Engineered by Daelim for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2004 Daelim Daystar VL 125 L relies on a 124.1 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13.2 HP (9.6 kW). With a specific output of 106.4 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 Daystar VL 125 L measures 160 kg (353 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.12 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,505 mm (59.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.3-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
