Engineered by Honda for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2006 Honda Helix features a 244 cc (14.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.7 x 60.0 mm (2.9 x 2.4 inches) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Helix measures 158.5 kg (349 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 665 mm (26.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,621 mm (63.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12.11-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
