Engineered by Amazonas for the touring motorcycle segment, the 1986 Amazonas A.M.E - Amazonas 1600 cc relies on a 1600 cc (97.6 cu in) air-cooled four cylinder boxer, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 56 HP (40.9 kW) at 4,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at 3,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 35 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (3,000 rpm) and peak power (4,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the A.M.E - Amazonas 1600 cc measures 512 kg (1129 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.14 kg per horsepower). The 40-liter (10.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 9 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 444 km (276 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 160 km/h (99 mph).

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.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
