CB Unicorn

2011 Honda CB Unicorn Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2011 Honda CB Unicorn sport motorcycle, Honda relies on a 149.1 cc (9.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13.3 HP (9.7 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 89.2 HP per liter, 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 Unicorn measures 146 kg (322 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.98 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 792 mm (31.2 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,340 mm (52.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.67 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 778 km (483 miles) between fill-ups.
