Very nice. I didn't know they made Euro plates that small... :P

Didn't we get black wheels on this side of the Atlantic? I don't recall anyone having the silver/grey wheels over here...

:lol: the plate is actually "100% home made" !! but it actually underwent a police control very well.I've been lucky that's allright !
And as far as the wheels are concerned, well I guess this is another very little difference there is between European Hornets and Americans 599 as long as colours (sadly enough we don't have the yellow over here) !
I sould have taken the pic in front of the Eiffel tower, but I don't have the time to make some others, going back to school tomorrow and I'm leaving for Finland next wednesday...
anyways I'm glad you like it ! 8)

Bike is looking good, man. Definitely would be nice to see pictures of France and Finland. :wink:

Defenitly ! I will take pics in front of the Eiffel tower. 8)
And you guys will get shots of Finland as well, but unfortunatly the Hornet stays home. no shots of the bike on a frozen lake! I wish I could take it with me though, but it's not gonna happen.
I'm coming back in May and paying the shipment all the way to Finland is not really worth it. :?

They are stock on the '06 599 here as well. Here's a pic of my 9er.

Think the 2006 are gray and the 2004 are black, in the US.

I actually like those blinkers on the front. Are those stock?

Its been such a long time. i've been living in finland for two months now, I love it, this country is great! I dont have much time I have to go to class but yes pioneer1320 my front blinkers are stock.

Nice bike! I do like the black wheels. It also has a gold fork... did the us bikes have a gold fork?

hey, looks like eligonis' bike has silver fork, looking good also!

They've been taken a while ago but i figured you'd like to see them!

We got the silver wheels in Canada, maybe the black wheels are unique to the USA ? I haven't seen any black wheels on any Hornets here, then again I haven't seen any other Hornets at all up here! I guess that makes me unique too :)

Ok...the sauna pic girl with brown hair on your left with the pink top...WOW! She's very attractive...

Rest of the pics were great too...

You're having way too much fun charclo!!!

The 04 has the black wheels and 06 silver here... that's what I've seen.

To clear things out about the color of the wheels, here what I found on the French forum:

the grey wheels appeared on the 2005 model in France I dont know about other countries though!
