HONDA CBR600F2 (1991-1994) Specs, Performance & Photos

The CBR600F was a sports bike part of the CBR series powered by a 600cc inline four-cylinder engine manufactured by Honda in 1987. The first model of the CBR600F was known in the US market as the Hurricane and was sold from 1987 until 1990.

The CBR600F, along with the CBR750F and CBR100F, was Honda's first inline four-cylinder, fully-faired sports bike, with the style influenced by a European trend toward a smooth and fully enclosed fairing like the Ducati Paso.

Also, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer made available a range of subsequent models designated as the CBR600F2, F3, and F4i.

The Honda CBR600F2 was manufactured from 1991 to 1994, considered one of the most modern and innovative sports bikes at the time, and was introduced to replace the original CBR600F Hurricane.

The development of the F2 started in 1989 when Hurricane LPL Ishikawa was in charge of the new bike, known as the MV9, but also F2, an alphanumeric that led to its official name.

The 1991 F2 machine featured a single cradle steel frame that housed a 41 mm telescopic fork with preload and rebound adjustability on the front and a Pro-link gas-charged shock absorber with preload, rebound, and compression adjustability on the rear.

In the performance department, the 1991 Honda CBR600F2 had its soul brought to life by a 598cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 100 hp at 12,000 rpm and 64 Nm (47 lb-ft) of torque at 10,500 rpm.
