Engineered by Ecosse for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2011 Ecosse Spirit ES1 features a 1000 cc (61 cu in) v4, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 200 HP (146 kW) while maximum torque reaches 189.8 Nm (140 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 200 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Spirit ES1 measures 120.2 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.66 HP/kg (0.6 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,420 mm (55.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure.
