Hats of to Honda with the new Hornet. Can only be good for the consumer when other manufacturers are forced to sell there bikes at more affordable prices. Only the SP is coming here to Australia but such a good price. Great job presenting!
It’s amazing to see a girl I met in a Harley Davidson in 2018, into such a successful UA-camr. Every video is better and better. All the best Kate, you are doing great! Pleasure to watch 🎉
I've got an enfield 350 (as well as a yam 600) and 20bhp is enough if you have the right frame of mind. If you treat it like a grown up, torquey 125 then it's great fun. You need to put your ego away and just enjoy the ride!
Interesting reviews ladies and well summed up. One thing stood out to me and that was the Honda pricing. Looks like they are the first of the big manufacturers prepared to take it to the Chinese. Another thing with the big powerful nakeds is the lack of a fly screen to neaten the front and give a bit of wind protection.
Super cool video 😊 really enjoyed the commentary from you both I really wanted to check that classic 650 out darn this flu! Great to see Suzuki back with a new bike to.
Good film. Many DRZ owners are not simply nostalgic about them - they're still riding them. I'm one of them. Mine was allegedly 40 bhp, but I've never tested it. Plenty strong off-road. Not very comfy on it, but if I need to go a long way I throw it in a trailer. The DRZ 400 was attractive because it was tall, bouncy, super-tough, sub-150 kg and had longish service intervals. The Honda 300 is a good effort - ask Itchy Boots - but a step-down in power & torque from the DRZ. My bike is the E version - the most off-road variety. It's disappointing to see Suzuki isn't offering an E option but the S might be good enough - we'll see!
Great reviews and content. Well I'll be out and about on my new steed next week when I bring her home to Yorkshire. She had been owed by a friend over in Lancashire.
Hi both, enjoyed your bike reviews, I will be interested to see how you get on with the Hornet 1000. Honda deserve a lot of praise, to think they can produce a bike at that price point and still make a profit just shows how over priced many bikes are. Thank you Kate & Lillie.
You should start your own tv show together doing this kind of thing more often, it’s so natural how you show everything and alternate telling about it. :)
Well done kate and lilly 🙂, enjoyed your little walk round the show. I think the price for the drz400 will be £5995 on the road so it's not too far away from the competition 🤔
I'd love to see it at £6500 but I just don't think they'll do it that cheap. Their gsxs1000 is £12K compared to the hornet 1000 at £8,999. I think they will struggle to be competitive in price but I hope they can!!! 🤞
Great video, I was hoping to get to motorcycle live last Saturday but ended up rolling my foot on a trip hazard and have been hobbling around in pain since, fingers crossed it gets suitably better during the week and I may be able to call in to the show next Saturday as I travel down from Manchester to Bedford 🤞
Seriously, you two lassies could sell ice to Eskimos. Loved outake at the end. You should do part 2 of the bikes that came in at 11 - 20. I am looking forward to the Honda Hornet SP 1000 review.
Hornet 1000 questions, 1 range at high speed, can you fit a screen , or us Honda making a tour screen to fit because of huge design of clocks , winter tire recommendations , seat hight, and us comfort seat available for those that want a touring vehicle instead of just sport
Hi Kate and Lilley, great job! Kate, I'm interested in the Hornet 1000 as thinking about an MT09SP will the in-line 4 of the Hornet egg you on or be happy going at normal speeds (previously owned a S100R Sport sold as it always wanted to go go go)?
Another great preview, I do hope you have recovered from your illness.. I have a big favour to ask, I’ve just bought a 2024 cf moto 700mt bike and wondered if you would take it for a couple of days to do an honest review. Good or bad as to your thoughts , it’s now run in so no holding back. I was looking to have a couple of nights at the pods at the Look Out cafe, could meet there and you have the bike and see what you really think to these Chinese little babies. Please let me know . And keep doing these great reviews. 5 star. 👍👍👍
About the hornet cb1000 I hear the seat is not as comfortable as the street triple 765. After just sitting on it, how did it feel, not just the seat, but the ergonomics. Does it have cruise control? I believe not! Also the tires it comes on, are said to be on the cheap, as for performance capability. Does it have tubeless tires? I should think so! Even with shortcomings, so as to keep the price low, it is still a beautiful bargain.
Great fun, you two; like walking around with you at a motorcycle show. Living on the west coast, if it's not Japanese, then it's too far away for suspect quality/reliability. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
Does the CB1000 Hornet & Hornet SP has an six-axis ABS+Traction control? What's the differences to the older "neo classic" 1000ccm model? Does the new one use the same engine of the older model?
A nice selection. But was there an assortment of concept bikes or near production bikes? Hybrids? Electrics? One stand out bike not shown is the RE Flying Flea e-bike for its retro modern look, a nice change from the Anime crowd, and one that might just be representative of the future of motorcycles.
Even more entertaining than the bikes: watching all the dorky visitors wandering around with their beer bellies, trying to look cool in front of the 2 girls
Well, being the magnificent specimen you no doubt are, perhaps you should have been there and showed all the dorks that were present on how to do it properly and look good in front of girls. Never mind. 😂
Save yourself the ticket money next year. Just stand outside any pub on a Fri/sat. nights if you’d rather look at blokes with beer bellies for your entertainment. Whatever floats yer boat. Personally, I prefer bikes, girls and beer.
The big question for those of us in the US is, is Honda bringing the CB1000 Hornet here? American Honda is not good about bringing in a lot of bikes that are popular in Britain and Europe unfortunately for enthusiasts and dealers. I'd also like to see the new Forza 350 scooter come here, but I can only wish.
Good to know Thanks for the response. I agree with others Both yourself and Lillie should be doing a podcast. Maybe next year you can get Lillie, grace, ruby etc and you all do the NC 500 as a group?
Hornet 1000 will pass a service station as well...me old 'Blade used to do 64mpg average touring through Europe (no mirrors, NSR500 bodykit, slippery). MT10's are gutsy
@UsernameKate ouch, as an older retired biker I'm always keenly aware of the prices of bikes and the average working guy or gal may struggle in our modern world to afford such things

Great to see you two again!
Into the smaller cc, more budget options so the Suzuki/BMW 450 and Honda 350 look great.
Also The Bear!
😁 I think 2025 is gonna be a great year for bikes!!
Doubt the bmw will be budget

Thanks for the tour Kate and Lillie, there are some pretty cool-looking bikes to look out for! Nicely presented! 👌
Yes Lillie! I like your surprise pick, I bought the 2024 model last month and it’s a great all rounder.

Another great video from the power duo , both work so well together.
That's ma bestie :D
So many great bikes there this year, spoilt for choice! 😍
Great video and so many bikes to choose from. Was there Sunday and loved the Tiger 800 but also thought the Ducati Streetfighter V2 was really nice.
Both naturals in front of camera so keep it going. Love the content in general

I'm looking for a new bike in the new year so really looking forward to your review of the hornet sp.
I'm such a hopeless fanboy for Kate and Lillie although that Triumph 800 came a close second 😂
the bike behind the tiger 800 sport . whatever it was looked excellent in that colour scheme
Bikes of note to me, hornet cb1000, and the BMW 450gs.
Would had been great to see more from you both, a two part perhaps showing other bikes from the event like Harley Davidson or kawasaki.
No enough hours in the day I'm afraid! :(

Love the RE Bear - if I hadn’t got a Shotgun a few months ago I’d be after one!
Wish they'd colour coded the front mudguard on the S1000R it would make it look a lot better in my opinion.
Great to see Lillie on the mike again.🎉
Hope that's on Mic and not on Mike 😮
@RawTopShot 😅 fair play. I knew it didn't quite look right. Doh!
Great fun, you two; like walking around with you at a motorcycle show. Living on the west coast, if it's not Japanese, then it's too far away for suspect quality/reliability. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
The S1000r looks like a beast.
Like the blue color, but not the z900 front😩
Great review. Thanks ladies. FYI Lillie’s mic was very echoey
An improvement on last year, let me tell you.
Does the CB1000 Hornet & Hornet SP has an six-axis ABS+Traction control?
What's the differences to the older "neo classic" 1000ccm model? Does the new one use the same engine of the older model?
No IMU, much like the suzuki gsxs1000s. Engine is deprived from the 2017 fireblade along with lots of components
Think am gona have one of them royal Enfield bears I like them sat on one on Sunday
2:00 probably tho it's retail price could make or break it
2 thumbs up for the MC girls and cool bikes"
Goes to show how motorcycle prices are way out of control...it's no wonder dealerships are closing.
How did they let that broken down Ducati in ??😂😂😂 love Lilly ❤xx
Hey it's sorted now 🤣 and sexy as heck!
@ lol 😂 I know just messing with you 😂😂 how long you two at the Nec for ?
We've gone 🥹 Mike and I might be back one day this coming weekend just as punters 😊

I just can't get excited about electric bikes I'm afraid! But... I didn't cover them because I know plenty other people will 😊
Look forward to see your thoughts on cb1000 hornet v Suzuki gsxs 1000
Yay! Hello Lillie.
you girls crack me up! 😊
Great job ladies!! Do I get a prize for the number of times you said "excited" :)
Love seeing the new technology!
when dream come true going to long journey feel about to fresh air on face so excited to speed road and beautiful natur attract to see 😮
Does the 8.8 inch screen on the praying Mantis come with a one year Netflix prescription? True CinemaScope films can be displayed. 🤪
Thought Lily did a excellent job , you've got some competition kate .
No competition here! We compliment each other very well 😊
Ew, we don't compete. We compliment 😇
Kate said it best. 1390r is best bike ever made
The GB350S may only have 20bhp but makes up for it with 29Nms of torque at 3000rpm, which I feel is more important.
Can't wait to ride it and feel what it's oomph is like 🤣
Still no GB750,which is a shame
The oldvdrz retails for $7200 in the US. So I'd guess itll be around 6k here.
It never directly translates in my experience. I hope you're right though!!
Saw at the NEC today,Husqvarna have dropped the price of the 701 sm to £8795 for 2025.
Interesting...
ending fun was cool :)

Great review, can't wait till Sunday when i go.
You need to stop saying ''For sure'' like some kind of 90's racer though !
When people tell me not to do something, I'm afraid I just want to do it more! 🤣
elaborate on the KTM's "semi" active suspension? what part is active? damping? spring load? ride height? no Hayabusa?
will all be covered in the ride review :)
Great stuff, but where is the Yamaha MT07? That is the bike of the year!
looks like use had a ball there guys

I confess I hoped to see you at EICMA…just to say hello 👋.
The Honda Hornet 1000's at £8999 and £9999 have made all other bikes look like a rip off. The SP is £6,617 cheaper than the Yamaha MT10SP!! 😂
Pcp has pushed bike prices up. Most people will never own them too which is just stupid.
