At the heart of the 2022 Suzuki DR-Z125 enduro - offroad motorcycle, Suzuki features a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. 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-Z125 measures 88 kg (194 lbs) wet (curb). 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 4.8-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
