Must say not look at a Hornet..................
I am embarrassed to say I like the new ones and they do 62mpg - mick has brainwashed me
Which model hornet are you talking about mate - there was the original underseat CB600, using the CBR600f engine, then there was a new version (no underseat, using the engine from the CBR600RR) - none of those will do 62mpg unless you're on a very, very long straight run at about 60mph. The newer bike, what I think you mean isn't a hornet - did you mean the 650 model? If so, I'd get an older one tbh - compared to even the original hornet it feels a bit gutless, and its got budget suspension and brakes too (although does look okay at least!). My hornet preference would either be an 05/06 ish last model underseat model, with the USD forks, or the last proper 600cc hornet!
