2008 Megelli 125 r Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2008 Megelli 125 r sport motorcycle, Megelli features a 124.1 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9 Nm (6.6 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 88.6 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 125 r measures 110 kg (243 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,349 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
