2011 Kymco Super 8 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2011 Kymco Super 8 125 scooter motorcycle, Kymco features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 9.4 HP (6.9 kW) at 7,500 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, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Super 8 125 measures 108 kg (238 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.49 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
