Engineered by Suzuki for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2009 Suzuki Sixteen 125 pairs a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 53.5 x 55.2 mm (2.1 x 2.2 inches) with a 11.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Sixteen 125 measures 135 kg (298 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,385 mm (54.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
