Great video dude. I must be getting old because I love everything about that bike, including the head light and even the mirrors. Honda hit a home run. I like it so much, in fact, I just bought one. I got a black one, I already love it. Thanks for sharing yours

I bought mine for $3500 in 2017 with 15000 miles on it, now it has 75000 and counting, best budget bike you can get...

I have the 2002, 22 years later still going strong.

My bike is identical to this one but it’s a 06 so still literally identical. Mine is literally all original bone stock. I got another set of stock slip ons and removed the baffles so it’s a little louder than the other stock mufflers. I almost got some aftermarket slip ons but they just don’t look as clean as the oem ones. One of the best bikes I’ve car ridden and I’m a proud owner of one for over 8 years

Great looking bike. I've had the 06 red 919 for over 11 years now. 50,000+ miles and still running strong.

I bought mine new in 2007 for $6000 and its been great. I added a power-commander and aftermarket muffler and then installed the map to match. I also changed the front sprocket to lower the rpm on the highway. Im 6 foot and it was a little short for me. I realized later that I could raise or lower it with the spanner wrench on the back and that made a big diff. The bike is cammed to have strong low and midrange power. When it came out it was ranked as THE HONDA RACING TEAMS FAVORITE BIKE TO RIDE ON THEIR DAY OFF.

This bike has forever been my dream bike. She's just so beautiful!

Great vid. Love my '06. I put a power mod, Renthal bars, grips, ends, mirrors, footpegs, and a stock Honda windscreen. Gotta be Honda red!! Have fun all.

I have one too. A great bike and can't ask for more for its age. Also will be the biggest street bike I will ever ride in my life.

I have a 2002 I love my bike ...I would definitely recommend aftermarket headers into one pipe sounds so much better and makes it look perfect👍

Just bought an ‘04 back in April in the UK and I’m doing it up, back to nearly new condition. Honda are releasing a new 750 “Hornet” but it’s a lousy parallel twin, it shouldn’t even bear the name! I got my bike for a steal, with a low mileage but it needs TLC cosmetically. Searched and found your excellent video as one of the most recent about our bikes!

Awesome video dude 👍🏼. I have an 04 919 and I absolutely love it !

Very nice - of course. In UK, these are known as the Hornet 900, the "big brother" of the Hornet 600 (pre 2007 Hornet 600 that is!). Got 2 of them... "twins", very expensive twins as if I treat one the I gotta treat the other. There were many mods available: Matris damper, Nitron rear shock, PCIII, Akrapovic exhaust, Galfer brake discs, Rental bars, ceramic coated exhast downpipes, braided brake lines, silicone hoses... the list gets expensive. 🤔

When these were new I thought the pipes were hideous so I bought a new green ZRX1200.

Love your review, I'm sold to this bike !

I have an 04 . Came to me with broken bar and mirrors , in desperate need of tires and one foot peg . I had tires put on , I installed a national Motorsports small fairing on , ordered factory micky mouse stock mirrors with small extensions , I love them ! Lol , and you can actually see fantastic with them . Did an oil change , ordered footpegs from Amazon that look identical to stock , added a Givi monolock top case that just pops right off when not in use . Also put those weighted bar ends in the handlebars , helps with vibration. The bike came with Yoshimura exhaust. that sounds fantastic. love this bike , I have a few bikes find myself on this one 90%of the time . I do want to replace the rear mono shock . I was thinking about a power commander, but don’t know if it’s worth it. Bike goes pretty good for what I need . Oh and it’s Silver , they are the fastest 😂.. good video stay safe

Got one of these as my first bike last year. Love this thing.

Those old motorcycles are beautiful man

Single sided swingarms are so much easier when removing the wheel and changing tires as you don't have to readjust the chain and the wheel comes off much quicker as you don't need to remove the brake caliper...

I just put a deposit down for my first bike ever (Kawasaki Z400), and maybe in several years time, I'll see if I can move onto one of these, as this is a beautiful bike

Always liked the look of this model.

Thanks dude. New DRZ400SM owner here and is how I originally found your channel I love your opinions and the bike vids ! Did I recently read something that Honda is bringing this bike back? (Hopefully)

I actually really like the stock mirrors! They suit the style of the bike.

What a beautiful vid, and congratulations for your language. Love this bike too, gonna find one soon.

came from the old Carby bike on the GS 1000 back in the day purchased a hornet 919 07 model. What a Suprise it was couldn't take of quick at light wanted to wheelie .... Then hit second gear front wheel would leave the pavement again without even trying the only thing i hated about the bike wasn't comfortable on trips ....then purchased 09 harley dyna superglide..with high way seat good bike but i do miss that quick acceleration from hornet.....my next bike will be 02 on wards gold wing for being comfy.and its reliability

Nice video mate, keep up the good work, I have one of this in red too, she has dual toshi pipes on, sounds glorious.

Great video brother I appreciate it. Awesome, I have a 2005 Honda 919 hornet except mine is black one quick question how do you remove the Tips from the stock exhaust. I’d like to do that to mine if you can get back with that I sure would appreciate. Thanks man. Awesome bikes, happy, riding brother.

Very nice bike,I have one too year2007 19k mileage

i got a 06 919 and its a beast. i just got some fresh motul oil in there and and now i can finally rev the shit out of it :D

What a sweet bike!

The crops are growing nice in Mexico :)

Great informative video! However, totally disagree on the mirrors! There isn’t such a thing as something hideous or ugly, there are only shifts in perspective. ;) Are round mirrors ugly on classic bikes?? You’re possibly basing your preference coming from a more sporty, hooligan-ish perspective, which is fine, but whereas this bike’s universal design attempts to strike balance between classic, modern standard, and sport styles, in my humble opinion. But not a big deal though, changing mirrors out wouldn’t bother me in the least, nor would leaving them. Exhaust sounds seriously nice with what you did to the stock pipe! I was surprised thinking how good these OEM mufflers sound until you revealed how you modified it. Always hard to gauge entirely from a video, but sounded right about perfect to my old trained ears. Cheers.

It is in amazing condition. I’m envious. Any secrets or tips?

Im looking for a japanese i4 najed bike with displacement Next year i will look for Hornet 919 X11 Cb1000r Fz1n I cant wait for the next season! Thanks for the video

bro the music....i cant even finish the review. there 1 for sale near me was checkin ur vlog out

Does it has Fi fuel injection? Tks bro. I'm planning to get my first bike. So excited

Isn't the CB900F tuned down from the old carburated CBR 919 engine? I think it would at least take 4.5 seconds from 0-60mph as the CBR 919 is more like 3.28 I'm asking because I'm thinking of buying one of these engines for a track day car, as their a lot cheaper than a fuel injected CBR 954 or 1000RR engine.

i pay $65/yr. for Progressive ins. for my '04 919

Hi. I just bought an 06 and I'm loving it! But I have a small concern, when I'm stuck in slow traffic my temperature starts to go up past the half mark. It doesn't get to the red but its close. Im just wondering if its common or do I need to look into its coolant system.?

👍

does it have power under 5k?

Like 919

Please send me those ugly factory mirrors :) I bought my '04 with a aftermarket mirror that looks awesome. It is too bad I cannot see a thing in it :)

Why on earth did you put that music in there... and SO loud too....

Sup with exhaust smell problem?
