HONDA CB92 (1959-1960) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB92 was a motorcycle built by Honda from 1959 to 1965 powered by a parallel-twin engine while featuring design cues from the larger-displacement Honda C71, C76, C72, and C77 Dream series of motorcycles.

The bike featured a pressed-steel, fully welded frame design with the front end carrying the steering head and the rear end forming the deeply valenced mudguard. The front suspension was made of pressed steel and carried the front mudguard and the rear suspension featured fully enclosed telescopic dampers.

As for braking power, the bike packed a drum unit on the front wheel and another drum unit on the rear wheel, while the suspension was handled by a leading link type on the front and a swingarm with dual-shock absorbers on the rear end.

As for performance, the 1960 Honda CB92 was powered by a 124cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 12 hp with maximum strength at 10,500 rpm and 10 Nm (7 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,200 rpm.

The power generated by the engine was converted into speed by a four-speed manual transmission and sent to the rear wheel through a chain drive.

In essence, the highlights of the bike included a small windscreen, wide handlebars, a drum braking system both front and rear, a leading link front fork and dual shock absorbers on the rear as a suspension system, a chromed exhaust system, a one-piece dual seat, and a pressed steel frame.
