Engineered by Italika for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2020 Italika Modena 175 relies on a 168.9 cc (10.3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10 HP (7.3 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.3 Nm (7.6 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 59.2 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 prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Modena 175 measures 102 kg (225 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.2 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 6.5-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 105 km/h (65 mph).

Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
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.
