The Suzuki GSX-R125 and the Suzuki GSX250R were
showcased at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. The former made its Japan premiere at
the show.
The Suzuki GSX-R125 is a 125cc performance offering
from Suzuki. The full fairing and the Suzuki racing livery stays true to the
GSX-R product family. One of the unique features of this motorcycle is the
key-less ignition system with answer back function. The bike features a
multifunction fully digital instrument cluster as well. The headlamp and tail
light are LED units.
Power for the Suzuki GSX-R125 comes from 124.4cc
single cylinder DOHC engine with liquid cooling and fuel injection. A 6-speed
transmission does duty in the bike. For suspension, the bike comes with a
telescopic front fork and a link-type rear monoshock. Brakes include petal
discs on both ends, with twin-channel ABS. The fuel tank can store 11 litres of
juice; and the bike weighs 134 kg, kerb.
The Suzuki GSX250R is more of a sporty tourer than
an outright track machine. Suzuki has tuned the 248cc parallel twin engine in
the bike for optimum low- to mid-range torque. The SOHC liquid-cooled engine
makes 25 bhp of power and 23 Nm of torque. The powerplant mates with a 6-speed
transmission.
Coming to the cycle parts, the motorcycle employs
KYB telescopic front fork and a KYB rear monoshock. Disc brakes on both ends
handle the braking responsibility. The 17-inch alloy wheels are shod with IRC
tyres, and the instrumentation is all-digital.
