HONDA CBF600S (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

The 2011 Honda CBF600S was a sport-touring motorcycle part of the CBF family and, in its second generation, manufactured from 2008 to 2013. Compared to the CBF600N naked machine, the S model featured a different front fairing with a small windscreen and a dual headlight system.

Unlike the first generation, powered by a Honda Hornet-derived engine, the 2011 CBF600S took its muscles from a detuned version of the engine used on the 2007 Honda CBR600RR with an additional fuel injection system.

The new fuel-injected engine improved efficiency from five-seven liters to four-five liters per 100 km without messing with the output power. Also, the fuel tank was one liter larger than the previous one, offering slightly more range.

Another improvement for the 2011 machine was the new cast aluminum chassis that housed a new metallic grey painted engine instead of the black one previously used. As for colors, Honda introduced in 2010 new Black with Red, White with Red, and White with Blue color schemes.

As for suspension, the bike packed the same system as its predecessors, with a 41 mm conventional fork that handled the front end, while the rear was taken care of by a seven-way spring preload-adjustable shock absorber.

In the braking department, the 2011 Honda CBF600S featured six-spoke cast aluminum wheels fitted with two 296 mm discs with dual-piston calipers on the front and one 240 mm disc engaged by a single-piston caliper on the rear.
