Built around Daelim's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2017 Daelim Daystar 125 pairs a 124.1 cc (7.6 cu in) oil & air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.7 HP (9.3 kW) at 9,700 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 102.3 HP per liter and a 2,200 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,700 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 Daystar 125 measures 154 kg (340 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.13 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 720 mm (28.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 16.8-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 140 km/h (87 mph).
