2017 Honda Aviator Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2017 Honda Aviator features a 109.1 cc (6.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8 HP (5.8 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.7 Nm (6.4 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 73.3 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 Aviator measures 105 kg (231 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (13.13 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,256 mm (49.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 83 km/h (52 mph).
