2003 Hornet 919 vs a modern bike.

So I currently have a 2017 CB300F which I really love. I'm looking at a 919 on Monday to purchase.

My main question is will I miss modern stuff like ABS, etc to get into a 25 year old hornet?

I don't think I will be missing out on much but I want to just gut check here (i've only owned modern bikes)

Clogged black water tank - any suggestions?

I have a 2015 Coachman with a Dometic toilet. The black tank is clogged I think. I can see the water level from the toilet but the tank isn’t really draining (a couple gallons at a time at the most). I did put a couple bottles of Clear It in the tank but I don’t think it really did any good. We never put TP down there or any obvious items that would clog it. Any ideas before I take it to camping world?

Looking to upgrade from a CB300F ABS to either a '07 919 Hornet or '06 599 Hornet...which one realistically is the better bike for me on a 300F

Hey folks, I'm asking here because you all are the best and the brightest and most informed on an opinion on this scenario.

My riding style is pretty balanced. Highway / canyons / don't rip around fast but not afraid of speed.

The 599 is carb'd and the 919 is FI. My 300F is FI.

My main question is for folks who ideally have spent decent time on both. I can gain a good amount of 'tactile' information from the test rides (both scheduled this week) but a lot of the riding dynamics come out over time so I dont want to pick one simply based on a 5 minute test ride.

Does anyone have a hard preference over one or the other?

I'm 5'8'' and 160. I've heard the 919 is a bit taller. Is this going to be too tall?
