HONDACB600F Hornet 2003 - 2004

　　In 2004, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB600F Hornet, a standard or naked motorcycle part of the CB series, built in 1998 and powered by a detuned 599cc version of the engine used by the CBR600 sports bike.

　　In 2000, the CB400F got its first update, which included the front wheel enhanced from 16-inch to 17-inch for better corner stability and increased the strength of the front brake pass-over, which resulted in stronger brakes.

　　Later in 2003, the bike featured a makeover that included a larger fuel tank with a capacity of 17-liter instead of the earlier 16-liter unit, but also a sharper styling.

　　The 2004 Honda CB600F didn't feature any changes and came as a nifty naked machine and a sporty commuter, powered by a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 98 hp at 12,000 rpm and 66 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,000 rpm.

　　The backbone steel frame carried the engine but also carried the 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a single shock absorber with preload adjustability on the rear that offered optimum suspension performance.

　　As for braking performance, the 2004 Honda CB600F Hornet packed two 296 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that offered strong braking performance.
