Introduced in 1998, the Honda CB600F Hornet was a standard motorcycle, also known as the Hornet in Europe and Brazil and the 599 in the US market. The bike was powered by a 599cc four-cylinder engine, which was a detuned version of the one used by the CBR600 sports bike.

The CB600F was a sport-oriented motorcycle that offered an upright riding position that made it be considered a standard or naked bike and was based on the CB250F model, which was restricted to 250cc in Japan due to local laws.

In 2002, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB600F Hornet, a naked motorcycle that didn't receive any changes since the last update in 2000, which included the front wheel changed from 16-inch to 17-inch for better corner stability and increased the strength of the front brake pass-over, which resulted in stronger brakes.

The engine was tucked in a backbone steel frame that also housed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a single shock absorber with preload adjustability on the rear that offered optimum suspension performance.

As for the power specifications, the 2002 Honda CB600F Hornet had its soul brought to life by a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 98 hp at 12,000 rpm and 66 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,000 rpm.
