Built around TVS's allround motorcycle platform, the 2008 TVS Flame 125 utilizes a 124.8 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.3 HP (7.5 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm. With a specific output of 82.5 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 Flame 125 measures 123 kg (271 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (11.94 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.5-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
