Engineered by MBK for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2009 MBK Cityliner 125 features a 124.7 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.4 HP (10.5 kW) at 8,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.7 Nm (8.6 lb-ft) at 8,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 115.5 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Cityliner 125 measures 167 kg (368 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.6 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,455 mm (57.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 10.5-liter (2.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
