Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2011 Honda Express – a compact powerhouse that embodies the spirit of practical urban commuting. Positioned in the allround motorcycle category, this model is the quintessential choice for riders seeking a nimble, lightweight vehicle that can weave effortlessly through city traffic. With its retro charm and vibrant color options – including Red, Yellow, Blue, and Black – the Honda Express is not just a mode of transport; it's a statement. Perfect for new riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike, this motorcycle promises a blend of fun and functionality, making it an ideal companion for short jaunts or leisurely rides. At the heart of the Honda Express lies a spirited 49.90cc in-line four, two-stroke engine, which produces a modest yet respectable 1.30 horsepower at 3,800 RPM. This lightweight machine is designed for agility rather than raw power, achieving a top speed of 48.3 km/h (30.0 mph). The carburettor fuel system and air cooling efficiency ensure a smooth ride while maintaining an impressive fuel consumption rate of just 1.81 litres per 100 km (or 129.96 mpg). Riders will find that the combination of its low weight (29.0 kg) and responsive suspension system allows for a delightful riding experience, whether navigating tight city streets or enjoying a leisurely countryside cruise. The 2011 Honda Express is adorned with features that enhance its practicality. With a compact fuel tank of 2.84 litres, this motorcycle is designed for efficiency rather than extensive range, making it perfect for urban dwellers. The foldable design allows for easy storage – shrinking down to less than 5 cubic feet when folded, making it an excellent choice for those with limited space. The kickstarter provides a traditional touch while ensuring reliability, and the shock absorber front and rear suspension adds comfort to your ride. With a seat height of 762 mm (30 inches), it caters to a range of riders, ensuring accessibility for all. **
