Honda’s CB600F was never the pinnacle of Honda’s racing heritage. Though at one point, the Hornet utilized Big Red’s CBR600RR inline-four, the detuned version only produced 94 horsepower (compared to the supersport’s 102 horsepower). The model remains an iconic entry in Honda’s catalog nonetheless.
Even further down the racing ranks, you have the Piaggio Ape. Introduced in 1948 as a cheap form of transportation in Post-War Europe, the three-wheeler functioned as a commercial vehicle. If there’s any doubt about the Ape’s performance prospects, look no further than the model’s available displacements.
