Positioned in Suzuki's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Suzuki DR-Z 125 relies on a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 57.0 x 48.8 mm (2.2 x 1.9 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the DR-Z 125 measures 78.9 kg (174 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,245 mm (49 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.43-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
