Engineered by WSK for the classic motorcycle segment, the 1983 WSK 125 M06B3, engine model S01 Z3A Lux pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8 HP (5.8 kW) at 5,300 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.8 Nm (7.2 lb-ft) at 4,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 3-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 64 HP per liter and a 1,100 rpm working window between peak torque (4,200 rpm) and peak power (5,300 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 125 M06B3, engine model S01 Z3A Lux measures 114 kg (251 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.25 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 766 mm (30.2 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,281 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 446 km (277 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 85 km/h (53 mph).
