2009 Honda CBF600S ABS

Introduction

A trusted partner on all roads and in all weathers, the semi-naked CBF600S ABS is renowned for its ability to deliver comfort, performance and ease of handling in all kinds of situations. Its bursts of sporty acceleration are down to a compact fuel-injected engine based on the one powering the race-winning CBR600RR. Its wide powerband and generous fuel range guarantee pure, relaxing enjoyment, plus plenty of thrills to keep you entertained. The engine is housed in a lightweight and rigid die-cast aluminium frame that contributes to sharp and responsive handling. The adjustable seat and suspension are unique to the CBF600N and CBF600S ABS, and the seat’s, smooth and narrow shape provides superior comfort, especially for shorter riders. A beautifully integrated, frame-mounted cowl adds its own elegant and aerodynamic aspect to the bike’s styling. It also provides additional comfort and wind protection at higher speeds. Eager to tackle any task, and easily tailored to match your individual style, the CBF600S ABS transforms every ride into instant, instinctive fun.
