The 2016 Intermot is on full throttle with new blockbuster unveils and launches. Making hot news at the event is Suzuki’s motorcycle lineup that has been put on display at the said show in Cologne. The bike maker has displayed all the big guns out of its portfolio including the litre-class GSX-R1000, GSX-R1000R, V-Strom 650 & V-Strom 650XT sports tourers and the flagship adventure bikes – V-Strom 1000 & V-Strom 1000XT. While these are attracting eyeballs at the event, there is one more from the Suzuki stable that has joined in.

Presenting the all-new entry level 2017 GSX-R125! The GSX-R125 is the smallest and the lightest offering of the GSX-R family with a displacement of just 125cc. It borrows genes from the legendary bikes of the said family and is built around the same GSX-R philosophy. So, as per Suzuki, the GSX-R 125 will be good at its power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios. Also, its acceleration is claimed to be better than competitors as its new, single cylinder 125cc engine is the lightest in the 125cc sports bike category.

On the visual front, this 125cc bike looks edgier and aggressive. The decals on the blue version are similar to what we see on the Gixxer SF. Apart from the Blue livery the GSX-R125 will be available in Black, and White colour scheme with Red Decals on both. Personally, the Black one is killer! Speaking of features, it gets a signature LED stacked headlight, a full LCD dash, and a new keyless ignition – a first for Suzuki – with the easy-start system used on the new flagship GSX-R1000.

The front will be assisted by a standard telescopic suspension and the rear will get a mono-shock setup. The braking duties will be performed by petal disc brakes at both ends with the rear module being a smaller disc. Other features will include a liquid cooling system, neat upswept exhaust canister, and Dunlop rubbers.
