At the heart of the 2004 Hero Honda CBZ naked motorcycle, Hero Honda relies on a 156.8 cc (9.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17.2 HP (12.5 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 109.7 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the CBZ measures 148 kg (326 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.6 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,335 mm (52.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 100 km/h (62 mph).
