At the heart of the 1972 Hodaka Wombat allround motorcycle, Hodaka relies on a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 125 HP (91.2 kW) at 8,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 1000 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Wombat measures 90 kg (198 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.39 HP/kg (0.72 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 866 mm (34.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3-liter (0.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.

Use this page to compare this motorcycle by its real specifications, not only by model name. Focus on the details that affect fit, comfort, handling, range and ownership.
Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
