At the heart of the 1999 Suzuki Marauder 125 custom - cruiser motorcycle, Suzuki features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10 HP (7.3 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.3 Nm (6.1 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 80 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Marauder 125 measures 139 kg (306 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (13.9 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 680 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 438 km (272 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 101 km/h (63 mph).
