FTR

2013 Honda FTR Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's allround motorcycle platform, the 2013 Honda FTR features a 223 cc (13.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 21.5 HP (15.7 kW) at 7,500 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 96.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 FTR measures 128 kg (282 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.95 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 7.2-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
