2004 Honda CBF 600 N Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Honda's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2004 Honda CBF 600 N pairs a 599.9 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 76.4 HP (55.8 kW) at 10,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 58 Nm (42.8 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 127.4 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (10,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the CBF 600 N measures 215 kg (474 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.36 HP/kg (2.81 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.48 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 424 km (263 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 200 km/h (124 mph).
