suzuki GSX-R125 motorcycle is top of the 125cc class

suzuki GSX-R125 motorcycle: the suzuki ‘GSX-R’ series has defined sportbike performance for over 30 years, so the dedicated suzuki engineers take their responsibilities very seriously–every ‘GSX-R’ must be very light and the best performing in its class. meet the ‘GSX-R125’, with the best power to weight ratio; torque to weight ratio; and acceleration, plus nimble handling and great fuel economy in the 125cc class. it’s  versatile too, designed to handle city traffic jams while commuting to school or work during the week. and as an exciting sportsbike it’s ready for fun rides into the countryside on weekend. the combination of lightweight chassis and smooth power delivery mean this bike is ready for the racetrack as well.

the engine for the new suzuki ‘GSX-R125’ is a single cylinder, liquid cooled, DOHC (double over head cam) with 125cc. the engineers behind the series have been perfecting engines for over 30 years, and this is their latest masterpiece. in the 125cc class the’GSX-R125′ has the best power to weight ratio; the best torque to weight ratio; and the best acceleration. so the rider can enjoy the most fun and excitement, every corner, every straight and every ride. this level of performance is well known for a ‘GSX-R’, but beyond the power and acceleration this engine is also extremely fuel efficient.

the chassis design of the motorcycle is light and compact, giving the rider ultimate control in the corners for a fun and sporty ride. for a sports bike low weight is key, this helps deliver a bike with responsive and rewarding handling for added confidence on the street and low lap times on the track. the engineers behind the ‘GSX-R125’  have created the lightest bike in the 125cc class, giving the rider the edge over the competition. as well as being the lightest machine in class it also has the lowest seat height too, making an unbeatable combination for accessibility for all types of rider, while still maintaining a sportsbike stance and riding position. the low seat height means most riders will be able place both feet securely on the floor for added confidence, while the light weight makes the bike easy to manage both on the move and for slow speed maneuvers. contributing to the bikes low weight are the 10 spoke cast aluminum wheels. the slim design of the spokes also adds to this ‘GSX-R’s’ sportsbike looks, along with the sporty petal type brake discs front and rear.

for sleek looks and maximum convenience the sportsbike uses a keyless ignition system. it also uses the suzuki ‘easy start system’: this is a one touch system, and an idle speed system, which improves cold starting, reduces cold start emissions and stabilizes engine idle under various conditions, based on coolant temperature. the convenient system automatically starts the engine with one touch of the starter button mounted in the switch module on the right handlebar; there’s no need to hold the button down until the engine fires. thanks to the new system, the rider doesn’t have to pull the clutch lever in to start the engine, as long as the transmission is in neutral.

to make the best use of every ounce of power from the ‘GSX-R125’s’ class leading engine, the bikes sporty bodywork is also extremely aerodynamically efficient to reduce drag and maximize efficient speed. this design is the result of extensive wind tunnel development, and the sleek bodywork also enhances the its easy handling character. furthermore, it also has the smallest projected frontal area in the 125cc class helping to achieve that best in class acceleration while supporting high levels of fuel efficiency.
