Positioned in Bajaj's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2002 Bajaj Legend utilizes a 145.5 cc (8.9 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9 HP (6.6 kW) at 6,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.8 Nm (8 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 61.9 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (3,500 rpm) and peak power (6,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Legend measures 115 kg (254 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.78 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 762 mm (30 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 5-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.35 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 213 km (132 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 89 km/h (55 mph).
