here’s what FB’s Carl Stevens had to say;When you’re a raring-to-go 17-year old biker all you want is the quickest, coolest 125cc possible. Suzuki’s certain it’s got just the ticket in its all-new GSX-R125 sportsbike, but does it meet the cut? fie new from ground-up GSX-R125 is said to not just mimic the brand’s flagship GSX-R1000 in the looks department, but also in its build philosophy too. And judging by my experience of it around Silverstone’s Stowe circuit, it’s fair to say its delivered on its word. 19tEAM SUZUKI RACING NEWSthe optimisation doesn’t stop there, with the twin-spar aluminium frame shaving a substantial 3kg over its predecessor. Add this figure to a whole load of other lightweight features and the end result is a motorcycle that weighs some 8kg less than its nearest rival, with a kerb mass of just 134kg. So, if you add these two accolades together, you don’t need me to tell you that this means the Suzuki has the best power-to-weight ratio in its class, which means a lot when you’re talking about small capacity bikes. Suzuki’s in it for the whole package though. … even if they are a bit teeny-weeny.fie finish on the little GSX-R is undeniably impressive for the price tag. fie neat cockpit and, concise yet informative, LED dash automatically makes you feel at home, and the fact that Suzuki has fitted the bike with a keyless ignition system is a real nice touch. In all honesty the GSX-R125 really does look the part; from the vertically stacked LED lights to the wind tunnel developed race style fairing, Suzuki has covered every angle to make this little puppy as attractive as possible. Even the exhaust looks half decent and the wheels are nothing short of pimpedSuzuki let us loose on Stowe circuit for a day (the baby layout on the inside of Silverstone which is only marginally bigger than a kart track) to test the 125cc’s credentials. Jumping on the little GSX-R, the first thing that strikes you is how truly small it is; especially compared to the other sporty 125s. In fact, it’s so small that even I can get both feet on the ground and I’m I’m 5ft 6 ins (1.68m)! According to Mr. Naoki (Suzuki’s chief test rider), it’s about as 2018 Issue #1 - Summertech-mateAs far as spec goes, there’s only so much you can expect from a 125cc in today’s age. Sitting through the presentation you really do get a feeling that Suzuki has ploughed a load of thought into making the GSX-R a class winner. For starters, the main bragging point has to be its power; thanks to its DOHC engine that’s been combined with a 32mm big bore throttle body and a bigger, optimised bore x stroke ratio, the claimed 14bhp on tap means the GSX-R’s motor makes it the most powerful 125cc sportsbike on the market, gifting the Suzuki a pretty immense medal of class leading acceleration.
