　　The Honda CB600S Hornet was a sport-touring motorcycle introduced in 1998, part of the CB series in Honda's range of motorcycles, and basically a 600F Hornet with an additional front cowl and a small windscreen.

　　In 1998, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB600S Hornet, which delivered comfortable riding with its upright seating position and wide handlebar. The bike also featured low maintenance requirements and fuel efficiency, which made it a popular choice for riders of all levels.

　　In addition, the CB600S Horned came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as a half-fairing with a small windscreen, an under-belly exhaust system with the mufflers mounted under the seat, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a wide handlebar, and cast aluminum wheels.

　　For Suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable monoshock on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling, while the braking performance was achieved by two 296 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front wheel and one 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

　　In the performance department, the 1998 Honda CB600S Hornet had at its core a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fitted with four carburetors and delivered an output power of 98 hp with maximum strength at 12,000 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,000 rpm.

　　The bike’s 198 kg (456 lbs) wet weight, combined with a six-speed manual transmission and the power generated by the engine, resulted in a top speed of 227 kph (141 mph).
