28-01-10 - Honda CB900F Day 1

So after the WR125X, I get a complete change up! As I don't just like to focus on new bikes, I take a look at a KE 03 reg Honda CB900F Hornet, with 30,000 miles on the clock. She is in great condition, and wow, for a bike that is on sale for £3,300, she has a few surprises in store for me!

Dont forget, for all the tech specs, the rest of the write up and insurance quotes, just pop over to www.independent.co.uk/motorcyclediaries!! This is always updated within 24 hours of the final video on each bike!

Indeed fella!! As I say in the next video in the series, what an amateur mistake to make, probably cos I'm an amateur!! Don't profess to be an expert, that's the point of the blog!! Just my opinion! Hope you enjoy the other vids bro! Thanks for feedback!

Hey mate you were driving on the wrong side of the road...lol j/k

Liked your review, I picked one up in july with only 3000mi on it.

How did you like that windscreen? is it oem one?

[motorcycleluke]

It does make a difference man!Not sure if its OEM - but for something so small - it defo makes a difference at speed on Motorway!!

Hoep that helps mate!

Wondering, did you notice any excessive vibration in the handlebars? Some reviews i've read say vibrations in the handlebars cause numbness in the hands/shoulders after riding.  Thoughts? In the US these bikes are not common at all. I'm hoping to find one soon.

Keep the videos coming! These are great!!
