GN 125

1997 Suzuki GN 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Suzuki for the naked motorcycle segment, the 1997 Suzuki GN 125 pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 12 HP (8.8 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9 Nm (6.6 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 96 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 GN 125 measures 101 kg (223 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.42 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops.
