Derived from the Fireblade, its 998cc inline-four produces 152cv, and it serves as the successor to the storied CB600F. Launch is expected in Q1 2026, with a full suite of electronics including riding modes and a bidirectional quickshifter.

A Hornet packing an inline-4 descended from the Fireblade is coming to Brazil — this spec gives me chills. Reviving 152hp of four cylinders as the modern successor to the CB600F is irresistible for anyone who knows the old lineage. A bidirectional quickshifter on top, with electronics that don't cut corners either. This is a bike I want to savor down to the bone.

Being the CB600F's successor means there's been a pretty long gap since the current model.

A bidirectional quickshifter as standard is a fairly luxurious feature for this class.

With this much as standard equipment, depending on the price when it's announced, it could really land.

With this level of electronics at this displacement, it looks set to really shake up the local naked-bike market.

Being called the CB600F's successor carries genuine nostalgia for that generation.

A Fireblade-derived 998cc inline-4 at 152cv landing in Brazil — that gets the blood pumping.
