Engineered by Honda for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2004 Honda 919 pairs a 919 cc (56.1 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 92 Nm (67.9 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 71.0 x 58.0 mm (2.8 x 2.3 inches) with a 10.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the 919 measures 218 kg (481 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,461 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18.92-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 235 km/h (146 mph).
Within MotoLibrary's Honda archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2004 to 2006, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
