Built around Diamo's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2008 Diamo Turista 300 utilizes a 299 cc (18.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18.4 HP (13.4 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 61.5 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Turista 300 measures 167.8 kg (370 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.12 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 737 mm (29 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,549 mm (61 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 10.97-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.01 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 364 km (226 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 129 km/h (80 mph).
