Positioned in Kawasaki's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Kawasaki D-Tracker 125 features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.2 HP (7.4 kW) at 10,300 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 81.6 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the D-Tracker 125 measures 114 kg (251 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.18 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,255 mm (49.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
