Positioned in Kymco's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2005 Kymco 125 Hipster 4V L-Bar relies on a 124.1 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.5 HP (9.1 kW) at 9,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.6 Nm (7.1 lb-ft) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 100.7 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (8,500 rpm) and peak power (9,750 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 125 Hipster 4V L-Bar measures 152.8 kg (337 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.22 kg per horsepower).
