picking up a Hornet with 18 k miles on it come monday .. its clean as hell .. owned by 57 year man from new, hell it even has the original exhaust, and hearing this you sold me on a Dominator
AHHAH me to, just just go my one Christmas, only rode it 30 miles, now asleep in barn, bloody snow and ice now / winterGrrrr! with the GP1 Dominator can on the way to fit. HAHAH with no, DB killer. ahahah
I've been searching through youtube for days to find good quality hornet videos and here i am now. These videos are so satisfying to watch. Buying myself a Hornet 1999 next week. Its little bit "upgraded" with 107whp. Love the videos man and drive safe! ❤️
Glad you enjoy the videos man, definitely you won't be disappointed with it. Sadly though I wrecked my hornet, I'm so gutted bout it, I won't find another bike like it.
Getting a 2002 Hornet (97HP) how did you get it up to 107? I would like to also have CBR600 power ;o) Its the CBR600 engine detuned (they put a head with smaller valves on it and smaller carbs I believe...SO making it back to a CBR600 would be costly..
Who doesn’t love a good Hornet, sounds incredible, nice and flickable in the corners, super reliable Japanese engineering at it’s finest 👏 Nice riding mate 🤘
Just bought 1999 Hornet. All original as from the factory! The only thing i don't like is the original sound exhaust pipes sound - will have to modify, but otherwise perfect as a first bike. So exited!
Great video. The hornet is a really good bike, bulletproof engine, so much fun to ride it. My one was the first gen, carburettor one. Sold it to an 80-year-old guy who used to race hornets when he was young! So I got him a good home, I'm now on 2010 Yamaha fz1 - another good bike I have to say, but it doesn't rev as high as hornet lol. Ride safe! Best!

its a carbed bike so if you turn on the kill switch, there will be no spark in the engine but fuel will keep flowing into the cylinders and exhaust, when you turn off the kill switch it will spark and sometimes shoot flames out the exhaust.

Great video Im a hornet owner myself as well...mines is a gen 1 from 1998 My question is, what do you have on your handlebar on the throttle? Something is wired up as i saw...it moves with the throttle
For performance it has an exhaust, kn filter and stage 1 dynojet kit. But just a exhaust makes all the difference. The jet kit is not necessary because stock the hornet runs rich.

Hi, I see you’ve had a Dominator exhaust for a while. How many miles did you drive with it? The exhaust has somehow worn out, i.e. it started to work louder, burned out or something? :)
Yeah I've had it bout a year, still sounded the same as when I bought it, not a spec of rust on it either. Won't be able to give ya anymore updates on it cuz I wrecked my hornet sadly.

There is no problem, the way the switch works is it cuts the ignition but fuel keeps flowing so once you turn the switch back on it shoots flames out the exhaust and makes a bang, I just thought that was entertaining 😂
Thanks bro I appreciate that, without going into reserve I've done 125 miles. If I'm correct reserve is 4 litres?? Should get another 40 to 50 miles from that.
