For 2000 the naked Hornet swapped its 16-inch front wheel for a 17-inch rim, opening up a far wider choice of sports tyres, and picked up small styling tweaks and strengthened front braking. The carburetted CBR600F-derived engine and steel backbone chassis were carried over. The same year Honda added the half-faired Hornet S alongside it.
