In 2018, Suzuki released the GSX-R125, an entry-level motorcycle to the GSX-R series of sportbikes designed to be enjoyed by less experienced and young riders. The 2018 GSX R-125’s styling was influenced by the aggressive and sharp design of more powerful bikes in the GSX-R portfolio.
The model featured a 124cc engine combined with a lightweight and compact chassis, which resulted in a smooth and satisfying acceleration feeling and enjoyable riding experience both on city streets or winding roads.
The bike was based on the fully faired style of the GSX-R series, with large 17 inches wheels both front and rear, petal-designed brake discs, and ABS as standard equipment. It also featured a single LED headlight, full LCD instrument display, and keyless ignition with the Suzuki Easy-start system, which fired up the engine at a single press of a button.
At its core, the bike featured a 124cc four-stroke one-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a power output of 15 hp at 10,000 rpm and 11 Nm (eight lb-ft) of torque available at 8,000 rpm. The power, combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 134 kg (295 lbs), pushed the bike to a top speed of 111 kph (69 mph).
The 2018 Suzuki GSX-R125 was for sale in 2022, starting from $3,500.
