At the heart of the 2011 Honda FTR 230 allround motorcycle, Honda pairs a 223 cc (13.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, 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. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 65.5 x 66.2 mm (2.6 x 2.6 inches) with a 9.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FTR 230 measures 128 kg (282 lbs) wet (curb). 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 7.2-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
