Positioned in Suzuki's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2020 Suzuki DR-Z125L 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-Z125L measures 89 kg (196 lbs) wet (curb). 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.
