In factory specification, peak output is rated at 7.5 HP (5.5 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 77.2 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,230 mm (48.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
