2011 Honda VTR B-Style Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's naked motorcycle platform, the 2011 Honda VTR B-Style features a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 29.5 HP (21.5 kW) at 10,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 118.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,500 rpm) and peak power (10,500 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 VTR B-Style measures 174 kg (384 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.9 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
