Birth of the Hornet … In 1998 The Hornet 600 appeared with the combination of 3 innovative features! High Impact Design Multi Purpose “Sports Commuter” Dynamic Performance “Direct from CBR” CONCEPT: Street Fighter with a High Impact Naked Design ●Dynamic Performance : Technology & Racing DNA for FUN Riding. ●High Impact Design : Cool style for “Pride of ownership”. ●Multi Purpose : Easy to use for customer satisfaction. Winning huge appreciation from many customers, the Hornet 600 created a new trend called “Performance Naked”.
Evolution of the Hornet 600 Maintaining the original concept, the Hornet has been continually evolving to exceed customers’ expectations.
