HONDA CBF600N (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBF600N was a naked motorcycle of the CBF family, manufactured from 2004 until 2013. Over its production run, the bike comprised the first generation from 2004 to 2007 and the second from 2008 to 2013.

In 2008, the CBF600N model came with an almost new package for the second generation and only shared its appearance with early models. Compared to the first model that featured a Hornet-based engine, the 2008 machine packed a detuned version of the engine used on the 2007 CBR600RR motorcycle.

Also, the new engine was fitted with a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system, improving fuel efficiency and delivering smooth power and precise throttle control without changing the maximum power output.

The new cast aluminum frame was designed to maintain optimal rigidity. It housed a lightweight 599cc four-cylinder engine while offering a classic naked design with timeless elegance and a comfortable ride with its three-position height-adjustable seat.

A two-piston caliper with two 296 mm discs took care of the front braking performance, and the rear was handled by a single-piston caliper with a 240 mm disc, offering strong stopping power.

As for suspension, a 41 mm telescopic fork handled the front suspension, and a seven-way preload-adjustable shock absorber took care of the rear, providing optimum suspension and handling performance.

The 2010 Honda CBF600N, with its 599cc four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, boasted 76 hp with a peak at 10,500 rpm and 58 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
