The Honda CB600F (known as the Hornet in Europe and Brazil and 599 in the U.S.) is a street motorcycle manufactured by Honda.[1][2][3] It is powered by a 599 cc (36.6 cu in) liquid-cooled inline-four engine, originally a detuned version of that in the Honda CBR600 sport bike, which currently produces around 102 bhp (76 kW). The 'Hornet' name was not taken to North America as AMC, and its successor, Chrysler, had trademarked the name with the AMC Hornet.
