Lean, mean and poised for new conquests, the startling new 2007 CB600F Honda Hornet stands the mid-displacement Performance Naked class on its head with riveting new looks, the blistering performance of a totally new engine and chassis, and an always thrilling blast of streetfighter riding enjoyment.

From nose to tail, every line and every component of the new hornet is totally new and totally geared to delivering an electrifying jolt of riding excitement. For those who’ll settle for nothing less than the coolest, most aggressive set of wheels they can throw a leg over, the new Hornet delivers up the goods with lighter construction, a hotter power-to-weight ratio, quicker, more responsive handling and a defiant look of pure ferocity. So let it be known: The original streetfighter is back on the streets.

The Hornets RR-based engine produces a distinctive blend of high-revving power and midrange punch in keeping with the Hornet’s mean streetfighter sensibilities. Further, carefully calculated reductions in weight and efforts made to centralise mass—as dynamically illustrated by its new low-mount exhaust system—pay off in both sharper, more responsive handling and a maximised power-to-weight ratio.

All this and more makes the new 2007 CB600F Honda Hornet the hottest performing and quickest handling middleweight Performance Naked on the streets of Europe.
