2017 Kymco Like 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Kymco for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2017 Kymco Like 125 relies on a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.4 HP (6.9 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 3.8 Nm (2.8 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 75.2 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Like 125 measures 110 kg (243 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.7 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,318 mm (51.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
