At the heart of the 2007 Honda CB 600 F Hornet sport motorcycle, Honda features a 600 cc (36.6 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 102 HP (74.5 kW) at 12,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 63.5 Nm (46.8 lb-ft) at 10,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 170 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (10,500 rpm) and peak power (12,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the CB 600 F Hornet measures 173 kg (381 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.59 HP/kg (1.7 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
