At the heart of the 2010 Kymco Sting 50 scooter motorcycle, Kymco utilizes a 49.4 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 1.5 HP (1.1 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 2.5 Nm (1.8 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.4 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches) with a 8.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Sting 50 measures 97.1 kg (214 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 828 mm (32.6 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 5.3-liter (1.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.7 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 196 km (122 miles) between fill-ups.

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.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
