Hello fellow cager dodgers,
I just joined the forum, but have been researching it for a few weeks. I also just purchased a 2007 Honda 919 Hornet (CB900F) with 345 miles on it. I posted a few pics of her with a story and more information about her (I will paste that in this post).
I have been riding for a while (dirtbikes as a kid then streetbikes as well since I was 16). I have had a number of bikes and now I have found a bike that I will be keeping when other bikes come and go. I do plan on buying an adventure/dual sport bike at some point (KTM 1290 Super Adventure R or the new KTM 800 Adventure bike that is in the works). That bike may be a keeper too, but I know the 919 is a keeper.
I have already found a lot of useful information on this forum and look forward reading, learning, and contributing when I can.
Below is what I wrote with the pics of my 919 I uploaded to the site:
My 2007 Honda 919 (CB900F)
So far completely stock.
I found this unicorn in January 2017. It had 345 total miles on it and looked like it had just been taken out of the crate (that had been kept in an airtight bubble), showroom new. I checked the vehicle history and it was purchased in December 2009. The motorcycle shop that was selling the bike for the owner said that he brought in 5 bikes with very low miles and bought a new bike (he has more bikes at home as well). I wish I could have so many bikes. I'm sure that they would all have more miles on them though.
I had about a 4 hour drive home after buying it and made sure to not stay at a steady rpm/speed for too long as it is still being broken in.
I researched this site when I started my search for a 919 Hornet (CB900F). I am very happy with it and understand why the riders who own them love them.
My last bike was an 2012 Aprilia Tuono and the 919 still puts a smile on my face when I ride it. It is a great do it all motorcycle and in my opinion is a beautiful bike.
There will be some changes to come, but I will not be changing too much or the paint job. Some wider handlebars, frame sliders (mounted on the frame not the engine), small windshield, possibly a centerstand, dc power outlet, and performance upgrades (at least remove some restrictions/let it "breath"). I usually buy black or "stealth"/dark shades looking bikes, but this red is really nice in the day or night. I like the look of the 919 in every color I've seen so far, but I think the red is my favorite (probably some bias there).
This is not to boast about the bike. I am sharing my excitement and gratefulness to own and ride it.
