The term "125cc" refers to the engine displacement of a motorcycle or scooter, indicating that the engine has a capacity of 125 cubic centimeters. This measurement is commonly used to categorize small to mid-sized motorcycles, making them suitable for beginner riders and urban commuting. Motorcycles in the 125cc category are often lightweight and fuel-efficient, providing a balance between power and ease of handling. They typically have a top speed of around 60-70 mph, making them ideal for city travel and short-distance rides. Many countries have specific licensing requirements for 125cc vehicles, often allowing younger or less experienced riders to operate them.
