At the heart of the 2013 Honda PCX125 scooter motorcycle, Honda relies on a 124.9 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.2 HP (8.2 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.6 Nm (8.5 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 89.7 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the PCX125 measures 124.4 kg (274 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.11 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 761 mm (30 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,306 mm (51.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.2-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
