Hi everyone,

It's time to sell the little Hornet now since I have 2 jobs which require long distance driving and carry heavy load which mean even less time to ride. Also kinda lost interest in riding at the moment so I would rather see someone enjoys this little rocket than look at it park at the garage everyday.

Some members prolly know this bike already but I just go over the brief history of this bike. The Hornet 250 is Japan domestic only motorcycle and it's not sell at any other countries. This bike was import new by the owner of Spectrum Honda in Lake Forest, CA for his wife. She put couple thousand miles on the bike and decide to sell it. To avoid the tough smog law here in CA the owner register the bike as a 79' CB 250.

Stuffs that's add on the bike:
-Sansei Racing 4 into 2 Exhaust system ($900)
-Coerce Rear Tail with tail light ($300)
-Coerce Fenderless kit ($140)
-Tommaselli Condor Handle bar ($90)
-Rizoma grips ($60)
-Rizoma bar ends ($49)
-Rizoma Reverse Retro mirrors x 2 ($220)
-Rizoma handlebar watch kit ($120)
-Pazzo levers in black ($100)
-Carbon front fender, side panels, and rear hugger ($450)
-Motovation frame sliders ($65)
-Goodridge SS brake front and rear brakeline ($120)
-Targa turn signal ($20)

It has less then 6k km which is around 3.7k miles. Pictures available at link below:

If only you'd been selling nine months ago, I'd have the coolest 250 in the country...

I can't belive what is sitting next to my yella 599. The sikkest bike I've ever layed eyes on !!! Thx again Kam. Also my buddy just brought me a $100 bill, because he bet I couldn't find a 250 Hornet in the states. If anyone is ever in So Cal and wants to take this amazing machine for a spin let me know. YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!

Took off work a little early today 'cuz it was 75 degrees, and couldn't wait to get this thing in some turns. Went around the coast and local hill (palos verdes). I don't know if it's the Tommaselli bars and the stance they create, but if I even thought about turning I was there. A tiny little countersteer and I was lower than I have ever been on my 599. This thing can only weigh 320lbs or so at the most. You keep this puppy at 12-14k rpms and it goes. Did any of you hear me back east? LOL !!! It screams like no other bike I've heard with the Sansei exhaust system. My buddy rode my 599 and if I really worked the clutch and gears I was right there with him (Don't get me wrong he probably could have taken off on me with one drop of the clutch). I think that's why I'll end up keeping this and parting with the 599. It is just to much fun to keep going through the gears and watching everyone who thinks they know about bikes arguing with me that it's not a 250. When I stopped by the Yamaha dealer to see if they had the new 250 supermoto on my way home, the 250 Honda Hornet was the talk of the shop and everyone had to get a look. Anyways, this machine rides better than it looks, and that's hard to beat !!!

That's awesome! I've seen one of these in person at a shop in Nor Cal - but can only wish to ever ride one.

Again, Congrats!
