2007 Kymco Super 8 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Kymco's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2007 Kymco Super 8 relies on a 49.5 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 4.8 HP (3.5 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 4.5 Nm (3.3 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive.
On the scales, the Super 8 measures 106 kg (234 lbs) dry. 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 1,315 mm (51.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.3 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 261 km (162 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 50 km/h (31 mph).
