Engineered by Hyosung for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2001 Hyosung Classic pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.3 HP (10.4 kW) at 8,600 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 7,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 114.4 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,600 rpm) and peak power (8,600 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 Classic measures 141 kg (311 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.86 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 718 mm (28.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,385 mm (54.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14.5-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 105 km/h (65 mph).
