Overview

Introducing the 2021 AJS Modena 125, a stylish and practical scooter that embodies the spirit of urban commuting. Hailing from the historic UK brand AJS, known for its rich legacy in the motorcycle industry, the Modena 125 is aimed at riders who seek a blend of reliability, efficiency, and flair. Its compact design and approachable performance make it an ideal choice for both novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts looking for a nimble two-wheeled companion to navigate city streets or enjoy weekend outings. At the heart of the Modena 125 lies a robust single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering a nimble 7.1 horsepower at 7500 RPM and a torque of 7.5 Nm at 6500 RPM. This efficient powertrain allows the scooter to reach a top speed of 88.5 km/h (55 mph), making it more than capable of handling both urban traffic and the occasional open road. The air-cooled engine, paired with an automatic gearbox and belt final drive, ensures a smooth riding experience with minimal fuss. With a fuel consumption rate of just 2.80 litres per 100 km, the Modena 125 is not only eco-friendly but also wallet-friendly, offering an impressive mileage of around 84.01 mpg. The Modena 125 is packed with features that enhance both comfort and convenience. Its lightweight steel frame, weighing only 95 kg (209.4 pounds), combined with a seat height of 735 mm (28.9 inches), makes it accessible for a wide range of riders. The telescopic front fork and swingarm rear suspension provide a balanced ride, absorbing bumps effortlessly while navigating through urban environments. Additionally, the scooter is equipped with both electric and kick starters for reliability, and its diverse color options—ranging from striking Red/White to classic Black—allow riders to express their personal style. With a 12-month warranty covering parts and labor, peace of mind is just another perk of choosing the Modena 125. **

Pros

  • Fuel Efficiency: With a consumption rate of only 2.80 litres/100 km, this scooter is incredibly economical, perfect for daily commuters.
  • Lightweight and Maneuverability: Weighing just 95 kg, the Modena 125 is easy to handle, making it ideal for city riding and parking.
  • Stylish Design Options: The variety of color schemes lets riders customize their scooter to match their personality.

Cons

  • Limited Power for High-Speed Riding: With a top speed of 88.5 km/h, it may not satisfy riders seeking a more powerful, high-speed performance.
  • Basic Braking System: The drum brake at the rear may not offer the same stopping power as disc brakes, especially in emergency situations.
  • Small Fuel Tank Capacity: Although fuel-efficient, the 4.60-litre tank may require more frequent refueling on longer rides compared to scooters with larger capacities.
