Hornet motorcycle models see their history and meaning
Named for its high and large rear end. At the end of 2004, Moto Honda da Amazônia began manufacturing and selling this model in Brazil. The version sold in Brazilian territory until April 2008 was the second generation model, while in Europe there was already the 4th generation, with a new engine. This is the current version manufactured and marketed in Brazil. Contrary to what many people think, the CB 600F Hornet is not the successor to the CB 500. Despite having similar displacements, they are completely different motorcycles. CB 600F inherited the engine from the CBR 600F / CBR600RR, which means it has an in-line 4-cylinder engine with 96/102 horsepower. The CB 500 has a two-cylinder engine that develops 54 hp. This means that the Vespa has almost twice the power of the CB 500, which in turn is a development of the CDB 400 and 450.
