Clear

the_planet Store Fun, competent, refreshing - Honda's new 599 is impressive! What you have here is the US version of Europe's best selling motorcycle, the Honda Hornet. New to the US, this model will be known as the 599 here. Beginning life as last years latest incarnation of the Hornet, the 599 is powered by an older CBR600F3 based engine. This 599cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve engine is fed by four 34mm (2mm smaller) CV flat-slide carburetors. In addition to the smaller bores, Honda has slightly narrowed the intake ports, lengthened the header pipes, provided for two ignition maps (one per two cylinders) and tweaked cam timing to provide for a stronger low and mid-range power delivery. Maximum horsepower is now 95 at 12,000 RPM, maximum torque is 46 lbs. Changes for 2004 include a larger and re-styled fuel tank, a new seat which positions the rider 15mm forward, revised spring and damping rates front and rear (more progressive), and wider 17" wheels (3.5" front / 5" rear) to allow more aggressive rubber to be mounted. 2004 Honda 599 - Specifications (CB600F) Engine Type: 599cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder Bore and Stroke: 65mm x 45.2mm Compression Ratio: 12.0:1 Valve Train: DOHC; four valves per cylinder Carburetion: Four 34mm slanted flat-slide CV Ignition: Computer-controlled digital transistorized with electronic advance Transmission: Six-speed Final Drive: #525 O-ring-sealed chain Suspension Front: 41mm cartridge fork; 4.3 inches travel Rear: Single shock with seven-position spring preload adjustability; 5.0 inches travel Brakes Front: Dual full-floating 296mm discs with twin-piston calipers Rear: Single 220mm disc with single-piston caliper Tires Front: 120/70ZR-17 radial Rear: 180/55ZR-17 radial Wheelbase: 55.9 inches Rake (Caster Angle): 25.0¡ Trail: 98mm (3.9 inches) Seat Height: 31.1 inches Dry Weight: 401 pounds Fuel Capacity: 4.5 gallons Colors: Asphalt or Yellow California version meets CARB 2004 emissions standards.
