At the heart of the 2013 Piaggio Typhoon 125 scooter motorcycle, Piaggio pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 8.2 Nm (6 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 57.0 x 48.6 mm (2.2 x 1.9 inches).
On the scales, the Typhoon 125 measures 113 kg (249 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 762 mm (30 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,346 mm (53 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.5-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.61 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 287 km (178 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 97 km/h (60 mph).
