But much sexier with that undertail exhaust. Maybe because its a bit slower and more expensive than an SV650? But much sexier with that undertail exhaust.

It's basically a naked bike with the f3 engine - the newer ones have the cbr600rr engine... There are 2 schools of thought on that - lots of experienced riders don't think it's a good idea to start people off on inline-4s. These guys will usually recommend ninja 250's, 500's, or the SV650 (v-twin) as the biggest choice in starter bikes. This is great advice - most people learn to ride well and get comfortable more quickly on these types of bikes... BUT...guys like Keith Code (who know a thing or two about riding) recommend starting off on older 600s... The rationale is: It's light enough for most people to learn on, and it has enough power so that you won't get bored of it after a few months. If you're of the latter school of thought, then the Hornet is an excellent choice. No fairings to worry about damaging, good ergonomics, fast, reliable... I don't know why we don't see more of them on the street. Hey Tyler,
