At the heart of the 2007 Honda Hornet 600 sport motorcycle, Honda relies on a 600 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 100.6 HP (73.4 kW) at 12,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 64 Nm (47.2 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 167.7 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.
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, combined with a 1,435 mm (56.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
