Technical Overview
2012 Veli VL200GS-2 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
At the heart of the 2012 Veli VL200GS-2 naked motorcycle, Veli utilizes a 196.5 cc (12 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.5 HP (10.6 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14.2 Nm (10.5 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 73.8 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 VL200GS-2 measures 135 kg (298 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.31 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,365 mm (53.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 120 km/h (75 mph).
