1997 Cagiva N1 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Cagiva's naked motorcycle lineup, the 1997 Cagiva N1 pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15 HP (10.9 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 120 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 N1 measures 118 kg (260 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.87 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 725 mm (28.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops.
