Introducing the 2012 LML Star 4S 125 Vintage
Step back in time with the 2012 LML Star 4S 125 Vintage, a retro-styled scooter that elegantly combines classic aesthetics with modern engineering.

Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics
At the heart of the LML Star 4S 125 Vintage lies a spirited single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that displaces 124.88 ccm, delivering a commendable 7.83 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 9.15 Nm of torque at 5,000 RPM. This combination enables the scooter to reach a top speed of 83 km/h (51.6 mph), making it an ideal companion for zipping through city streets or cruising along scenic routes. The 4-speed gearbox and belt final drive provide smooth and responsive acceleration, while the air-cooled design ensures reliability during longer rides. Notably, the impressive fuel economy of 1.67 liters per 100 km (or an astounding 140.85 mpg) means fewer stops at the pump and more time enjoying the ride.
Key Features and Technology
The LML Star 4S 125 Vintage is equipped with a well-engineered chassis featuring a welded steel pipe frame, ensuring durability and stability. The front boasts a single disc brake with a 200 mm diameter for effective stopping power, paired with a rear drum brake for a balanced braking system. The suspension system, which includes a helical spring and hydraulic dampers at both the front and rear, ensures a smooth ride over various terrains. Additional features such as electric and kick starters provide convenience, while the comfortably low seat height of 820 mm allows for easy mounting and dismounting, making it accessible for riders of all sizes.
