At the heart of the 2011 Yamaha Zuma 125 scooter motorcycle, Yamaha utilizes a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 52.4 x 57.9 mm (2.1 x 2.3 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Zuma 125 measures 93.9 kg (207 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.06-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.64 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 230 km (143 miles) between fill-ups.
