Engineered by Honda for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2013 Honda VT750S features a 745 cc (45.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 43.2 HP (31.5 kW) at 5,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 62 Nm (45.7 lb-ft) at 3,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 58 HP per liter and a 2,250 rpm working window between peak torque (3,250 rpm) and peak power (5,500 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the VT750S measures 232 kg (511 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.37 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 750 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,560 mm (61.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 10.7-liter (2.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
