Engineered by Motorhispania for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2012 Motorhispania KN1 125 pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15 HP (10.9 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 120 HP per liter, 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 KN1 125 measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (8 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,310 mm (51.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Motorhispania archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2010 to 2012, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
