2006 Honda 919 Street Bike

The 919 is performance motorcycling with its sleeves rolled up, a pared-down, lightweight package ready for any kind of riding you like.

• Muscular 919cc open-class engine--inspired by the legendary CBR(R)900RR--pounds out impressive torque and surprising top-end horsepower.
• A feathery, 428-pound dry weight makes the 919 the lightest bike in its class.
• The comfortable, upright seating position is ideal for commuting, sport riding and long trips.
• Honda's latest programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) and electronic digital ignition maximize power output and offer immediate throttle response.
• Stylish, dual center-up exhausts exit below the rear cowl.
• Massive square-tube mono-backbone frame and a large aluminum swing arm combine to provide an ideal balance of rigidity and flexibility for superb road feel.
• 43mm adjustable cartridge front fork, single-shock rear suspension and lightweight cast aluminum three-spoke wheels contribute to exceptional handling.
• Compact 919cc DOHC liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine is tuned for low-end and mid-range power for spirited acceleration.
• One-piece upper crankcase/cylinder assembly, right-side cam-drive design and a narrow, 32 degree included valve angle help make the 919 engine the lightest, most compact power plant in its class.
• Sixteen-valve cylinder head with a 10.8:1 compression ratio promotes efficient combustion and high horsepower production.
• Direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation system is compact, ensures high-rpm durability and allows 16,000-mile valve maintenance intervals.
• High-pressure programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) delivers fuel at 50 psi to four injectors, each mounted in a 36mm throttle body. Fuel is delivered through four laser-drilled nozzle holes in each injector, producing a highly atomized air/fuel charge for maximum combustion efficiency and power.
• Liquid-cooled oil cooler and a lightweight aluminum radiator keep engine temperatures in check for consistent performance and long engine life.
• Spring-loaded scissors-type gear on the drive side of the crankshaft and a rubber-mounted, floating clutch-cover help reduce noise.
• Weight-saving features include a compact, lightweight one-piece alternator.
• A single box-section down tube reaches down to a unique front engine-mount that incorporates a cross-member to link the frame to the engine's solid front mounts.
• Lightweight aluminum swing arm features a large one-piece cast pivot block and extruded triple-box-section spars.
• The manufacturers suggested retail price is $8,399.
