Honda Unveils Its New Naked Liter Bike: The CB1000 Hornet Bares All At EICMA 2023
Honda stated in its launch video that the new big-bore Hornet takes some styling cues from the CB750 Hornet, but builds it on the fire-breathing Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade platform. That means that the steel frame of the supersport finds its way onto the liter-class naked bike and also other things like the Honda Pro-Link rear suspension system.

When I was out riding my CBR650R on Saturday, the left heated grip lost all friction against the bar and started rotating freely whenever any force was applied. I had to hit up a hardware store and duct tape it temporarily to the bar end…which also suspiciously rotated without much effort.
On the latter half of the ride, I called my usual Honda and Kawasaki #motorcycle dealer (which isn't where I bought the bike from) and asked them what to use to glue the grip back on. The lead mechanic picked up the call and told me to use 3M "grip glue" after removing the existing adhesive and roughing the bar up (typical stuff). I didn't have much luck looking for any such dedicated adhesives, so I ordered 3M Spray Adhesive 90.
The adhesive showed up today so I went to do the fix. Guess what I found when I took the grip off? The bar was as clean as a whistle! The shop I bought the bike from didn't even bother to glue it on properly! >:(
At least it's all fixed now.

I have always found them usefull... It is also hard to tell the diffence between 12,500 rpm and 13,500 rpm.
It is not "good form" to rely on the rev-limiter.

Anything that runs two-stroke or has more than one cylinder, a tachometer is definitely useful.
But riding something like a DR650SE big ol single cylinder I don't miss the tach' while thumping along. It's very plain where the (nice) torque plateaus, and single cyl torque is forgiving all the way up the gears. That stated, I still wouldn't mind a tach' when riding one.

Nice! The CRFs are great bikes. I've been really happy with my CRF300 Rally.
Did you end up selling the Ninja 1000SX then?
Nah, I bought my 450 over a year before selling my Ninja.
My Ninja's replacement is a CBR650R. :) (Original)

I think so. I want one, but haven't gotten around to buying one yet.
I've got my eye on the Helite Turtle 2, which is mechanical rather than battery-powered. Having to use a tether is inconvenient, but I won't have to keep it charged. It's also easy to replace your own canisters.
The various electronic vests have some really impressive tech though!
