2006 Honda Deauville Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2006 Honda Deauville touring motorcycle, Honda features a 680 cc (41.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 64.8 HP (47.3 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 66.2 Nm (48.8 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 95.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Deauville measures 236 kg (520 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.27 HP/kg (3.64 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,476 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19.7-liter (5.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
