Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to intermediate and experienced riders who can manage a peaky inline-four with strong top-end power.
Purpose	Designed as a sporty naked for spirited backroad riding, commuting, and occasional trackday fun rather than long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	The moderate 800mm seat height and light 173kg dry weight make it manageable for most rider sizes, though the reach to the bars is sporty and can tire taller riders on long stints.
Character	A revvy, high-strung inline-four with a sharp chassis that rewards aggressive riding and quick direction changes.
Not Ideal For	Not ideal for riders seeking plush long-haul comfort, wind protection, or a relaxed upright touring stance.

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 800mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2008 Honda CB 600 F Hornet, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
