KEY FEATURES:
Raw power
The Hornet CB900F has a formidable powerplant. Derived from the legendary 1998 CBR900RR FireBlade, the Hornet's engine has been specially modified for 'naked' use. With more emphasis on its feeling of acceleration and low-to-mid-range grunt rather than the traditional high-revving performance demanded by an all-out Super Sports machine.
Mono-backbone frame
A design feature of the Hornet CB900F's frame is its emphasis on 'feel'. Rather than being designed to convey a feeling of silky-smooth operation, the frame is tuned to emphasise the engine's sensations of sound, rhythm and power.
Sturdy suspension
The high performance suspension system of the Hornet CB900F delivers a superb balance of roll and yaw characteristics. You can lean deep into corners confidently, learning from the feedback of the direct handling.
Comfortable control
Featuring a similar seat height to that of the Hornet CB600, the Hornet CB900F's riding position is as comfortable and easy-going as its performance is thrilling.
The Hornet image
The Hornet CB900F features the trademarks of a narrow waist and muscularly curvaceous fuel tank. Its sleek aero tail now fans out to encompass a set of menacing, dual 'under seat' exhaust silencers. This combination of slim proportions and dual shotgun pipes strongly emphasises the Hornet
CB900F's high performance potential.
The new 2004 Hornet CB900F is a light and powerful 'super naked' machine, with breathtaking yet effortless performance.
