Built around Amazonas's touring motorcycle platform, the 2001 Amazonas 1600 utilizes a 1584 cc (96.7 cu in) four cylinder boxer, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 65 HP (47.4 kW) at 4,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 41 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the 1600 measures 360 kg (794 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.18 HP/kg (5.54 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 730 mm (28.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,745 mm (68.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 46-liter (12.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 145 km/h (90 mph).
