CB600F Hornet
Head-turning style and exhilarating performance come together in the CB600F Hornet like no other bike on the road.
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.
Fat, racy-looking tyres, a pointed dual headlight and cowl, and a slim seat rail that seems to hang in space over the rear tyre complete the Hornet’s look of aggressive intent, and assure you of the ride of your life every time you climb aboard.
