DR-Z 125 L

2007 Suzuki DR-Z 125 L Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Suzuki for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2007 Suzuki DR-Z 125 L pairs a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.8 HP (8.6 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10 Nm (7.4 lb-ft) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 95.2 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,500 rpm) and peak power (9,500 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 DR-Z 125 L measures 80 kg (176 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.78 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,270 mm (50 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.6-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
