It's amazing how much a bike can change as you change the wheels. Suzuki knows that some riders may be a tad too tall to feel comfortable on an 125er, but are not ready for the bigger displacement motorcycles. So a machine such as the DR-Z125L was a natural arrival. This bike retains all the grunt of the eighth-liter base version, and the off-road styling derived from the RM racing beasts, the sturdy, bulletproof frame and lightweight, trail-ready build.
The air-cooled engine also makes the bike light and easy to flip orpick up from the dirt, while the fluid 5-speed gearbox is engineered to deliver just the right amount of power and torque across the entire rev range for a reassuring feel regardless of the riding surface.
