Positioned in MH's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2017 MH NK3 125 features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10 Nm (7.4 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 88 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 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 NK3 125 measures 134 kg (295 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.18 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,355 mm (53.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
