For 2011, Honda has again remained true to its clearly defined aim of not just meeting but exceeding customer expectations for the Hornet, and has responded to feedback with impressive styling updates. The meter cover has also been redesigned to integrate the headlight and instrument panel in one sleek unit that enhances the smooth, aerodynamic front profile. A new instrument panel with a digital tachometer adds to the bike’s usability as well as its sophisticated image.
