Positioned in Derbi's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Derbi Mulhacen Cafe 659 pairs a 659 cc (40.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 84.0 mm (3.9 x 3.3 inches).
On the scales, the Mulhacen Cafe 659 measures 164 kg (362 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,390 mm (54.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
