New 125cc from Suzuki
Suzuki GSX-R 125 and Suzuki GSX-S 125 – the two new eight-liter racers in MotoGP design have what it takes to shake up the 125cc market.
B.it must be lukewarm! For once, the colleagues present agreed on this point. The two new eight-liter racers from Suzuki presented here will also be available in black and white (Suzuki GSX-R 125) or red and black (Suzuki GSX-S 125) in addition to the blue shown here, but in this rich, deep one Blue in combination with the MotoGP design simply comes across as the coolest by far. But one after the other.

New 125cc from Suzuki
High expectations for the two 125ccs
In the eight-liter class, Suzuki, apart from a few scooters, has so far been pretty bare. And because one expects as much as hopes from the Suzuki GSX-R 125 and the undisguised Suzuki GSX-S 125, a very big stake was struck at the presentation: No less a location than the sacred ground of Silverstone for motorsport fans, also known as the “Home of British Motor Racing”, formed the backdrop for the 125cc athlete’s first appearance. Although it has to be said that it was not the traditional GP course that was taken under the skinny wheels with Dunlop D 103 tires, but the Stowe course inside the facility, which is much more suitable for the 15 hp racing car, which conforms to the regulations. It’s not too long and can be driven smoothly except for a tight hairpin and a nasty chicane, which is always the key to fixed and constant speeds in less powerful vehicles.

Also suitable for tall pilots
It is of course clear to everyone involved that the racetrack suitability only played a subordinate role in the development. The talents of the Suzuki GSX-R 125 are all the more astonishing. It starts with the fact that even tall Europeans can find enough space to sit and exercise on the vehicle, which is primarily intended for Asia. It continues with an enormous lean angle, as well as the most revving engine in its class according to Suzuki. And indeed: the dohc single with compensating corrugations turns loosely above its nominal speed of 10,000 / min, only at around 12,000 / min does the limiter say: It’s time to go! The six-speed gearbox, which can be operated easily and precisely via a reversing lever, helps to keep the engine speed in the power range from 8,000 rpm.
Both the 31 mm telescopic fork and the spring strut controlled by a lever system, both of which do not have any adjustment options, do with the racers, but through deep immersion at the front and heavy pumping at the rear, they show that they are not optimized for such insoles. This also applies to the brake of the Suzuki GSX-R 125, which is equipped with the tenth and most recent generation of Bosch ABS. Since there is only significant anchoring in front of the bend, there is no fading, but the thin telescopic fork twists enormously. In addition, the double-piston caliper looks quite blunt and requires plenty of pull on the non-adjustable lever.
And the Suzuki GSX-S 125?
Even the longest turn comes to an end, a change to the other side of the box is due. The Suzuki GSX-S 125 is already waiting there. Except for the missing cladding and a tube handlebar that is around 100 millimeters higher and wider than the stub of the Suzuki GSX-R 125 and an ignition lock, both versions are identical. The “R” is now focussed via a transponder, the “S” by a conventional ignition key. The character changes significantly due to the massive changes in ergonomics.
Chassis could be a little more sensitive
The group meanders through the silver-stone hinterland upright and sublime instead of being sporty. The pilot enjoys the extended game overview on the mostly small, bumpy and winding roads. The hardly used brake gives no reason to complain, rather the already mentioned chassis, which could be a bit more sensitive on the country road. Finally, it should be noted that it would be very surprising if the two sisters, if they are available from dealers for 4,190 euros (Suzuki GSX-S 125) and 4,690 euros (Suzuki GSX-R 125) from autumn of this year, the structure in the 125cc market.
