Technical Overview
2022 Swm VA 125Z Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Swm's naked motorcycle platform, the 2022 Swm VA 125Z relies on a 124.7 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.8 HP (10.8 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 118.7 HP per liter, 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 VA 125Z measures 136 kg (300 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.19 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 7.5-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
