Built around AJS's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2011 AJS DD125E Mk2 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 DD125E Mk2 measures 145 kg (320 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (13.18 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
