1999 MuZ Baghira Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in MuZ's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 1999 MuZ Baghira utilizes a 659 cc (40.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 50 HP (36.5 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 57 Nm (42 lb-ft) at 5,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 75.9 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (5,250 rpm) and peak power (6,500 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 Baghira measures 181 kg (399 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.28 HP/kg (3.62 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 940 mm (37 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,530 mm (60.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.1 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 205 km (127 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 154 km/h (96 mph).
