Rumored 2008 Hornet




Proposed replacement to the 919.

I like it.

I don't like the headlight or the lightning bolt nonsense framing the radiator.

But overall I like the stance of the bike, and of course I like the name on the tank...

  1. It isn't a 919 replacement. It is a Hornet, a 599 sold in Europe.

  2. You know, you say that and I almost believe you. But then I see that the photo name itself says "Hornet 1000", and i confirm on other sites that this a rumored "Hornet 1000".

    True, the CB600F is marketed in Europe as a Hornet, and in the us as a "599". Just as the ST1300 is a "Pan European" in Europe and an ST1300 in the US.

    So I stand by my original assessment ... label it what you want, this looks like a 4-cylinder naked street bike in the liter-bike class, replacing the CB919 which disappeared from the lineup in the US this year.
