At the heart of the 2013 Sonik Cafe Racer 400 naked motorcycle, Sonik relies on a 392 cc (23.9 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 35 HP (25.5 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 28 Nm (20.7 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 89.3 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
