Technical Overview
2012 Veli VL200GS-3 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Veli's allround motorcycle platform, the 2012 Veli VL200GS-3 relies on a 200 cc (12.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.8 HP (10.8 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14 Nm (10.3 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 74 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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-3 measures 155 kg (342 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.47 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 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 462 km (287 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 100 km/h (62 mph).
