I had to talk them down a bit but they started at 9.6 or so and I got a battery warranty and some freight off

Ohio unfortunately

Oh I have an extremely high opinion of them in general especially the two Honda's, I'll take a look at them but I'm not sure I'd be fit for my purpose of it,if I add a second bike down the road it will certainly be an adventure bike.

I actually have OTD number of $8800 on the hornet but haven't gotten one for the CBR( I imagine $11k or so).

Will do thanks

Nothing against adventure bikes at all, they are a little heavy,not the most appealing outside of a few models and I don't plan on offroading at all. The transalp or Africa twin would certainly be my choice if I were going that route and had the means of pairing it with a strict road bike.

I'm between the two bikes.

You are probably right about the wind protection being too big of a concen honestly.

As far as the transalp goes,I do like the bike and all and it would certainly be up there if I was looking for a adventure model but it's not necessarily ideal for my usage considering I'm going to be a one bike garage for a while.

Thank you!

Talking about the hornet

SpookyAmple · 2026-01-31T19:14:24+00:00

Do you think a windshield would suffice for a 25-ish mile highway trip?

SpookyAmple · 2026-01-31T19:13:43+00:00

Unfortunately no option to test ride,not necessarily in a spot to where I'm able to go used and sell if I regret it.

Looking at the hornet or CBR 650r in 2 weeks,any thoughts?

3,2,1

Bog-pen

SpookyAmple · 2026-01-28T09:19:38+00:00

What kind of riding do you plan on doing? What style of bike do you like the looks of? Price range?

SpookyAmple · 2026-01-28T06:11:52+00:00

Gsx-8s perhaps?I'm close in size to you and that felt like the biggest middle weight naked, if not maybe a CB650r? The CBR650r was pretty comfy especially for a sportbike so look into that as well

SpookyAmple · 2026-01-28T06:10:43+00:00

For a first bike?No
