Engineered by Honda for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2015 Honda Benly utilizes a 49 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.8 HP (2.7 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.5 Nm (2.6 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 44.0 x 41.0 mm (1.7 x 1.6 inches) with a 10.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Benly measures 105 kg (231 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 710 mm (28 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,280 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.52 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 658 km (409 miles) between fill-ups.
