HONDA CB92 (1960-1961) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1961, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB92, a bike built from 1959 until 1965, with design cues taken from the bigger displacement bike such as the Honda C71, C76, C72, and C77 Dream series, while the CB92 was powered by a parallel-twin engine.

The CB92 was built around a pressed-steel frame with a fully welded design, while the front featured the steering head and the rear formed the deeply valenced mudguard. As for suspension, on the front, the bike featured a leading link type pressed-steel unit that carried a mudguard and on the rear, it packed fully enclosed dual shock absorbers.

In the braking department, the stopping power was achieved by a drum unit mounted on the front wheel and another drum unit mounted on the rear wheel.

Also, the bike came equipped from the factory with a small windscreen, wide handlebars, a chromed exhaust system, a one-piece dual seat, and a center stand.

In the performance department, the 1961 Honda CB92 had its soul brought to life 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.

All the power generated by the engine was transferred to the rear wheel through a four-speed manual transmission and a chain final drive that pushed the bike to an estimated top speed of 120 kph (75 mph).
