2005 Honda CB600F Hornet
Honda's original Wild Thing, the CB600F Hornet, is back for another year of
road-ripping riding excitement. With sharp looks and sexy styling highlighted by a
distinctive multi-reflector headlight and its comfortably contoured seat, the everpopular
Hornet lets the whole world know its loaded for high-spirited thrills and the
ultimate in riding fun. Offering one of the most impressive power-to-weight ratios in its
class, the Hornet's hard-revving DOHC inline-4 engine delivers an almighty blast of
midrange torque that pulls you out of corners and up to speed in a hurry. And with its
light and responsive handling and racer-look wheels and tyres, is it any wonder that the
Hornet has become one of Europe's best loved mid-sized smile machines?
