Honda Hornet 250 (CB250F)

This is a short introduction of my 2002 Honda Hornet 250 (CB250F1). It's a liquid cooled 4 cylinder 4-stroke 16V engine with gear driven cam shafts and 249cc, which revs up to 16,000rpm. Factory rated 40HP at 14,000rpm.
Changes made to the original design of the bike include: CBR954RR tail light with integrated turn indicators, a shortened Termignoni carbon exhaust cansiter, PB Rear Hugger, Koso RX2N GP-style dash and a lamp mask with HID and LED lights.

did you actually spend all the video revving it's tits off without even a ride up the street?

I wanna know how it sounds under load..

@stevenns125 At the time I had no helmet camera. So it's a bit difficult to ride and shoot video. Now I have a helmet camera, but the sound is crappy!

Anyway, you may take a look at video... watch?v=aMiL99SPDlU

0:40 haha oil ! :D not good :P

[HardcoreCafe]

@opooshteno That's not oil, it's some unburnt fuel. Oil would give a blueish smoke plume. When you rev a high-power engine with carburetors and suddenly lift the throttle, there is always a bit of unburnt fuel, because the air-to-fuel ratio becomes too rich temporarily.

is it normal or weird to be in love with YOUR hornet? :P i wish mine was that nice! what headlight is that.. and exhaust? what budget do i need to get it like yours haha?

[HardcoreCafe]

@maxweston1 Haha, thanks!

Well, you have the main ingredients already: your Hornet and your passion for it! Give it a little time, and bit by bit you can change things here and there. I have my bike for about one and a half year now. The Termignoni exhaust was already installed when I got the bike. The headlight and some other parts I ordered off eBay, see other comments here. Overall budget!? no idea... but most parts can be found for acceptable prices, when you do some online research.

great sound for a 250, sounds much better than the CBR 250R IMO, not sure how much the exhaust had to do with it but in general sounds powerful.

how easy was it to fit that 954 tail light ?

[mutenrochi]

It's very very beautiful, his sound It's very nice, I LIKE IT!!!

[maxweston1]

@HardcoreCafe Thank you for the swift reply! :)

i do love my hornet, and i've only owned it for a short while, but there's always things you have to change with a bike :P

i do like the sound of it standard, but it's a little whiny, and not loud enough :3

i do like loud pipes, and i can't wait to find one or make one if i have to!

the ones to buy are so expensive though..

i've tried looking online for parts and lights, nothing too certain though.

i'll update you with how it all goes :)
