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 🤘
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
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!
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..
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!
@@iride1999 Fz1 pulls a bit "different" way compared to hornet lol. You have to be more careful hahah But I can't lie, Hornet is a great bike. I had mine for 12 years and enjoyed every single moment of riding it.
@@CallMeMONGOOSE no it just works one of the best bikes i ever had ... keep up on them is cheep .. just keep good tires/good battery and she just starts every time just a good bike if you get a carb bike turn the gas off when parked

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.

No, I had to get the housing as well. The installation was easy yes but make sure you have the correct connector because the headlight didn't come with one.
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.

why you are switching on and off of your kill switch during ride? showing it doesn't work?
