Engineered by AJS for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2015 AJS Daytona 125 pairs a 124.6 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 kW) at 9,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 88.3 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Daytona 125 measures 191 kg (421 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.06 HP/kg (17.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 640 mm (25.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,650 mm (65 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
