Positioned in MBK's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2009 MBK Skyliner 125 utilizes a 124.7 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.4 HP (8.3 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9 Nm (6.6 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 91.4 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 Skyliner 125 measures 137 kg (302 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.02 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 774 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 10.5-liter (2.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
