The '''[[Honda]] CB 600S Hornet''' was a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, transverse four cylinder, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder Naked [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Honda]] between 1998 and 2003. Max [[torque]] was 47.94 ft/lbs (65.0 Nm) @ 10000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 96.96 HP (72.3 KW) @ 12000 RPM.  It could reach a top speed of 229.8 km/h. 


The major practical failing of Honda's [[Honda CB600F|original Hornet]]
It could reach a top speed of 229.8 km/h.
compared with its main competitors was the lack of any wind- or
weather-protection on longer trips. Honda's answer was the Hornet'S',
launched two years after the base bike. A small bikini fairing gave the
Hornet'S' the long-distance capability it had lacked before. Year-round
commuters and occasional tourers benefited from the higher top speeds and
relaxed progress made possible by the screen, although many considered the
naked bike the more stylish version. Honda also changed the front wheel size
for this model year to a 43cm (17in) part. This allowed much wider tire
choice for the Hornet, and also applied to the unfaired bike from 2000
onwards.
