Totally redesigned to appeal to an even wider range of rider tastes and riding styles, the new 2010 CBF600 charges to the front of the mid-displacement Naked class with a compact and powerful new CBR600RRbased engine, an advanced new cast aluminium frame and lighter, more attractive styling that is certain to win fast new friends on every road it travels. Also featuring lighter weight, stronger performance with lower emissions and crisp, sporty handling, the all-new CBF600 gives riders new and old an invigorating new way to experience the limitless joys of motorcycle riding. When its debuted in 2004, the CBF600 ushered in a new standard of exhilarating and easily accessible midsized motorcycle riding enjoyment. Its sleekly attractive styling and new ‘Just Fit’ approach to maximised riding comfort, which features an innovative three-position height-adjustable seat, greatly enhances riding comfort and confidence for a wider range of riders. Designed to provide broadly satisfying performance combined with easy riding manners, the CBF600 appeals to both experienced riders looking for easy, versatile and dependable riding experience, and relative newcomers seeking a well-rounded step up in performance and excitement from the 125cc learners class.

Equipping the CBF600 with the most up-to-date technology was also a high priority, and for this the CBF’s development team turned to Honda’s recently released CBR600RR and CB600F Hornet. From these high-performance models, the CBF received a lighter and more compact new fuel-injected inline-four engine. This new engine was specially tuned for stronger and more accessible low-to-midrange performance that is easier for novice riders to enjoy with confident control, and experts to enjoy to the full. For a further contribution to lighter weight and smoother, easier handling, an all-new chassis were also needed, and for this the team turned to the aggressive CB600F Hornet, adapting its innovative cast aluminium Mono-Backbone frame to the CBF’s more relaxed style of riding enjoyment. In fact, while the CBF600’s crisp styling stays very close to its predecessor’s timeless design, virtually everything else about the new CBF is new, including such prominent features as: - A lighter, more compact and higher-revving new fuel-injected engine based on that developed for the 2007 CBR600RR and CB600F Hornet. - A new gravity die-cast (GDC) aluminium Mono-Backbone frame for lighter weight and sharper handling. - A 41mm cartridge-type front fork with adjustable preload. - A sleeker, lighter and faster-looking front cowl design for the half-faired CBF600S. - A new Combined-ABS version for the ultimate in braking control. - HISS immobiliser security system. - Full compliance with strict EURO-3 exhaust emissions regulations. - And more…
