CB600F Hornet
As the undisputed pioneer of naked midsized performers, the Hornet has consistently set the standard for brazen streetfighter looks and blistering riding fun. Slimmer, lighter, more powerful and easier to ride than any other bike in its class, the Hornet gets its blast of performance from the same compact engine that powers the phenomenal CBR600RR to domination on track and street, yet tuned for stronger midrange acceleration that keeps the Hornet's excitement meter running high.
Lean, mean and scanning the scene for new conquests.
From nose to tail, every line and every component is totally new and totally geared to delivering an electrifying jolt of riding excitement.
Instrument Panel
With a hard-edged mechanical look derived directly from the CBR1000RR Fireblade, this fully electronic unit features a big, racy-looking centrally positioned analogue rev counter and a large digital LCD readout of vehicle speed, dual trip gauges, multi-segment fuel gauge and a clock.
Headlight
Uniquely styled new dual-bulb headlight features low beam and high beam positioned one over the other behind a protruding polycarbonate lens that accentuates this dynamic riding machine’s overall sense of excitement
Exhaust
The stunning looking low-slung exhaust system is positioned under the engine for enhanced mass centralisation and sharper handling, as well as a unique exhaust note.
New Tapered Aluminium Swingarm
The new Hornet features a newly designed tapered dual-box-section aluminium swingarm, which makes an important contribution to reduced unsprung weight while playing a key role in optimising the chassis’ overall balance of rigidity.
Wheels
New lightweight aluminium alloy 5-spoke wheels with high-speed rated tyres for top performance and dynamic looks.
Brakes
Up front, a pair of dual-piston front callipers grip wide 296mm drilled floating discs, and at the rear, a compact new single-piston calliper, like that used on the CBR600RR.
The all-new Hornet will also be available with the highly responsive braking capability of Honda’s most advanced Combined ABS brake system, providing reassuringly strong braking control and enhancing rider confidence.
Suspension
Up front, the big gold-anodised outer tubes of its 41mm inverted HMAS cartridge-type front fork exude a look of invincible control while compliantly soaking up the road’s rough spots with 120mm of smoothly damped wheel travel.
At the rear, a Monoshock damper takes up position between the swingarm and the rear frame to provide positive and progressive control for assured handling balanced with compliant comfort.
Tail
Seemingly hovering in space over Hornet’s fat rear tyre, the ultra-slim seat and tail cowl design minimises inertial weight. The brilliant LED taillight is integrated into the tail cowl and turn indicators feature smoked lenses with amber bulbs.
Engine
Based on and developed together with the innovative engine now powering the 2007 CBR600RR, the Hornet’s new powerplant is one of the shortest and more compact engines in its class. Featuring Honda’s most advanced PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system the new powerplant was specially tuned to combine strong midrange torque for faster acceleration out of the corners with a higher-revving top end.
