Positioned in Tayo's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Tayo HJ125-5A Monster relies on a 134.9 cc (8.2 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.7 HP (9.3 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 94.1 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the HJ125-5A Monster measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.45 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,260 mm (49.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
