also... make sure all the visor screws are tight... trips came off mid ride! but he's a douchetard
I like the Hornet a lot! Here's my take on it.

1. Lots of wind noise compared to my RF-1000. I have gotten lazy about wearing my earplugs lately. I'll have to break them back out now.

2. The visor is a pain in the ass to change. I have a clear and a light smoke, and I'll probably just use the light smoke 24/7 instead of dealing with changing it out. This fall, when fogging becomes a problem I'll get a pinlock visor. Then, changing tints will be a piece of cake.

3. Very versatile lid!

4. The bill doesn't bother me. I had it up to 60mph today and could feel it tugging, but only slightly. If I tip it down a tad, the pull goes away.

5. Holy crap, VISIBILITY. The visor hole is HUGE and crystal clear!
