the chassis design of the motorcycle is light and compact, giving the rider ultimate control in the corners for a fun and sporty ride. for a sports bike low weight is key, this helps deliver a bike with responsive and rewarding handling for added confidence on the street and low lap times on the track. the engineers behind the ‘GSX-R125’  have created the lightest bike in the 125cc class, giving the rider the edge over the competition. as well as being the lightest machine in class it also has the lowest seat height too, making an unbeatable combination for accessibility for all types of rider, while still maintaining a sportsbike stance and riding position. the low seat height means most riders will be able place both feet securely on the floor for added confidence, while the light weight makes the bike easy to manage both on the move and for slow speed maneuvers. contributing to the bikes low weight are the 10 spoke cast aluminum wheels. the slim design of the spokes also adds to this ‘GSX-R’s’ sportsbike looks, along with the sporty petal type brake discs front and rear.

for sleek looks and maximum convenience the sportsbike uses a keyless ignition system. it also uses the suzuki ‘easy start system’: this is a one touch system, and an idle speed system, which improves cold starting, reduces cold start emissions and stabilizes engine idle under various conditions, based on coolant temperature. the convenient system automatically starts the engine with one touch of the starter button mounted in the switch module on the right handlebar; there’s no need to hold the button down until the engine fires. thanks to the new system, the rider doesn’t have to pull the clutch lever in to start the engine, as long as the transmission is in neutral.
