HONDA CB900F Hornet (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB900F was a motorcycle manufactured by Honda from 1979 to 1983 as the first generation and from 2002 until 2007 as the second generation. Both generations were powered by a straight four-cylinder 900cc engine and were considered roadsters.

The second generation CB900F model was manufactured from 2002 until 2007 and was known as the Hornet in the European market and the 919 in the North American market because of the Hornet trademark held by the vehicle manufacturer Chrysler.

In 2007, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB900F Hornet, a standard motorcycle in its sixth year of production with an upright seating position and powered by a 919cc engine.

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.

Other unique features were represented by Honda's latest PGM-FI fuel injection system that offered fast throttle response, the dual exhaust system mounted under the seat, and the massive mono-backbone frame with the large aluminum swingarm that provided an ideal balance of rigidity and flexibility for enhanced handling.

As for power, the 2007 Honda CB900F Hornet had its heart set 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.
