CB223S

2014 Honda CB223S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Honda for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2014 Honda CB223S utilizes a 223 cc (13.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16 HP (11.7 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 18 Nm (13.3 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 71.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 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 CB223S measures 135 kg (298 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.44 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,395 mm (54.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.44 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 451 km (280 miles) between fill-ups.
