Engineered by Suzuki for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2015 Suzuki Burgman 125 features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12.2 HP (8.9 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.8 Nm (8 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 97.6 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), 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 Burgman 125 measures 159 kg (351 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (13.03 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 735 mm (28.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,465 mm (57.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
