Most people enjoy the power, torque and speed of the liquid cooled 16-valve DOHC engine. This combination made the bike so famous that they produced it for twenty years without interruptions. The utility, manoeuvrability, power and looks in this model are at the perfect balance for most fans. Most riders define it as an upright touring that meets halfway with a racing crouch. One of the main characteristics of this model is the relaxed position when riding that makes it more comfortable than many others. In Europe and Brazil, people know this bike as Honda Hornet while in the United States it is famous by the name Honda 599. Also available as a more beefy and powerful 900 bike, there is no market that doesn´t feature it.
We see this lightweight power horse in the streets as a working tool in its 600 version. The original motorbike went through major makeovers three times in 2000, then 2003 and also in 2007. There is no exact number as of how many units Honda sold of this model worldwide, but the estimate is millions. This bike has been around the world since its introduction in the late nineties. Perhaps the Honda Hornet 600 is the most well-known incarnation of these four inline Honda best seller.
