The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest producer in the world. They have gone on to manufacture over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The JDM Japanese Domestic Market favoured smaller capacity bikes, especially in the 250cc to 400cc bracket. Many of the 600cc and above models Honda sold in Europe were offered on the home market in smaller capacity versions, creating some wonderful lightweight sports bikes. Some of these made their way to the UK through the grey import market, allowing us access to these pocket rockets.

This 250 Hornet has a 4-cylinder DOHC engine that revs to an incredible 16,000rpm, housed in an unfaired chassis sporting a distinctive high-level silencer offering good performance in a lightweight package. It has been part of an enthusiast's small private collection for the last 10 years and was probably his favourite bike to ride. Its higher handlebars provide a comfortable riding position with a fairly low seat height. Run recently, it is offered with a number of old MOTs and a current V5C.
