Positioned in Gilera's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 1988 Gilera XR1-125 utilizes a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22.7 HP (16.6 kW) at 9,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 183.1 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the XR1-125 measures 141 kg (311 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.21 kg per horsepower). The 22-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 423 km (263 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 135 km/h (84 mph).
