DR 125

1991 Suzuki DR 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Suzuki for the sport motorcycle segment, the 1991 Suzuki DR 125 relies on a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12 HP (8.8 kW) at 9,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 96.8 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 DR 125 measures 125 kg (276 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.42 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,390 mm (54.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 102 km/h (63 mph).
