HONDA  CB900F Hornet  £5999 Introduction Colours Specifications

Introduction The exciting Hornet 900 packs a mean punch that carries you swiftly into its world of exciting streetfighter style and performance. Its breathtaking surge of power ripples out of the same fuel-injected inline-4 engine originally developed for the legendary FireBlade, and has been specially tuned for stronger low-to-midrange grunt that lights up in an eye-opening flash from anywhere in its wide powerband. Handling is, like its looks, swift and agile thanks to its spare and strong Mono-Backbone frame, lightweight aluminium swingarm and Monoshock rear suspension, not to mention those big, racing class dual 4-pot front brakes to pull you down to cornering speeds in a hurry. The Hornet 900's fearsome aggressiveness is visually highlighted by its prominently positioned engine and the pair of big gun silencers positioned under its slim and sleek seat cowl. If the thrill of the ride sets your soul on fire, then count on the Hornet 900 to spark that flame. back to top Colours • Darkness Black Metallic • Digital Silver Metallic • Candy Glory Red back to top New Features • New colour variation. back to top Technical Specifications Engine Type Liquid-cooled 4-stroke 16-valve DOHC inline-4 Displacement 919cm 3 Bore x Stroke 71 x 58mm Compression Ratio 10.8 :1 Max Power Output 80kW/9,000min -1 (95/1/EC) Max Torque 91Nm/6,500min -1 (95/1/EC) Idling Speed 1,200min -1 Oil Capacity 4.4 litres Fuel System Carburation PGM-FI electronic fuel injection Throttle Bore 36mm Aircleaner Dry, cartridge-type paper filter Fuel Tank Capacity 19 litres (including 4-litre reserve) Electrical System Ignition System Computer-controlled digital transistorised with electronic advance Ignition Timing 8° BTDC (idle) ~ 38° BTDC (5,500min-1) Sparkplug Type CR8EH-9 (NGK); U24FER9 (ND) Starter Electric Battery Capacity 12V/10AH ACG Output 380W Headlight 12V 55W x 1 (low)/60W x 1 (high) Drivetrain Clutch Wet, multiplate with coil springs Clutch Operation Mechanical; cable-actuated Transmission Type 6-speed Primary Reduction 1.520 (76/50) Gear Ratios 1 2.769 (36/13) 2 2.000 (26/13) 3 1.600 (24/15) 4 1.368 (26/19) 5 1.227 (27/22) 6 1.130 (26/23) Final Reduction 2.688 (43/16) Final Drive O-ring sealed chain Frame Type Diamond; steel tube Chassis Dimensions (LxWxH) 2,125 x 750 x 1,085 mm Wheelbase 1,460 mm Caster Angle 25° Trail 98mm Turning Radius 2.8m Seat Height 795mm Ground Clearance 145mm Dry Weight 194kg Kerb Weight 218kg (F: 108kg; R: 110kg) Max.
