599 is a naked f3/f4. Some stuff has older parts (i.e. shocks are f3 era if I remember) but in USA it is a 599 by name

In the fiche, it'll be listed as the 600F even though the engine block says 599cc. From what I understand, the reason the bikes are 599cc is because of tariffs. If the engines were actually 600cc, then there would be a higher tariff on the bike... or something like that. It would be interesting to know exactly why things are done this way.
