Pricing revealed for new Suzuki GSX-R125 and GSX-S125 bikes
Entry-level motorcycles are designed to appeal to commuters and bikers at the beginning of their riding careers
Suzuki has announced the pricing for its entry-level range of sportsbikes, the new GSX-R125 and GSX-S125 models.
The GSX-R125 will cost from £3,999 when it hits showrooms in September, while the GSX-S125 will be priced from £3,699.
The Japanese manufacturer claims the new GSX-R boasts the best power-to-weight ratio and acceleration performance in the 125cc sportsbike class. A slim chassis design means the GSX-R is also the lightest bike in class, weighing in at 134kg. This not only allows for greater acceleration off the line, it also improves the handling and improves fuel economy.
Like its stablemate, the new GSX-S125 also lays claim to the title of best power-to-weight ratio and acceleration performance, this time in the naked 125cc street bike class. Suzuki claims its upright riding position and quick acceleration makes it the ideal bike for city centre riders and commuters.
Suzuki GB marketing manager, Rob Cooper, said, “The new GSX-R125 means those sportsbike fans that are getting into motorcycling for the first time can join the largest and most iconic family of sportsbikes in the world from the start of their riding careers. And like other GSX-R riders, they can be sure they are riding a bike that is built to achieve the maximum performance it can within class regulations, by focussing on weight-saving and acceleration performance.
“But it’s also not only new riders that will enjoy both the GSX-R125 and GSX-S125, with both offering engine performance to please experienced riders that are perhaps looking for a small bike for city use, that are easy to ride, filter with, and park in busy town centres.”
