At the heart of the 2008 MZ RT-Striker 125 naked motorcycle, MZ relies on a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.8 HP (10.8 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.7 Nm (8.6 lb-ft) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 119.4 HP per liter and a 500 rpm working window between peak torque (8,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 RT-Striker 125 measures 133 kg (293 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (8.99 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 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 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 108 km/h (67 mph).
