2012 Kymco Super 8 150 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Kymco's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Kymco Super 8 150 pairs a 149.7 cc (9.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. 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 62.8 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 8 150 measures 117 kg (258 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.45 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 787 mm (31 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,364 mm (53.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
