Bit of a sad story: As an 18 year old way back when I dreamed of a cb600f Hornet, specifically the f6 version as ridden in this video, longingly yearing before my biking journey begun in 2009. I spent a couple (UK) CBT certificates before managing to save up for the bike I'd always wanted. Sure as shit, for sale in Bradford, with just over 600 legitimate Scottish Doctor miles on the clock, a 2007 (f6, late register) Hornet pops up. We'll be having that, I thought and so it was, delivered a week later. Lessons came immediately after, along with a few jaunts out on the Hornet, on closed/private roads... for 700 miles... Honest officer, I was practicing my manouvers! Test day came, as did snow, it was called off. Retest time, unforseen circumstances (whatever that is). Cancelled. Again. Finally got my licence, with one minor, a fucking single scabby week after the new UK A2 licence restrictions came into place. Bought all relevant restrictors yet no insurer would touch me, so I had to sell my dream bike... Wound up with an Aprilia 660 Strada, then a bargain of an er6n from the school i did my test. Great times but the shit aint the same. Still... We had 700 great miles together. I miss that bike like a first love.
Crikey, what a journey you've had, being an old git mine was much more straightforward. Summer just around the corner, hope your able to get out on the bike again soon. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
All said, if someone is after off the line drag race type machine, the old boy F6 Hornet will take out the 650, but the 650 is a nice bike, can't take that away for it.. but that my 2 cents worth

I always wondered what the Hornet is like compared to the CB650F.
Great video. Thanks.
Lovely bike, personally because of what I'm used to, I found the Hornet a little cramped. Thanks for tuning in.
Apologies if the picture isn't as sharp as it is hopefully will improve as the rendering process seems a bit slow.

Think I said it's a 13 year old model, it's actually 17 years old 😊
Thanks for the review
Thanks so much for watching 👍
Love the look of the cb650f, but I do have a soft spot for the older carb hondas. Nice natural video. Good job
Cheers, hoping to see someone soon that has many vintage bikes, maybe another potential vid.
Hi mate, can you please tell me where did you buy the seat cover and tank pad on the CB650F?
