At the heart of the 2006 Honda Dylan 125 scooter motorcycle, Honda pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13.5 HP (9.9 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.3 Nm (8.3 lb-ft) at 7,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 108 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (7,250 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), 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 Dylan 125 measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (8.89 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,330 mm (52.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
