HONDA CBF600N (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBF600 was a middleweight machine part of the CBF family that comprised the CBF600N naked bike and the CBF600S half-faired motorcycle. The CBF600N was manufactured from 2004 until 2007 in its first generation and was different than its CBF600S sister by the front fairing and headlamp block.

The second generation was manufactured from 2008 to 2013 under the PC43 code name and met the EURO3 emission standards with the 2008 model. The 2008 CBF600N machine was powered by a detuned version of the 2007 CBR600RR engine.

The new engine was fitted with electronic fuel injection, improving the fuel efficiency from five-seven liters to four-five liters per 100 km without changing the maximum power output.

Other improvements with the new 2008 machine included a one-liter larger fuel tank, a new cast aluminum frame, and a new metallic gray color for the engine instead of the black previously used.

The color scheme was retained for the 2008 and 2009 models, while in 2010, Black with Red, White with Red, and White with Blue were added for the CB600S half-faired version. The 2008 Honda CBF600N was available in Pearl Nightstar Black, Pearl Sienna Red, and Quasar Silver Metallic.

In the performance department, the 2008 Honda CBF600N delivered an output power of 76 hp with a peak at 10,500 rpm with 58 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm from its CBR600RR-derived 599cc four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine.

The six-speed manual transmission took power generated by the engine, sending it to the ground and rushing the bike to a top speed of 200 kph (125 mph).
