2010 Goes 520 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Goes for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2010 Goes 520 relies on a 493 cc (30.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 32.2 HP (23.5 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 36 Nm (26.6 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox. With a specific output of 65.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 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 520 measures 312 kg (688 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.69 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
