At the heart of the 2006 Honda Hornet 900 naked motorcycle, Honda utilizes a 919 cc (56.1 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 107.3 HP (78.3 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 91 Nm (67.1 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 116.8 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 Hornet 900 measures 194 kg (428 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.55 HP/kg (1.81 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,460 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
