Suzuki Gsx-r125
The Suzuki Gsx-r125 has a top speed of ~100 km/h, produces 15 hp and weighs 134 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
De Suzuki GSX-R125 werd in 2017 geïntroduceerd als onderdeel van Suzuki's inspanningen om de iconische GSX-R supersport-styling en -erfenis naar het 125cc-instapsegment te brengen, voornamelijk gericht op Europese en Aziatische markten met A1-licentiebeperkingen. Hij deelt zijn agressieve koetswerk-DNA met zijn grotere GSX-R-broers en zussen, waardoor het een van de visueel meest opvallende fietsen in zijn klasse is. Het werd al snel populair onder nieuwe fietsers en pendelaars die een sportieve esthetiek wilden met praktische, leerlingvriendelijke prestaties.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Reliable Fuel-Injected Engine
The GSX-R125 uses a fuel-injected 125cc single-cylinder engine that requires minimal maintenance and is known for consistent, trouble-free performance. Regular oil changes every 3,000–4,000 miles are the key to keeping it running strong.
Watch for Stator Issues
Some owners report stator and charging system problems, particularly on earlier models, which can lead to battery drain and electrical faults. Always check the battery health and ask for service history before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The GSX-R125 holds its value well compared to many A1-licence rivals due to its iconic GSX-R branding and sporty looks. Low-mileage, well-maintained examples are consistently in high demand on the used market.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"The smartest A1 starter bike money can buy used."
$2,500-$4,500 usedThe GSX-R125 is genuinely the best-looking small-capacity bike on the market, and Suzuki deserves credit for giving A1-licence riders something that doesn't look embarrassing parked next to the big guns. The 124cc single-cylinder engine is smooth enough for city work and the chassis actually teaches you good habits — it rewards corner commitment and punishes lazy riding in a way that makes you a better motorcyclist. That's not nothing. Buying used though, check the rear tyre wear obsessively — new riders hammer them. Look for chain slack and sprocket wear, both are frequently neglected. The 2017-2018 examples can show fuel system niggles, so a pre-purchase inspection matters. Fairings crack easily and panels are pricey to replace, so inspect every panel join. Anything with track day history or signs of a drop, walk away immediately — these frames don't forgive abuse.
