Built around Hyosung's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2009 Hyosung MS3 125 relies on a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13 HP (9.5 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 104.8 HP per liter, 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 MS3 125 measures 166 kg (366 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.77 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,451 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
