Suzuki GSX-R 125 2017

Maybe not in comparison with its big sisters, but in this class the GSX-R125 still passes for a real super sports bike. With a power output of 15 hp and a 6-speed gearbox, the Gixxer accelerates briskly towards the horizon, up to 125 km/h, thanks to its low weight of 134 kg. The lowest weight in the class also has a positive effect on the riding dynamics; the GSX-R125 can be thrown playfully from bend to bend. Only when the going gets really fast do you wish you had more feeling for the front wheel and better brakes.

The Husqvarna Svartpilen 125 inherits many components from its big 401 sister and the engine from the KTM 125 Duke. The components imported from the 401 are of high quality, but also make the bike quite heavy (for a 125). Nevertheless, it is a lot of fun, especially the Supermoto mode brings out the inner child. With its seating position, classy looks and higher weight, it is more something for individualists than for hobby racers. If you are looking for a unique A1 bike that feels and looks like a full-fledged motorbike, the Svartpilen 125 is a hot candidate.

Very beautiful appearance with many nice details

Top chassis

Top brakes

Standard tyres offer excellent grip on the asphalt despite lug profile

Everyday suitability fully ok

Fun Supermoto mode awakens the inner child

Pleasantly upright seating position

Highest weight in the 125cc class

ground clearance too low for real off-road use

round LCD display already a bit dusty and not very elegant
