Positioned in Yamaha's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2024 Yamaha Tricity 125 relies on a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.1 HP (8.8 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.2 Nm (8.3 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 96.8 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Tricity 125 measures 168 kg (370 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (13.88 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,410 mm (55.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.2-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.3 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 313 km (194 miles) between fill-ups.
