600CC ----) CC = Cubic Centimeter

kind of like on american muscle cars, 305CI ---) CI = Cubic Inch.

or if you go by the metric system, where say a 2004 Silverado Diesel has the 6.5L turbo diesel, this is 6500CC. a 600CC motorcycle is .6L, a 1000CC R1, GSXR1000, CBR1000.. these are 1L bikes, the Hayabusa is a 1.3L, the ZX12R is a 1.2L... if this helps... its kind of hard to determine what kind of horsepower the motorcycle´s put out, because you cannot just go on the size, bore & stroke.. you have to determine in the size of the sprockets also, (rear sprockets)smaller = more hp, smaller = lower hp, higher torque.. front are opposite...
