Built around Curtiss's naked motorcycle platform, the 2020 Curtiss Warhawk pairs a 2163.2 cc (132 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 150 HP (109.5 kW) at 5,100 rpm while maximum torque reaches 217 Nm (160.1 lb-ft) at 2,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 69.3 HP per liter and a 3,100 rpm working window between peak torque (2,000 rpm) and peak power (5,100 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Warhawk measures 258.6 kg (570 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.58 HP/kg (1.72 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 749 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,588 mm (62.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 14.19-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 266 km/h (165 mph).
