In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.9 HP (6.5 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.8 Nm (6.5 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed transmission, a multiplate wet clutch, cable/hydraulic operated clutch. Internal cylinder geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 53.5 x 55.5 mm (2.1 x 2.2 inches), a 9.2:1 compression ratio, 2 valves per cylinder. With a specific output of 71.2 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character indicates a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery across the rev range.
On the scales, the Lifan PK125M measures 101 kg (223 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.35 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and dimensional geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders (170–182 cm / 5'7"–6'0") without sacrificing cornering clearance and a 1,245 mm (49 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable turn-in geometry. The 3.5-liter (0.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated fuel consumption of 1.5 L/100 km (156.8 US mpg) provides an estimated theoretical touring range of roughly 233 km (145 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is rated at 93 km/h (58 mph).
