HONDA CBR600F3 (1995-1998) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CBR600F was a 600cc four-cylinder motorcycle part of the CBR series made by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer. The first model of the CBR600F was known as the Hurricane in the US market and was sold between 1987 and 1990.

From 1991 to 1994, Honda made available the second generation that included the CBR600F2, which replaced the CBR600F and was considered one of the most modern and innovative sports bikes at the time.

The Honda CBR600F3 was the third generation of the CBR600F, manufactured from 1995 to 1998, which replaced the F2 model. The F3 machine featured a modified engine, ram-air intake system, and cartridge forks.

For the 1995 to 1996 machines, Honda revised the CDI ram-air system for a smoother throttle response. The 1997 and 1998 models came with a deeper oil pan, sleeker tail fairings, seat, and taillight, and a revised engine head that offered five hp more than the 1995 to1996 models.

The last 1998 models also came with a revised engine head that provided a small power increase, while in 1999, it was replaced by the Honda CBR600F4.

In the performance department, the 1995 Honda CBR600F3 took its muscles from a 598cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, fed by four Mikuni carburetors that helped deliver an output power of 100 hp with maximum strength at 12,000 rpm and 64 Nm (47 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,500 rpm.
