Built around Suzuki's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2018 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 11 HP (8 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 88 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Burgman 125 measures 162 kg (357 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.73 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 10.5-liter (2.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 420 km (261 miles) between fill-ups.
