CB600F is a Hornet with a 96bhp CBR engine whereas a CBF600 is a detuned, emasculated commuter bike. Both are IL4 engines and basically the same although the CBF600 has had the top-end chopped off the power curve to the tune of about 20bhp. It is also about 20kg heavier.

If it's a 600 then is probably the CBF600 as anyone who bought the Hornet wouldn't have brought it back (after any mileage) because they didn't like it

The CB500 is a different beast again, being a parallel twin. They are actually good fun to ride and handle well.

For your first bike you need to test ride a few and buy the one that suits you and your needs the best. Don't just go out and buy an SV650 because you post on here.
