Engineered by Rieju for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2005 Rieju Spike features a 50 cc (3.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.5 HP (6.2 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 170 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,332 mm (52.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Rieju archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2005 to 2006, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
