Diesel - Taurus

2000 Enfield Diesel - Taurus Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Enfield for the classic motorcycle segment, the 2000 Enfield Diesel - Taurus pairs a 325 cc (19.8 cu in) engine architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 7 HP (5.1 kW) at 3,600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 15 Nm (11.1 lb-ft) at 2,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 21.5 HP per liter and a 1,100 rpm working window between peak torque (2,500 rpm) and peak power (3,600 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Diesel - Taurus measures 175 kg (386 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.04 HP/kg (25 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control.
