2009 Model Honda CB600F Hornet

2009 Hornet CB600F in Pearl Cool White :

In the 2009 CB600F, the original streetfighter is back – strong, sultry and seductive as ever, still master of its territory, and more ready than ever to conquer new ones.

Without straying too far from the basic elements that built its remarkable popularity, the 2009 CB600F improves even further on the 2007 model’s ride comfort, performance, controllability and ownership pleasure. Again, Honda has been guided by rider and customer feedback and made changes only where necessary, in order to maintain the motorcycle’s near-perfect balance of power, build quality and value for money. The carefully chosen improvements include new adjustable suspension, chic styling updates including black metallic parts, a new meter panel and a brand new and exciting colour range to reflect its ever-widening appeal.
