1999 Honda NT 650 V Deauville Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Honda for the touring motorcycle segment, the 1999 Honda NT 650 V Deauville features a 647 cc (39.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 54.4 HP (39.7 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 55 Nm (40.6 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 84.1 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 NT 650 V Deauville measures 244 kg (538 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.49 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 339 km (211 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 179 km/h (111 mph).
