Ape 100

2006 Honda Ape 100 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2006 Honda Ape 100 sport motorcycle, Honda pairs a 99 cc (6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.6 HP (2.6 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.6 Nm (2.7 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 36.4 HP per liter and a 500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Ape 100 measures 87 kg (192 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 755 mm (29.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,190 mm (46.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.5-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
