Built around Suzuki's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2009 Suzuki DR-125SM pairs a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 57.0 x 48.8 mm (2.2 x 1.9 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the DR-125SM measures 121 kg (267 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 836 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,340 mm (52.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
