At the heart of the 2017 Honda RC213V-S sport motorcycle, Honda relies on a 999 cc (61 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 101 HP (73.7 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 90 Nm (66.4 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 101.1 HP per liter, 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 RC213V-S measures 172 kg (379 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.59 HP/kg (1.7 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,465 mm (57.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
