Built around Malaguti's naked motorcycle platform, the 2007 Malaguti Drakon NKD 50 relies on a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 40.3 x 39.0 mm (1.6 x 1.5 inches) with a 12.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Drakon NKD 50 measures 112 kg (247 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,325 mm (52.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
