2023 Kawasaki Rouser NS125 Fi Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Kawasaki for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2023 Kawasaki Rouser NS125 Fi pairs a 124.4 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12 HP (8.8 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.8 Nm (8 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 96.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 Rouser NS125 Fi measures 125 kg (276 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.42 kg per horsepower). The 10.5-liter (2.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
