Built around Honda's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2006 Honda Today features a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.8 HP (2.7 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.6 Nm (2.7 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 76 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 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 Today measures 75 kg (165 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 695 mm (27.4 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,180 mm (46.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 1.54 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 325 km (202 miles) between fill-ups.
Within MotoLibrary's Honda archive, this model family spans 4 indexed model years from 2006 to 2017, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
