2012 Lambretta LN125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2012 Lambretta LN125 scooter motorcycle, Lambretta relies on a 124.6 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.7 HP (6.4 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.3 Nm (6.1 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 69.8 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 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 LN125 measures 111 kg (245 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.76 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
