2011 Benelli Caffenero 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Benelli for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2011 Benelli Caffenero 125 utilizes a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16.2 HP (11.8 kW) while maximum torque reaches 12.5 Nm (9.2 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 129.6 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 Caffenero 125 measures 130 kg (287 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.02 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.4-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
