Built around Honda's minibike, sport motorcycle platform, the 2006 Honda Gorilla features a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.1 HP (2.2 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.1 Nm (2.3 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 62 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 Gorilla measures 67 kg (148 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 895 mm (35.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
