1997 Husqvarna WR 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Husqvarna for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 1997 Husqvarna WR 125 features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10 HP (7.3 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 80 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the WR 125 measures 93 kg (205 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.3 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 890 mm (35 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control.
