Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2004, 2005
In 2005, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB900F Hornet, a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range in its second generation of the CB900F machine and its fourth year of production.
The bike was based on a sports bike with a revised engine and gearing and a more upright seating position while delivering performance and comfort, similar to a sports bike and a cruiser machine.
Also, the second generation included models manufactured from 2002 until 2007 known as the Hornet in the European market and the 919 in the North American market, due to the Hornet trademark held by the vehicle manufacturer Chrysler.
The 2005 CB900F Hornet featured the same visual improvements as the 2004 model, which included an exciting new Metallic Black livery, a new black-finished valve, ignition, and clutch covers, and on both front and rear three-spoke cast aluminum wheels, the bike featured gold-finished brake calipers.
Some unique features of the CB900F Hornet were highlighted by the muscular 919cc engine inspired by the legendary CBR900RR, the 194 kg (428 lbs) dry weight that made it the lightest bike in its class, and the upright seating position that was ideal for commuting, sporty rides, and long trips.
In the performance department, the 2005 Honda CB900F Hornet had its soul brought to life by a 919cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 109 hp with maximum strength at 9,000 rpm and 92 Nm (67 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,500 rpm.
