Built around Suzuki's allround motorcycle platform, the 2006 Suzuki VanVan 125 features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15.8 HP (11.5 kW) at 8,700 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.8 Nm (7.2 lb-ft) at 7,700 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 126.4 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,700 rpm) and peak power (8,700 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 VanVan 125 measures 117 kg (258 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.41 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 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 7.5-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
