At the heart of the 2005 Malaguti Madison 400 scooter motorcycle, Malaguti pairs a 383 cc (23.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 30.8 HP (22.5 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 34 Nm (25.1 lb-ft) at 5,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 80.4 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (5,750 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
