Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2006, 2007
In 2007, the Japanese manufacturer launched the Honda CBF600S, a sport-touring motorcycle in its last production year of the first generation that packed the same appearance and technical specifications as the previous models.
The CBF600S half-faired model was first released in 2004, along with the CBF600N naked machine, and came as a replacement for the Honda CB500 that didn't compile with the new European emission standards.
Both models featured a safety-inspiring appearance that appealed to returning, new and women riders. At the same time, its power was taken from a 599cc Honda Hornet-based engine fed by four VP-type carburetors.
Like the previous models, the Honda CBF600S provided a decent range with its 20-liter fuel tank but also offered a comfortable riding position, making it suitable for long-distance ridings.
The bike featured a three-position adjustable seat and a two-position adjustable windscreen, making it perfect for riders of all sizes. In addition, the gearbox and engine were optimized for smooth power delivery.
Under the hood, the 2007 Honda CBF600S packed a 599cc four-cylinder liquid-cooled powerplant with an output power of 76 hp at 10,500 rpm and 58 Nm (43 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
Attached to the engine was a six-speed manual transmission that converted the power generated by the engine and sent it to the rear wheel through a chain drive, launching the bike to a top speed of 202 kph (126 mph).
