HONDA CBR 600 F




The Honda CBR600F, known as the 'Hurricane' in the US market, is a sports motorcycle made from 1987-2006 by Honda. It was Honda's first inline  4-line,filly faired sportbike. It has a liquid cooled 85 hp (63 kW) DOHC 16-valve inline 4, and a 6-speed transmission. The Honda Hurricane was introduced as the newest style of sportbike, its smooth body lines were complemented by its angular form, providing the Hurricane with some of the best aerodynamic properties of its time, and it changed the way sportbikes were built. The Hurricane was also the first 0.6L sport bike to cross a quarter mile in under 12 seconds (11.23 second 1/4 mile), and with all 85 horsepower (63 kW) screaming away at 11,000 rpm (max rpm of 12,000) the Honda Hurricane was one of the most intense sport motorcycles of its time. CBR600's have been built in its fairing-clad sleek image ever since.
Often the naming of the CBR600F series can be followed by a letter which designates the year of fabrication(e.g. CBR600F-T for a 1996 CBR600F3).
