I own a 2003 Hornet, got it a year and a half ago for $1,600. 35,000 miles New tires, fluids, fork seals. It has been great. love the look and its really fun to ride.
I own a 06 919 that’s been very well taken care of. I’m the second owner and it’s been in a garage it’s whole life. I left it outside once overnight and felt terrible about it lol. Just ran her over 16k miles. Bike is absolutely mint. Best bike I’ve owned and something about it is just so much fun! The smelly exhaust is the cherry on top for me. One of the best bikes ever made.
Oh boy, it's been a while. I was wondering how the H-Hornet fared all this time, and I must say I'm a happy man knowing it STILL rides well. The first giveaway bike, and by far my favorite one.
You get rid of the stink by converting it to a traditional single exhaust via cbr900rr header and custom fabbed mid-pipe. It also uncorks the top end and gives you another 7hp or so. If you really wanna have fun, get a Hagon adjustable rear shock and front springs with 15 weight fork oil. It stiffens it up yet it's still compliant enough for the road. Then drop the front forks 15mm or so, it quickens the steering tremendously. Cheers!
5 hp at most with power commader 5, pipes and a bmc filter. every dyno reads different. anywhere from 100-106hp from what ive seen. 60-66tq. ive got mine out fitted with race tech springs up front and a penskee 8900e rear shock
Yes, the 919 stink is the one think I always forget about when I remember my old one. I would have to let it air out before I rolled it into the garage.
I got myself a 2003 honda 919 two months ago it has 14200 original km's I love that baby to dead. Ps: I've been watching you since you crashed your first triumph so I saw the whole struggle with your 919
I recently bought my own Hornet as my first bike (4 years of riding but just never owned one). This series helped me learn a ton about how it is all put together. Hail the king of Hornets, the Hentai Hornet
My brother had a 919 for years and didn’t let me ride it till the day before he sold it. I understood afterward that he didn’t want me stealing it constantly. Great Honda.
I was afraid to see what you'd say about the 919. It was my 3rd bike that I bought after a Yama YZ 250 (well-used), a KLR 650, then this. The 919 is still ridden every summer here in Utah by me, and it has about 44k miles on it (I probably have a lot to work on with it). I bought mine in '07 and love it...glad to see it still passes muster with you guys!
Well, its cool to see the Hornet back again! Fueling is a bit touchy but it lugs down low so good, I just do most slow stuff in 2nd gear. The "choke" is really just a fast idle to warm her up. Sadly, I am about to part ways with mine as I just purchased a 890 Duke R to replace her. I told myself I would have to sell the old stuff to make room in the garage. So if your looking for a very clean 919 :).....Thanks for all the fun content!
DO NOT wrap your exhaust if you live in a humid area or ever plan on riding in wet conditions. The wrap traps moisture and rapidly rusts the the exhaust.
Wouldn't the heat from the exhaust evaporate any water, while riding? However, if you don't ride often, the cloth will gather excess moisture from the air.
It what world is 30 thousand miles, or nearly 50k kilometres here in Aus, alot of miles? Working with, around and on bikes for years. I've personally seen 4cyl engines from the big 4 with more than twice that mileage, still running with no issues and not had rebuilds.
I got the same bike, Mine is 2006 red. I F%^*$!@ luv it. I got it on first week of New Year 2021. Closest thing to flying I'll ever get. If it has wings it will no doubt take off.
Yammie if you and Spite like the analog dials you owe it yourselves to try the Z900rs I think you guys would really dig it. I've put 40,000 km on mine and I still can't get enough.
I have a Honda Hornet, except its a 08 model with a 599cc engine and about 190 kilos wet. Makes the same amount of power but redlines alot higher. Great generation of bikes and its a shame the cb650r and new Hornet are either much heavier or a different configuration all-together
Please get another hornet, i have a 2007 that i absolutely love, best bike I've ever owned by far. id love to see a true build up on one and take it to the track lol
Just did the valve clearance on my 02 919. 20k miles and changed 7 shims. If you haven't already, now would be a good time to install block-off plates.
Found this channel because i wanted a hornet (my dad had one when i was a kid. ), just passed my MSF and can finally cross state lines to bring mine i bought last month home. That bike is legendary in the honda stan community. So excited.
OMG the engine design is so similar with Honda's tiny little rocket baby RS150R/Winner X/SupraGTR/Sonic. Really puts you in a mind that Honda's feat of engineering is reliability at its best.
Actually the hornet project made me leave the channel for like a year or two, it was really painfull to watch episode after episode of Yammie struggle to get it through all the issues of such a wretched machine, i had to stay away from watching him suffer but now hearing from him that he learned a lot from that experience and that he helds that bike into such high esteem feels like closure to me. Ride on my fav squid channel.
I used to have the same bike, a blue one with the 16” frontwheel. Had it for 3 years, then i bought the 900 still got it today. I’m allways happy if i see a 600.
See I've always wanted an SV650 because of the beautiful naked bike look but it's a V-twin and I like the inline four so I passed on that and got a supersport. Now I thinking I'll be adding a new steed to the line up.
I will 100% become a patreon if you do a project 919. I just picked up a 919 myself and it seems to be a great bike. Previous owner did not give it the proper love though and it needs help.
3:15 having...in the tank, my english is not good enough to hear that word. Also like to hear the other issues these bikes have. I have a hornet, bought it brand new in 2002, and i never had any problems with it except every few years a new battery. I would like to keep the bike as long as possible.
Can you believe the Hornet returned home even for a day? :’) support us at www.yammienoob.co

@@LongTran-dv4wu Preach, where the hell are these people seeing sub $2000 hornets, mine is a 47000mile semi beater and it cost $3200
TFW: You type in Hentai Hornet on your work computer and realize too late what you've done...
At the point you can only pray your boss is a man of culture
This bike and your misadventures with it are why I started watching you way back when. 😁 Nice to see it return for a visit.👍👍
I was like "why am I getting a Yammie recommendation from a year ago?" Then saw "returns"
Years ago*

Agree. I got the 07
I love my red 06' 919 to death. It is the quintessential new-retro UJM. Part analogue, part digital, no bullshit.
Eric is the hero we didn't deserve. Welcome home Hentai Hornet
I love mine....and its so awesome.
Guy let you ride the hornet again and ya stuck him on the suckzuki!!!!!

I actually own a 919, and it is without a doubt because of this beautiful channel, and the classiness of the OG ahegao Hentai Hornet.

I bought a 599 as my first road bike. Love it!
The 919 is my first bike I bought new 16 years ago. Used for 2 years and almost died only once.
That’s not a bad ratio.
“Everyone online is cooler and does more than you”
It’s the hard lesson I’ve learned 😤
Definitely a 919 project is in order!
I love this bike so much. I plan to keep my 2007 forever.
This is the one that started it all!
Though i've been here when you rode your R3🤣
My brother had a 919 for years and didn’t let me ride it till the day before he sold it. I understood afterward that he didn’t want me stealing it constantly. Great Honda.
I've only heard of it...like a Bigfoot of a bike. I'm glad that you got to have a nice reunion Papa Yam.

Does that happen with stainless pipes too?

It's a dream to ride

I remember when this bike first showed up. Time just goes.
I remember the sketchyness when taking apart this bike xD
Damn coward for not putting the motorcycle's true name in title.
Algorithm dude

Crazy underrated bike
We all know that guy wanted to ride that RS660 lol but I understand the liability issues

I love my 919 Hornet. Great bike and in my opinion better than the 1200 Bandit.
god damn, i miss my 919
Yammie you should get a hentai hornet 600 cc this ride is sweet
Alright I'm impressed. When I get a crap bike, I'm stickerbombing the hell out of it
Ahh yes welcome back to the channel beautiful beast xD
Your video is amazing,I enjoyed so,I also sent LIKE👍
I had the hornet 6 as well as the hornet 9. Hands down the 6 was a better bike. I traded in my hornet 9 for a triumph sprint GT.
Hi there Yammie Noob, can I make a request? Can you also review also a legendary Honda CBR954rr fireblade? More power to you guys...
Yammie so I did a thing 😬 I bought a 1999 Buell thunderbolt s3 as a starter bike. And it terrifies me, but for two grand I couldn’t pass it up.
Oh my geebus, there are other Yam squids in Tampa. We have to meet up soon
33K miles is low! in uk these run until the 120K mark...
He got punished for ridding that 250cc .. come on guys! :)
Man is it me or does a hornet 250 from the 90s sound better than a lot of bikes the way it wines
Papa Yam nostalgia
You know homeboys up there on that little 250 like why are they bashing my bike like crappy craigslist bike㊗️🏍
Dang, that gas cap looking cleeeeeean
Do the Kawasaki 300sm!!!!!
Or the CRF300l
i miss my 919 ;(
it's not the bike , he maintained it perfectly...
Such a cool bike
I love it
Eric. I’m in Clearwater. We should ride.
The hornet identifies as an attack motorcycle
Its come full circle today boys
