At the heart of the 2009 Aprilia Scarabeo 125 scooter motorcycle, Aprilia utilizes a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15 HP (10.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 12 Nm (8.9 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 121 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Scarabeo 125 measures 154 kg (340 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.27 kg per horsepower). The 9.5-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
