2006 Honda XR 50 Motard Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Honda's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Honda XR 50 Motard utilizes a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 3.2 HP (2.3 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.2 Nm (2.4 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 64 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the XR 50 Motard measures 83 kg (183 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,235 mm (48.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
