The power of Hornet
The CB600's engine is a technical masterpiece, which will physically delight you. It's a fine-tuned version of the very same 599cm3 powerplant that pushes the super racing CBR600F to its many victories.

It's an attitude thing
Although they are here to have fun, that doesn't stop the Hornet machines from keeping up with bigger bikes. In fact, the Hornet CB600 does more than that and will out-perform many with its mix of fine handling, sharp brakes and sports bike-sized rubber.

The top class Hornet
The Hornet with its youthful, street-style image, has become the top choice for riders looking for exceptional fun in large measure.

Worthy of praise
The crisp and agile Hornets have become so popular that they are in danger of becoming a cult. Worthy praise for a bike that is just that little bit different from the chasing pack.
