for little over a year and it is the ultimate ride. I ride this thing everyday it's not raining to work in Manhattan. All year I ride. Freeze the 20 minutes to work - it's okay.
I'm coming up on 8000 miles and nothing needs fixing. I change the oil and feed it gas, and it keeps going strong. In winter it starts right up.
I took the dual exhaust off and put a single hollow 4 inch barrel on, and it's the loudest street bike I've ever heard. The bike owns the road everyday in the city, zig zagging through traffic and on the highway screaming past those dragging 4 wheelers.
I love my bike because of its universal style that can appeal to anybody. It's a rare metallic green. No plastic, just metal hanging out with a big cruising headlight. Comes with the performance and speed of a race bike and the comfort and attitude of a cruiser.
Here in New York, the naked bike isn't that popular, but for me, it's all I could ever ask for from a motorcycle.
