Honda CB 600 S Hornet weight overview
The bike falls into a normal middleweight range. At road speed the mass is usually less obvious; parking, slopes and walking-speed maneuvers are where you notice it most. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Honda CB 600 S Hornet weight FAQ
What is the Honda CB 600 S Hornet dry weight?
The available dry weight is 388 lb (176 kg) to 394.6 lb (179 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Is the Honda CB 600 S Hornet lighter or heavier than other Honda naked bikes?
Weight is broadly typical for the category, landing around the 49th percentile in this model-level Honda comparison.
Which Honda CB 600 S Hornet years have different weight specs?
The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 2000-2001 model years. Use the year-specific changes section above for the exact value attached to each changed year.
How much does a full tank add to the Honda CB 600 S Hornet?
Based on the supplied 4.23 US gal (16 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 26.3 lb (11.9 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Honda CB 600 S Hornet and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 571.3 lb (259.1 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Honda CB 600 S Hornet power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 24.83 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower. That places it around the 79th percentile within the compatible Honda naked bike power-to-weight comparison.
Is the listed Honda CB 600 S Hornet weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 414.3 lb (187.9 kg) to 420.9 lb (190.9 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
What does the Honda CB 600 S Hornet weigh with a full tank?
Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 414.3 lb (187.9 kg) to 420.9 lb (190.9 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.
How much torque does the Honda CB 600 S Hornet have per 100 lb?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 12.52 lb-ft per 100 lb to 12.74 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition.
