Engineered by Lexmoto for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2016 Lexmoto Matador 125 features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.3 HP (6.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.2 Nm (6 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 66.4 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 Matador 125 measures 109 kg (240 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (13.13 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 1,293 mm (50.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 85 km/h (53 mph).
