2006 Honda Paneuropean Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2006 Honda Paneuropean sport touring motorcycle, Honda utilizes a 1300 cc (79.3 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 124.7 HP (91 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 125 Nm (92.2 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 95.9 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 reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Paneuropean measures 287 kg (633 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.43 HP/kg (2.3 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 29-liter (7.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
