At the heart of the 2008 AJS Regal-Raptor 125 Silverhawk custom - cruiser motorcycle, AJS features a 124.6 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. 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 Regal-Raptor 125 Silverhawk measures 160 kg (353 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.55 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 686 mm (27 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,549 mm (61 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
