Positioned in TVS's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2009 TVS Flame utilizes a 124.8 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled 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 7.5 Nm (5.5 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 82.5 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 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 measures 109 kg (240 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.58 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,260 mm (49.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
