Engineered by AJS for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2011 AJS JSM Motard 125 pairs a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.1 HP (7.3 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 81.5 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 JSM Motard 125 measures 123 kg (271 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.18 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 100 km/h (62 mph).
