In 2013, at the EICMA Motorcycle Show, Honda launched the CB600F Hornet, which received several upgrades and revisions over the years, such as the 2007 model, powered by a detuned version of the engine used on the CBR600RR and the 2011 model that received a facelift.
For 2013, the Honda CB600F came with a new color, Matt White, and other features that enhanced its overall appearance, such as a sporty tail that enhanced its aerodynamic look, a sleek meter cover design that merged the instrument panel and headlight in a single unit, and a stylish integrated instrument panel that featured a high-tech LCD bar-graph tachometer, speedometer, dual trip meters, and a clock.
As for power, the 2013 Honda CB600F Hornet had its heartbeat set by a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that provided an output power of 102 hp with maximum strength at 12,000 rpm and 64 Nm (47 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,500 rpm.
With a dry weight of 173 kg (381 lbs) along with the power generated by the engine that was converted into speed by a six-speed manual transmission, the bike managed to reach a top speed of 224 kph (139 mph).
Also, the bike rolled on a set of five-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels shoded with Super Sport-derived tires that offered precise cornering control, topped by two 296 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front and a 250 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear that provided strong braking performance.
