Engineered by Honda for the sport touring motorcycle segment, the 2016 Honda VFR800X features a 782 cc (47.7 cu in) liquid-cooled v4, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 107 HP (78.1 kW) at 10,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 75.1 Nm (55.4 lb-ft) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 136.8 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (8,500 rpm) and peak power (10,250 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 VFR800X measures 242 kg (534 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.44 HP/kg (2.26 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20.8-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
