Before I got mine it came down to a Hornet or Fazer.
Looked into the Hornet and was nearly convinced until I read about the nonstandard sized front wheel on some models, realised soft pannier luggage was a no no then I sat on one and realised how small they seemed.
Spoke to a biker while I was on holiday and he said something like this,
"Fuck that get yourself a Fazer, it goes like a rocket cos it's got the engine out of a thundercat (wrong), they last forever and you can pick them up cheap"
Think he might have owned one but it was still better than anything fence-sitting sales men had said in a month of looking around shops.
Still, I'd like a go on a Hornet to make sure I made the right choice...
