Hi,
Great bike easy to ride and it's a Honda which means it won't give you any trouble go for it.
GOOD LUCK.

There is no such thing as a bike that is too powerfull or fast if you are a safe rider. I passed my test on a Honda 250 after 2 weeks then jumped straight up to a Norton Commando 850 after a month.No accidents!
However I did go on holiday for one week with a Police traffic cop who gave me the full police bike course which has stood me in good stead ever since.I keep the mental stuff for the race track.
Going from a 400 to a 600 will give you half as much power again as you already have which will be a nice jump which you will be surprised how quickly you get used to.rather than speed think of the increase in torque and better flexibility you will get from the engine.If you are concerned you might be driving too fast for your ability then realise your limitations and take some extra rider training or even do an IAM test and get cheaper insurance into the bargain

You will certainly notice the faster acceleration and extra power.
But, you will also notice the better brakes and sharper handling.
The Hornet is designed and built to be a good all-rounder - something that everyone can ride and enjoy, without feeling intimidated. It is tuned for midrange torque, rather than all out power, so it is more flexible in its driving manners. The upright riding position lets you know when you're riding fast and helps you to keep a perspective on your speed. It handles and brakes well, giving confidence in all road and weather conditions.
I think it would be a good choice. Enjoy!

It will naturally feel too powerful and fast to begin with, but you'll get used to it the more you ride. As it's a de-tuned cbr600 engine it is not as powerful as it could be, so you'll be fine.

With the throttle closed they both output the same amount of power.
Only open the throttle as far as you are capable of handling the bike.
Ride safe.
