The truth is that we only need Kawasaki to give us a 125 four-stroke, because the other competitors already have one on the market. The last to arrive will be this Suzuki GSX-R 125 We already saw a picture of it in early 2008, but so far it has not been ready to go into production. This new Suzuki is expected to follow the established line with liquid-cooled four-stroke engines around 15 HP and more or less cheap and simple components. Although without reaching the simplicity of the current Suzuki Van Van or Suzuki DR 125 that keep the old-fashioned 125 4T of air alive.

In the chassis section it is speculated that it is stamped steel as in its sister cousin Yamaha YZF 125R. The swingarm does seem to be made of aluminum and following the aesthetics of other larger displacement motorcycles, while the brakes feature a pair of normal-type double-piston calipers, maintaining the simplicity of the components. We will have to be vigilant to catch a test unit as soon as they hit the market.

In the image, just like Yamaha does with its YZF or Honda with its CBR, we find a bodywork that we can call a large scale motorcycle, based in this case on the GSX-R of greater displacement. The juicy part of the news (if there is still something else) is that the engineer in charge of the design of this little 125 is the engineer Satoshi Miyake, who is also responsible for the design of the new Suzuki GSR 250. What are importers waiting for to flood the European market with these small displacement jewels?
