X-Eleven

2001 Honda X-Eleven Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Honda's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2001 Honda X-Eleven utilizes a 1137 cc (69.4 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 136 HP (99.3 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 113 Nm (83.3 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 119.6 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 X-Eleven measures 222 kg (489 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.61 HP/kg (1.63 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 22-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 242 km/h (150 mph).
