The Honda CB600S Hornet was a half-naked motorcycle first introduced in 1998 and manufactured until 2003, with the same visual and technical specifications as the CB600F Hornet but with an additional front cowl and a small windscreen.
The bike delivered a comfortable riding experience with its upright seating position and wide handlebar. It also featured low maintenance requirements and fuel efficiency, which made it a popular choice for riders of all levels.
In 2002, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda CB600S Hornet, a standard, sport-touring motorcycle in its fifth year of production that didn't feature any significant changes over the years.
In addition, the 2002 machine came fitted with standard features that included a half-fairing with a small windscreen, an under-belly exhaust system with the mufflers mounted under the seat, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a wide handlebar, and cast aluminum wheels.
As for the power figures, the 2002 Honda CB600S Hornet was set in motion by a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fitted with four carburetors and delivered an output power of 98 hp with maximum strength at 12,000 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,000 rpm.
For Suspension, the bike packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable monoshock on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling, while the braking performance was achieved by two 296 mm discs with two-piston calipers on the front wheel and one 220 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
