At the heart of the 2008 Piaggio Carnaby 125 scooter motorcycle, Piaggio features a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 67.0 x 48.6 mm (2.6 x 1.9 inches).
On the scales, the Carnaby 125 measures 146 kg (322 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,365 mm (53.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
