Technical Overview
2012 Veli VL200GS-5 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Veli for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2012 Veli VL200GS-5 features a 198 cc (12.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.1 HP (10.3 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 chain final drive. With a specific output of 71.2 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-5 measures 180 kg (397 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (12.77 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. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 120 km/h (75 mph).
