Positioned in Daelim's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2004 Daelim NS 125 DLX relies on a 124.9 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.3 HP (9 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 98.5 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 NS 125 DLX measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.76 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 750 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 350 km (217 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 106 km/h (66 mph).
