The Honda CB600F Hornet was first introduced in 1998 for the |European market as a standard motorcycle powered by a 599cc four-cylinder engine, which was a detuned version of the one used on the CBR600 sports bike.
In 2013, at the EICMA Motorcycle Show, Honda launched the CB600F Hornet, which over the years received several upgrades and revisions, such as the 2007 model that was powered by a detuned version of the engine used on the CBR600RR and the 2011 model that received a facelift.
The 2013 Honda Hornet came with a new Matt White color scheme, a sporty tail that enhanced its aerodynamic look, a sleek meter cover design that merged the instrument panel and headlight in a single unit, and a stylish integrated instrument panel that featured a high-tech LCD bar-graph tachometer, speedometer, dual trip meters, and a clock.
In the power department, the bike featured a compact engine tuned for strong mid-range power and torque fed by an advanced PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system that offered excellent throttle response and precise control.
As for the power figures, the 2013 Honda CB600F Hornet took its thrills from a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that provided 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.
Also, the bike rolled on a set of five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels shoded with Super Sport-derived tires that offered precise cornering control, topped by two 296 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a 250 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear that provided strong braking performance.
