My time with the 2023 Honda Hornet has come to an end – so join me for a full walkaround of the bike – including the touring pack of panniers and tailbag – and let's go for a jolly nice ride to see whether I think this is the biking bargain of the moment. Find out whether the touring pack is worthwhile, and whether it's a good bike for experienced riders as well as those who are new(ish) to riding.
