Introduction

Heading the mid-displacement Naked class, the CBF600 is a tried and trusted companion for all kinds of riders and all kinds of riding. Its comfortable, ‘just fit’ proportions are evenly matched with strong performance, low emissions and crisp, sporty handling.

The seat and suspension systems are adjustable. Power delivery is seamless and braking is superbly smooth. All this is presented in a sleek and compact package with refreshingly basic styling and beautifully sculpted bodywork. High-powered, yet compact, friendly and easy to handle, the versatile CBF600N is a top Honda-quality celebration of the pure, undiluted pleasure that is classic Naked motorcycling.
