JustaTwist Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 My first “big bike” was a hornet 600, I loved it. Super reliable, plenty fast enough and great fun.Just give it a quick oil and filter change, drain the tank, fill up with fresh fuel, give the brakes a quick test and then go take it for a spin for 120 miles until you need to fill up again!Oh and if you decide you don’t like it, you will easily get your money back, especially if you let me have first refusal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
