When suzuki come out with a new motorcycle you can be bloody sure it's a good one.
Overbore engine + Great chassis + Superior clutch = Epic fun. Even on small bikes :D
No wheelies? Unsubbed.
But seriously I want a red one 😍
To me, this is what the fun of motorcycling is all about. Not necessarily having a really fast and powerful bike, but the fun of riding, especially in a group. I can have just as much fun, or even more possibly, on a little fun bike, as on a big, powerful sports bike. My last motorcycle was a GSX-R600, but my next motorbike will probably be a GSX150, the equivalent in my market of this GSX-S125. Small, light, flickable, great for commuting, cheap on fuel, simple...
Its very true, I agree this really became clear to me while riding this with these guys
Two wheeled magnet for 17 year old boys.
I'm 52 with a big bike and would love one.
I wanna do this for the rest of my life! (My wife - Yeah, when you will be 60 and your childrens are raised) ...
The Ignition blanking plate to protect the key slot on the ignition slot is not to be scoffed at, and is about time too and how about beefing up the bloody pathetic steering lock folks as learner bikes thefts push up our premiums, but in this day and age why can`t you just use your mobile phone integrated into the ECU to identify yourself and start the engine? (my voice is my password, is a prime example, sorry to get all techno)
ps, I am working on just such a system where you text/speak into your phone and this then command your bike to opens the ignition system a bit like an immobilizer and also allows you to track your bike in theft a bit like locating your device, the device is your bike:) I have nearly perfected this box of tricks and I will let you know when it will be ready for launch!!(If intrested please contact me for a demo)
Mr lamb chop is this bike any different in power or handling from the Suzuki GS 125 we rode in our day. I argue this has more body panels to be damaged/destroyed by the present generation/our kids than in our truly naked commuter bikes days(Honda CG/YAM RSX 125, also and I don`t want to go into DAD mode but why would you buy this bike over a full on race rep as I see it it`s A middle ground bike or is this SUZUKI`S intentions I wonder?
Glad to see manufactures are starting to think about security options :) great fun review of the bike :)
My Keeway has that ignition lock lock, it's a really tricked out cool little bike. This is the first time I've seen it on another bike.
Would have loved one of these when I was 17 how dam cool would you have been. Although i did have a DTR 125 so I wonder if the fun would have been the same.
+Lee Howling yes me too, wouldn't mind one now as a commuter if you did a lot of town stuff... price seems right to me also. Now I just need a job where I have to commute hehe
absolutely beautiful. I'm a bit jealous, but I do love my KMX more than anything else.
Why in the hell dont they bring these bikes to the US? All we get are the Grom and Z125 which are just scooters. I would love a 125cc fuller size bike.
You can. Just import it through your suzuki dealership. But it'll cost you alot
I've finally got myself one of these, watched this abbot 6 years ago and it became my dream bike, Ive had a Honda Vision 110 for 8 years and OMG this was so much fun riding 100 miles home from the New Forrest, Im on my 6th CBT but this is definitely a HUGE step up! I comfortable did 82 mph! I'm so happy :) I slightly overpaid but had to get the 2018 as I love design
Edit: The speedo said 82 but the Mrs was following me in the car and said she had 68 on cruise control so clock mayebe a bit out
The ride home was exactly what I was expecting! 6 years in the waiting
Couldnt recommend this bike enough, i use it daily to and from work. such a joy to ride. easy to ride on the limit of the bike, ABS is completely non intrusive. nice and narrow for filtering and enough bite off the line to get in front of almost anything. only downside i found is neutral / second can be a bit tricky. had it drop out of second into neutral a few times, just needs a good positive change.
Hi is this a good bike for a starter bike? I'm going to do my CBT next year.
@@karlbrennan1012 Absolutely, sporty enough to be fun and super simple to ride. I haven’t gotten myself into trouble once on it riding through all kinds of weather, the Dunlop tyres it comes with grip really well even in super wet conditions. I started riding again after a 10-year break on a Keeway TX which i found really harsh to ride, as with most of the Chinese imports they're very difficult to stop safely in anything but dry conditions. It has great balance and enough power to keep you out of trouble.
I have the same problem sometimes , but the transmission is so smooth ... Just , the Honda CB500F I took my test on had a smoother one and it threw me off .
@@karlbrennan1012 Yeap , get it , it's easy to start , it doesn't stall , it's very beginner friendly , it has more torque than you'd think , the brakes are fantastic , the tires do their job well , it handles perfectly , and it's good with fuel consumption . Like ... really good . Plus with it being a suzuki I imagine selling it won't be hard since it already has a reputation for reliability and judging from stuff like build quality and stuff. Yeap it'll be perfectly happy for years .
Excellent vid, I am considering a return to biking after a 20 year absence and I think a small capacity machine such as this one might be the way to go initially. Do you think it delivers enough fun to keep me entertained for a year or two?
+antares it's a fun bike but if you've ridden before berhaps a 300cc would suit better though. But it's certainly a fun machine even with lower power levels
antares I did that with a duke 125. Had fun and did a few longer rides enjoying the MPG more than the MPH obviously. Blimey though, these new learner bikes handle amazingly well.
dave bell it sounds like I might enjoy a small bike especially, as you say, they handle brilliantly!
In Australia we pay 3890 in dollars which is about 2500 pounds ride away including insurance registration and all dealership fees for 12 months
When were we paying that? I'm looking at the moment and they're $5400
Got mine in 2020 in Australia 👍

@@bowhunter6431 damn, guessing I missed the boat. Probably more expensive now like the used and new car market also
@@bowhunter6431 have just somehow gotten onto the sale page of the 2020 bikes and they were 4k, seems Covids chip shortage have raised the price quite a bit
a bunch of people in Taiwan have been ordering the 150 version of R and S,
and tentatively waitng for their bikes to arrive.
the problem is with 150 cc is that if you do not have your license yet you cannot drive on the highway in most countries in Europe. You could always tuneup a 125cc and just hope you not getting caught by the police. But in Europe very few countries allow 125cc on the highway unfortunately. Taiwan is a motorcycle/scooter country almost everyone has some type of motor to ride on...also police is not so strict especially outside Taipei.
i'm 5'1 do you think i can ride this bike ?
Yeah , it's one of the shortest bikes you can get .
Yeah mate. Shortest seat height in the 125 class. I got one. I rate it for practicality and economy
Really good fun on the B roads!
You go steady now on that 125.
Like the r you track tested, both great bikes for non full licence holders.
I saw 76 mph. Not too bad
I have a MT125 for my 'starter bike' and I wish I got the GSX instead now :( There's just something about it. Wish Suz did a 300 version but that's me being picky xD
Whats this bike like for tall lads
it should be fine, I have seen another video with someone who is 6'6 tall, and he was sitting on it fine with long legs and everything.
A friend of mine is 6'5" 196cm . He tried my GSX-S 125 and he was fine on it , he fit well , he looked massive on it but he fit well and the bike didn't struggle with him on it .
I have the CB125F. I wan't this bike but can't justify spending the 3.5k Euro on it for now since my CB has everything I want ... except ABS.
I switched from cb125f to csx-s125, the difference is very good. Driving feeling, brakes, suspensions and material quality are much better
I live in turkey cb125f price 14.400 TL
GSX-S125 discounted price of 15,000 TL :)
It's a much faster bike than the cb125f and over here in Ireland it's the same price and the cb is only air cooled and the gsxs 125 is liquid cooled so it's an absolute bargain in comparison.
What a charming man - belching loudly every 30 seconds. How endearing.
Cry
i like the commentary...gotta luv British humor...as someone who hasnt got his license yet but been riding 125cc automatics for a long time...I have driven highways, mountains, in deeeep fog, rain, hard wind whatever condition....I really long for something more powerful I think 300 cc range would suit me better just that extra power but within the city and countryside its perfect to just cruise with 125cc and enjoy
I have a GSX S125 2018 GP colour is great in the big city like london
Fantastic review, put a smile on my face! I'm upgrading my two month old PCX125 to this in 4 hours, as no trainer will provide me lessons on big scooters, so going the full A-licence normal bike route. This little bike will put a smile on my face for the 4 months I'll have it before my test!
Did you ever even use 6th gear 😂
15 hp is alot for a 125cc 4 stroke :D
I’m getting mine next month can’t wait 😀😀😀😀
Brings back memories of messing about on my kawasaki AR 125 , long long time ago !
+ft rider yeah they are a lot of fun, absolute scream in a group 😎😎
I'd rather have this than a useless Grom.
എന്തുകൊണ്ട് ഇതു ഇന്ത്യയിൽ ഇല്ല..???....
Well had mine a week now and it's amazing.
Good to hear Andrew, great little bike!
Lamb Chop Rides. It's all thanks to watching your review of the bike. Seen one in my local bike shop came home and looked to see what was on here about em. Your review was first I seen and decided I had to have one
Hi mate how you finding the bike I’m tempted to buy one but can’t really see any reviews?
Mr and Mrs Egg . The bike is brilliant would recommend it to anyone I've not found one thing I don't like about it. The ride position is great and with a full tank of petrol costing about £9 I get roughly a week and 2 days out of it about 120 odd miles.
So in all I would say give the bike a really good thought
A colleague of mine owns a Ducati 1098 and a Duke 125. After riding the Duke I understand why. Extracting every last bit of performance out of a tiny engine is great fun even at semi-legal speeds. The 1098 is only fun above jailtime speeds :p
Might pick this if the R while I’m in my L’s soon in Australia. Great points about comfort over looks 👍🏻
Great little bike!
Good
great video was fun to watch, brings bacl very old memories ;-) kill switch was good to he he
The Asian counterparts of the this has a 150cc engine with 18hp, no ABS though.
19.1 hp
i own one of these
some places in Asia like Taiwan is 150cc with ABS as standard.
Here we have 150cc version in Taiwan Lol
How fast are these bikes ? Misses wants one to come out and ride with me rather than be pillion will they do 60/70 mph
Watch the video
These will do 80mph
Is this the naked bike to get ? I'm looking for a fun little mess around bike , been looking at mt125,tuono and this , this seems to be the best all rounder for riding and insurance, my last bike was 15 years ago (2005 honda CBR 125) at that time it felt quite quick to me but I'm guessing this is a better all round machine ? Any opinions are welcomed
Mt 125, gsxs 125, cb125r are all good bikes. Just avoid Chinese shite like sinnis, lexmoto. Avoid the ktm aswell. Prawn for electrical issues
5:29 Perfectly encapsulates this little bike! My new bike :)
Have you not been on a msx125 has a way shorter wheel base a lot lighter and so much easier to chuck around
After 30+ years of racing/riding other brands I was in two minds if I should buy this beautiful Suzuki?
Well,after only 2200Klms,with rear guard tidy and a Mivv Exhaust system my smiles are from ear to ear.This 2020 Ecstar 125(Gsx125R) is so,so much fun to ride around the city.Polished to the max its trick and so much fun.Well done Suzuki.
What type of you call this kind of motorcycle?
Sport Touring? Street Sport? Or?
It looks better than Honda cb125f or Yamaha ys125 AND it sounds GOOD unlike those two. Both of those bikes have a lawnmower sound when standing still but this one does sound like a proper motorcycle.
Nice to see you have some new gloves chops!
+Aldred Squash yeah about time eh! 😂😂
This one or Kawa Z???? i can’t take a decision.
Kawi looks better but this thing definitely goes better
no im right
Ive been looking at a GSX s125, for when ive done my CBT. I had some doubts one speed ect,, but after watching this, i think it'll be good fun. thanks
Fun vIdeo Suzuki GSX-s 125 what a roll brilliant review .🇬🇧😁😁
That bike has 6 gears
I have a classic 2010 GSX 125, I say classic because it shares it's looks with a GSX 250 E, and a GS.
So Little info on this bike, because it is so new. Thanks for uploading this, I really hope I get enough money for this one day. Can you change the exhaust on this??
+DOUBLEPLAYER3 don't think Suzuki have an approved one yet but sure there will be aftermarket ones available soon. 👍
DOUBLEPLAYER3 th-cam.com/video/aNlzIPCYAgE/w-d-xo.html just cekidot... Sarp freeflow exhaust for gsxr/s 125/150
My motorcycle😍I’m so happy for having the chance to drive it with 16! It’s so easy to drive with it #suzuki
The gsxr125 is made for younger people
No it's made for everyone
do u think a 5'3 can ride this bike?
@Miles thx for the reply man appreciate it
@Com Sivoraraj
I own one and I am 5'10 and it is actually a high bike and I just about swing my leg over it so you might struggle getting on to it.
I'm 5'7.5" , my feet are flat on the ground , you should be fine because it's really light
@@simdoran8516 Huh? It’s the lowest 125…
in Asia we have S150 and R150 with no abs
Pls give more vedio related suzuki gixer 150,125cc bike
Fun little bike
The Asian counterparts of the this has a 150cc engine with 18hp, no ABS though.
Now we have ABS on the Indian 155cc Gixxer as it's branded here.
in indonesia only have 150 cc, but you can buy a official racing part by :sarp (suzuki aftermarket racing parts) cobra series like a Full System Exhaust,Triple Clamp Assy,Brake and Clutch Lever,Hand Guard,Foot Step Assy,Chain Guard, and programmable ecu and next year suzuki 150cc become 250cc models in indonesian (prediction)
ABS in curtain country like in Taiwan. ABS no mandatory yet in small motorcycle for most asia country
but petal disk brake make a same frequention like a abs
RIVALDI RTG it's right....
why in mph? km/h is more fun due to increase fast of number ....
Seriously , this 150cc version is my bike , So much fun When i Hear High rpm noise , Almost no vibe in high rpm ...
One downfall , why no Keyless in this S version ,, because here thief is anywhere ....
cheers man ...

Please review the GSX 250R.
When launched suzuki 200cc suzuki gixer gsk
bet you can't get a helmet to fit you
Lamb chop rags a 125😂
a lot of fun for small engine bike ! btw, did you forget that this bike has 6 gears transmission?
No I didnt just didn't get a chance to try 6th out!!
Lamb Chop Rides if it's anything like my Mt-125, 6th is just overdrive, good if you're cruising on a flat straight road, 4th and 5th are the fun gears
Alex hardy i have a mt 125 . do you think the handlebars are higher on this suzuki gsx ?
Good fun Chops, thumbs up from me.
+Christo Kinieriem thanks Christo 👍👍
Pick mine up Thursday and can't wait
Andrew Shields tell me if you like it after like 200 miles please
Will do. You thinking of getting one ?
So - how was your first day with the bike ?
Nathan Vonlanthen it was great.just done under 300 miles on it and still loving it
The Loanmower Man
Is that a 11Kw bike? Is the Gsx-R 125 version faster?
There is no difference in power or topspeed
As my experiences on GSX-R/S150 (exactly the same engine base with GSX-R/S125). Top speed was higher on GSX-R due to less drag coefficient.
Its a little bit faster, maximal 10 kmh but the gsx s is more comfortable and it drives 135 kmh on the Autobahn
how tall are you sir? i feel too small riding this motobike (I'm 185cm)
or it's different between europe and asian version
No, there's no any dimension difference between Europe and Asian version, and yea this bike feel a bit small cuz of the narrow seat. I'm 160cm and I ride the gsx R btw.
He's 6ft 2. I'm 6ft 7 and even I fit fine on one.
How about average of fuel consumption?
@Milisa Anggraini
I currently own one and I am getting 123 mpg and is a great little bike.
can i ask mate how tall are you ? i’m 6’2 and pick one of these up next week
Im also 6'2 Nath, it fits fine
Lamb Chop Rides cheers man ha relief ! keep up the good work !
Can you try get your hands on something 2stroke?
Getting my hands on a KTM 300 EXC fuel injection model soon :-)
Lamb Chop Rides nice, I'm looking forward to seeing that mate
Lamb Chop Rides
Yes yes yes now that I want to see
Nice Vid
Hope we can have this model or Displacement here in Philippines
You get the 150 cc model designed in Indonesia right?
Why, you're getting the 150cc version instead lmao
@@dauf69 because price point is less expensive for 125cc DOHC machine here in Philippines.
What is that shit in place of the headlight
ye the headlight is really ugly, im probably gonna buy this bike anyways because its the best light mc (for me) because its cheaper, smaller, faster and lighter than the rest of the light mc class.
Looks good actually and better looking than the other 125cc motorcycles in its class and better value and also best power to weight ratio in its class.
@@hanswangnstvold435
Best looking bike in its class and best power to weight ratio in its class.
Don't worry about it. You don't see the headlight anyway when you're on the bike. 😂
Can it be on a dual carriageway?
VMAX is 135kmh so it's about 80mph?
Yes.
the speedometer in mph right ?
these bikes top out at 60-65
The bike will do 75 mph
@@mrtwollock9392 ehm top speed is around 130km/h
@@mrtwollock9392 these will top out at 80mph lol.
on MPH or KPH?
MPH. Brits are backwards like that.
@@Xerdoz it's not just "Brits" that use (MPH) 😂😂
If you are going for performance on a 125cc, you buy a Aprilia rs125 or cagivia mito
Will Sherriff Too powerful for A1 license.
Reptilian Overlord they come limited to 14.6 hp or something like that and then you have to put a 34mm carb, and powervalve on it and usually a decent exhaust, normally you do a lot more than that but that should get you to 95-100 ish and 0-60 in maybe 6.5s and if I'm correct a yzf125 which will be the same gsxr it will do about 75ish and 0-60 in about 15 seconds? So there is no point in 4stroke 125 super sport bikes?
Reptilian Overlord no they come limited, you have to put a 34mm carb on it and a powervalve, 80% of them now already have them, there is no point in riding them without it
Okay I didn't know they came with restrictors for A1. Thanks.
Reptilian Overlord no problem, what do you ride?
Bit similar to lexmoto venom actually the venom is Chinese copy of this suzuki.
Would you reccomend buying it?
Yes absolutely great little bike
Thanks! These are really cheap here in Australia (learners are restricted to 660cc, so not much demand for 125's), I'm really thinking of getting the S version for commuting. I was toying with the idea of a Grom, because they're so popular, but these are so cheap and look so much fun, and much better at lane splitting than my tiger. Here the S version is 2,200 of your british pounds on the road so seems like a no brainer!
James Oren dude its 50 grand in Norway
Lol cheers for not converting the currency for me, it's fine I learnt about Krone!
Holy crap though! that's $8k aussie - literally twice the price. Does that include on the road and registration costs & is the high cost because of its engine? I know you guys lead the world in electric vehicles and are quite progressive about getting rid of fossil fuel cars, etc?
25,000kr is pretty standard for non-basic 125's here - a Grom, these Suzuki's, even a Yamaha R15 are all about the same price. Actually I suspect the R15 will essentially kill the GSX-R125 here before it even gets a look in. There's no reason I could see that you'd buy the 125cc suzuki over the 150cc yamaha at the same price if you want a little supersport - they should have imported the GSX-R150 to compete really. The GSX-S125 however has a good chance because there's nothing quite like it here; a comfortable commuter 125 with a ultra light weight and a mini supersport engine; I think that'll have a decent market in the cities.
Out of interest, I had a look what 50,000 krone would get you in Aussie in terms of a brand new bike, probably the best would be a Ninja 400. It's a little less here - including taxes, registration etc, a Ninja 400 is about 46,500Kr on the road (the list price pre-tax, etc. is 40,000kr).
This is honestly the only time I've found Australia isn't the most expensive at something lol. Still though, your country's amazing! If I could remotely handle your winter's, and afford bikes, I'd wanna live there!
Ok the Ninja 400 is about 89,000kr but close enough
Is it better than the Honda CB125F?
Yes, it has both better parts, lighter weight and a good bit higher accelaration
🙏 Suzuki GSXR 125r so good looking bike beautiful blue colour thanks to Suzuki for manufacturing such a wonderful bike 👌🙂

Looks like the scooters in Thailand.
Why would anyone buy a 125 tho
Because in Europe there's a license for it.
Markus HmW yes millions and millions of people buy 125s.
Why not straight 150cc or 250cc
Markus HmW Because for example in Germany (where I live) there's a License (called A1).
You can have this at an age of 16. You restricted at max. 125ccm and 15HP
With an age of 18, you can make the A2-licence (max. 48HP)
After 2 years of A2 or at an age of 24 you can make the A2-licence (you can ride every motorcycle)
-------------------
In Germany/Europe there's no Market for 150ccm Motorcycles and and because of the new regulations 2013 (48hp on A2, no longer only 34hp) 250ccm were almost completely gone on the new market for streetbikes
They have to much power for A1 and to low power for A2 (why buy a 250ccm if you can buy a 300ccm/500ccm?)
-----------
150ccm were popular in Asia especially in India, because there small, have enough power and where cheaper than bigger bikes. And there's a huge market for that.
Because in Europe including the UK you can ride a 125cc on L plates. Nothing wrong with these for 17 year olds. Wish they had these when I was still on a 125. May buy one as a winter commuter.
