Engineered by acabion for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2007 acabion gtbo 55 utilizes a 1300 cc (79.3 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 541.8 HP (395.5 kW) at 9,300 rpm while maximum torque reaches 420 Nm (309.8 lb-ft) at 6,900 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 416.8 HP per liter and a 2,400 rpm working window between peak torque (6,900 rpm) and peak power (9,300 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the gtbo 55 measures 360 kg (794 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.51 HP/kg (0.66 kg per horsepower).

Notes
Abicon says fuel consumption at 200 km/h is three times lower in comparison to a compact diesel car and at 400 km/h it is 10 times lower compared to a supersportscar. Even at 600 km/h the Acabion is still efficient, just that there is nothing comparable around on todays roads. An electric power system of 3 KW is used for short-range and slow operation like parking, private terrain, etc.
Use this page to compare this motorcycle by its real specifications, not only by model name. Focus on the details that affect fit, comfort, handling, range and ownership.
Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
