2001 Husqvarna SM 125 S Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Husqvarna's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2001 Husqvarna SM 125 S utilizes a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15 HP (10.9 kW) at 9,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 120 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the SM 125 S measures 112 kg (247 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.47 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 872 mm (34.3 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 118 km/h (73 mph).
