Built around MotoCzysz's sport motorcycle platform, the 2010 MotoCzysz C1 990 utilizes a 990 cc (60.4 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 220 HP (160.6 kW) at 15,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 108.5 Nm (80 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 222.2 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the C1 990 measures 158 kg (348 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.39 HP/kg (0.72 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,420 mm (55.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.57-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
