The Hornet loves to be revved hard and it is close to the redline that the bike really comes to life. We feel it is best to ride the bike between 80 km/h to 100 km/h which it does effortlessly. With such less NVH levels, top-end performance and a butter smooth engine and gearbox, the Hornet performs really well.
