V-Twin Magna

2006 Honda V-Twin Magna Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Honda for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2006 Honda V-Twin Magna pairs a 229 cc (14 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 26.8 HP (19.6 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 117 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (10,000 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 V-Twin Magna measures 184 kg (406 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.87 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 755 mm (29.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,620 mm (63.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 36 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 31 km (19 miles) between fill-ups.
