Positioned in Honda's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Honda CB Twister relies on a 109 cc (6.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9 HP (6.6 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9 Nm (6.6 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 82.6 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 CB Twister measures 108 kg (238 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,262 mm (49.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.54 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 519 km (322 miles) between fill-ups.

Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
