Honda CB900F Hornet diperkenalkan pada tahun 2002 sebagai saudara yang lebih besar dari CB600F Hornet yang populer, didukung oleh versi detuned dari mesin CBR900RR Fireblade. Ini dirancang sebagai streetfighter telanjang yang menawarkan kinerja kelas menengah yang kuat dan kegunaan sehari-hari, dengan cepat menjadi populer di Eropa sebagai kelas menengah yang dapat diakses pelajar (di beberapa pasar) namun menarik.

Apa yang Harus Diketahui Pembeli
Bulletproof CBR Engine
The Hornet 900 uses Honda's proven CBR900RR Fireblade engine, known for exceptional longevity often exceeding 100,000km with basic maintenance. It's one of the most reliable naked bike powerplants ever produced.
Watch the Cam Chain
A known weak point is cam chain tensioner wear, which causes a rattling noise on cold starts — listen carefully before buying. It's a relatively affordable fix but indicates whether the bike has been properly maintained.
Strong Resale Value
The Hornet 900 holds its value unusually well for a mid-2000s naked bike due to its cult following and limited production numbers. A clean, low-mileage example consistently commands a premium in the used market.
Generasi & Spesifikasi berdasarkan Tahun
CB900F Hornet asli diluncurkan dengan mesin inline-four 919cc, rangka baja tubular, gaya streetfighter telanjang.
"Mesin CBR900RR dalam setelan telanjang — jenius murni."
Honda mengambil motor 919cc Fireblade, mengikatnya ke rangka telanjang baja tubular, dan entah bagaimana membuatnya lebih menyenangkan untuk dikendarai daripada superbike asalnya. Di bawah 5.000 rpm, cukup patuh untuk perjalanan sehari-hari, tetapi memecahkan throttle melewati 7.000 dan benar-benar menjerit ke garis merah 9.500 rpm — lolongan inline-four itu tidak pernah menjadi tua. Kemudinya cepat dan menginspirasi kepercayaan diri, meskipun suspensi standarnya kurang teredam dan berkubang dengan buruk jika Anda mendorong dengan keras ke tikungan; penggantian oli garpu yang layak dan peningkatan kejut belakang mengubahnya. Satu-satunya keluhan nyata saya setelah dua tahun berkendara setiap hari adalah rem belakang grab-and-release dan fakta bahwa perlindungan angin pada dasarnya nol di atas 140 km/jam - dada Anda menjadi layar.

Kekurangan
Body yang direvisi, instrumentasi yang diperbarui, skema warna baru, penyesuaian ergonomis kecil, sebagian besar tidak berubah secara mekanis.
"Masih telanjang paling tajam yang bisa Anda gunakan."
Motor 919 adalah alasan sebenarnya untuk memiliki motor ini — ia menarik dengan keras dari 4.000 rpm dan benar-benar menyanyi melewati 7.000, dengan presisi mekanis klasik Honda inline-four yang membuat pesaing yang lebih murah merasa pertanian. Saya berlari melewati dua musim dingin dan beberapa hari lintasan, dan sasis tidak pernah terasa seperti mata rantai terlemah; ia mengemudi dengan cepat untuk telanjang dan menahan garisnya di bawah pengereman keras lebih baik daripada yang disarankan bobotnya 202 kg. Pembaruan tahun 2006 membawa dasbor yang lebih bersih dan bar yang sedikit dibentuk kembali yang menghilangkan kelelahan pergelangan tangan dari tugas panjang di jalan raya, meskipun 'kenyamanan turing' masih belum ada dalam kosakata motor ini di luar 200 km. Sejujurnya, kritik terbesar adalah bahwa Honda memainkannya terlalu aman — suspensinya lunak, remnya terasa kayu dibandingkan dengan saingan Italia kontemporer, dan pembaruan gaya sangat halus sehingga kebanyakan orang tidak dapat membedakan Gen 2 dari Gen 1 tanpa memeriksa VIN.

Ulasan Pembeli Bekas
"A brilliant all-rounder that rewards buyers who choose carefully."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe Hornet 900 is one of Honda's genuinely underrated machines — a naked bike built around the CBR900RR Fireblade engine that delivers serious performance without the screaming price tags of its sportier sibling. That inline-four pulls hard from about 4,000rpm and just keeps building to a howling 9,500rpm redline. It's genuinely addictive, and the chassis keeps up without drama. Buying used, you need to check a few things carefully. These bikes attract thrashers who rode them hard and serviced them never. Pull the fairings and inspect the frame for crash damage — even minor lowsides leave marks. Cam chain tensioners can rattle if neglected, so listen carefully at idle. Throttle bodies need periodic balancing, and a mismatched idle usually means the previous owner ignored that. Good examples are genuinely brilliant — comfortable enough for touring, fast enough to embarrass sportbikes, and Honda-reliable when maintained properly. Bad examples will drain your wallet fast. Spend the extra $500 on a clean one rather than rescuing a project.
