At the heart of the 2012 Cagiva Raptor 125 naked motorcycle, Cagiva utilizes a 124.6 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.1 HP (8.8 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 97.1 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), 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 Raptor 125 measures 127 kg (280 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.5 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 1,385 mm (54.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 120 km/h (75 mph).
