honda cb 600

[matt0205]

just been looking and websites say they have 95hp is this true cause i thought they would be the same as a sv 650.
are cbs any good for a first big bike then. what r they like for all other perfomance figures

cb600? you mean the cb600f, the hornet?

If so, much quicker than the sv650 in all situations. Having owned both, the hornet is well quicker but lack of a fairing can be a downside when trying a top speed run.

Only real downside is the tank range. It's a bit crap. The sv650 will get 60 more miles to the tank.

I'm selling my cb600f, yours for £1300 with no mot

If its not the hornet and its some other bike with the same engine, then yeah they make about 87bhp as standard I believe or thereabouts. A good 20bhp up on the Sv.

Hornet is quoted as having around 95bhp at the crank, this give you around 85 at the wheel. A little more than a sv, but on trck sv times are around 2 seconds quicker than a hornet. THe hornet is quoted as weighing 185kg dry. Little heaver than a sv, but a chunk lighter than a blandit.
I got around 130 to a tank on my hornet, although i tended to fill it up after 100.
My hornet was my first bike, i've done shed loads of miles on it, as well as a pile of track days. I dont know what you mean by other specs.
Instigator i might be interesting in your hornet.
