Built around Cagiva's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 1992 Cagiva 125 W8 utilizes a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25 HP (18.2 kW) at 9,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 200 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the 125 W8 measures 130 kg (287 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.2 kg per horsepower). The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 130 km/h (81 mph).
