Honda Hornet 600 | Getting used to it (dominator exhaust)

[@133media4]

Finally a Hornet video with good resolution and sound. I have a 2004 Hornet. Mine came from the previous owner with one tooth down in the front sprocket and boy does it have some torque. It's a great bike and I'm gonna eventually use mine for the track.

[@iride1999]

Nice man, I've been thinking about the sprocket change too but it can offset the speedo accuracy and I don't like that to be honest, have fun on the track bro.

[@jamesmorrison3225]

My first and still my current bike pulls like a train didnt realize how quick they are straight through exhaust popps and bangs like a champ 51k miles on it and still buts a smile on my face every time i ride it

[@iride1999]

yeah it has tons of character

[@nicenow25]

The downshifts, the everything. It's sublime

[@iride1999]

Cheers for watching dude.

[@salimaitousaid5612]

I keep coming back to this video everytime

[@crankytales]

Every time I consider getting other bikes (mt07,450sr,rebel 1100) as my first bike,I either see or remember your videos and man, it just pulls me right back. Like, yes, it IS the oldest bike from my contenders/options and not really the best looking, but damn does it sound HEAVENLY. And by far the cheapest. Cant be beat,imo. Just gotta save up some more cash.

[@iride1999]

All those bikes are good, but there is something special about the hornet. You definitely won't regret it.

Try Scorpion as an option? Make sure you get the correct year. Exhausts 2003->2006 are different than the 1998->2002.. well, the link pipes are very different.

Hi man i bought CB600 too but IT has some awful racing muffler so im courious can you ride with that Dominator Pipe with Out some earplugs of Will IT start giving headache...sorry bad english

[@iride1999]

This exhaust does give out a very deep sort of sound in the low rpm and it hammers into your skull, that might get annoying after hours of riding but in higher rpms its not loud at all so I'd say you'd be grand without ear plugs.

I know you may prefer it using the clutch but these hornets u can upshift without clutch just snap off throttle, much quicker and keeps full hand on the grip avoiding a nasty bump taking the bars away from you. Just a tip.

I know about it,you can do it with almost all bikes. I'll do it if I really want to maximise my acceleration, but I don't see the point for normal riding.

Depends on your location. Depends on what parts.... In Brazil, the 2003/2004 Hornet is sold as a 2006 Hornet which really f's things up as they think their 2005/2006 is a real 2005/2006 (It's NOT a 2005/2006!).... the 2003->2006 are virtually identcal, but make sure you know what part(s) you do order.
