2001 Honda ST 1100 Pan-European Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Honda's touring motorcycle platform, the 2001 Honda ST 1100 Pan-European utilizes a 1085 cc (66.2 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 98 HP (71.5 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 109 Nm (80.4 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 90.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 ST 1100 Pan-European measures 325 kg (717 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.3 HP/kg (3.32 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,555 mm (61.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 28-liter (7.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 217 km/h (135 mph).
