HONDA CB600F Hornet 2007-2008

The Honda CB600F, also known as the Hornet in Europe and Brazil and the 599 in the U.S. market, was a standard motorcycle made by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Honda, powered by a 599cc engine, a detuned version of the one used on the Honda CBR600 sports bike.

In 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB600F Hornet, which over the years, it featured several modifications and upgrades. The bike was powered by a detuned version of the engine used by the 2007 CBR600RR that delivered approximately 102 hp.

The 2008 Hornet featured the same modifications as the 2007 model, such as a detuned version of the engine used by the 2007 CBR600RR that delivered approximately 102 hp.

Also, the bike rolled on a new set of lightweight aluminum alloy five-spoke wheels shoded with high-speed rated tires for better performance and dynamic looks, fitted with two 296 mm discs squeezed by two-piston calipers on the front and a 250 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear.

In the performance department, the 2008 Honda CB600F Hornet was powered by a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 102 hp with maximum strength at 12,000 rpm and 64 Nm (47 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,500 rpm.

All the power generated by the engine, combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 173 kg (381 lbs), resulted in a top speed of 224 kph (139 mph).
