Built around Metisse's classic motorcycle platform, the 2016 Metisse MK 5 Street Scrambler pairs a 997 cc (60.8 cu in) twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 97 HP (70.8 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 94.9 Nm (70 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 97.3 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), 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 MK 5 Street Scrambler measures 187 kg (412 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.52 HP/kg (1.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
