Overview
The Honda CB600F Hornet 600 is a naked motorcycle produced from 2007 to 2013. The 2013 model uses a 599 cm³ liquid-cooled, four-stroke in-line four producing 98 hp (73 kW) and 63.5 Nm of torque; its dry weight is 172 kg.
The 800 mm seat height is a key part of the riding position, while the 172 kg dry weight gives an indication of what you will handle at low speed. Peak torque arrives at 10,500 rpm, so reaching the engine’s strongest pull means revving it; the rear shock’s seven-step preload adjustment lets you adapt the setup to different loads. The 2013 engine capacity is 599 cm³, compared with 600 cm³ in 2007.
