In this video i dust the cobwebs off a 1996 Honda Hornet 250 / CB250, sometimes called the Honda Jade..Cleaned th carbs, cleaned the tank, cleaned the air filter, drained the oils and put in some new fuel. The bike has a unique whine as it has Gear driven cams..

@@ventisette. Yeah...and the 'Jade' even has stickers/decals marking it as a Jade model - as the Hornet has 'Hornet' stickers/decals. Anyone calling a Hornet a Jade is doing so in error...and to Honda they are two separate models. A very nice bike in the video by the way!🙂

Bruh what happened here. I used to watch you religiously 7-8 years ago, I swear you had 10 times the subs then. And now you've got your face in here too! Hope life's well mate. You got me deep into bikes!

I sold my main channel when it had 130k subs, made some money. the new owner had a busy business venture called momentum, its done nothing since. so i made another channel and posted a few videos.

Most Sexiest 250cc bike of 1990s and still looks classy in design. HONDA is the best japanese motorcycle manufacturer.

Mems bro. My first bike in Australia was one of them in the candy blue. My next bike was a '98 600 version with the lovely 16" front wheel that made tyre choice so good, such sweet bikes tho.

If this CB250F is considered as a pocket-rocket What will be the CB400, in comparison with the CB250F, of approximately similar horsepower.? What will you call a CB1000 project big one then.? Animal names to be used for easy reference
@AridersLifeYT2 жыл бұрын
CB250F hornet 40hp, CB400 super revo v-tec 55hp CB1000 - 125hp i wouldn't consider the hornet 250 a pocket rocket, as that term is an american term for a sports bike.
