Suzuki has finally entered the sporty 125cc category with the release of the peng-looking GSX-R125. Jason Statham was reppin' 44T at the press launch...
I disagree and as a computer enthusiast and biker, I am near constructing a keyless ignition system/immobiliser based on your mobile phone as the key, and presently working on the financial security system based on "MY VOICE IS MY PASSWORD". On a funny note, Cortana on my windows 10 asks me to rate the places I have been as she tracks my progress and even my average mph and I didn`t even put that into the programming lol. Unlike other immobilisers where they rely on a physical electrical circuit that can in time be bypassed I have made your phone part of the ECU and A physical completion of the electrical circuit, this I am sure will be the way forward in protecting our bikes and will render theft to selling parts only! as the bike as a whole will be untenable and may I add the bike will be as traceable as typing FIND MY DEVICE!! as this will be integrated into the bikes electrical system. WATCH THIS SPACE:) AS i Think this is about time we protect our investments
Thank you for doing this review there's a distinct lack of professional reviews of 125's on RUclips and the fact it's you two doing it just tops it all off
Bring back 2 strokes. I can only imagine how much better they would be today if they were still being developed. I'm sure an old one would still hold its own, if not embarrass these modern 4 strokes. Oh and the noise 👌
2 strokes are crap. they all sound the same like honestly the same. 2 strokes 250s or higher yeah maybe but a 125? iv ridden a rgv 150 and that thing has no torque at all and goes through alot of fuel for the size. I think learner bikes are good but I honestly think learner bikes under 250 are pointless. They struggle to go high way speeds and often on days with decent wind you will be pinned just to go 100kmph. What they need to do is make 250-300cc size triples with the balance of torque and top end. I dont think anyone should really start on a 600 but I do think 150s and 125's are so pointless its pretty much buy it and learn the absolute basics and then after a week or 2 you need a 250. Iv done a 250-300km ride on a FXR 150. its a 150cc single with 20hp and that was shit. cant overtake and you are praying for a tail wind otherwise you will be pinning it to go 100kmph and thats from a guy that weighs 62kg and if you do have a tail wind and you need to over take then you better wish you have a passing lane atleast half a km long and a good run up otherwise you wont make it. to sum this up 125s-150s pointless things that no one should start on unless they are rich and can buy a new bike a few weeks later. 250s-300s good to start on half enough power for the learner and can last a few months although will get bored pretty quick but unlike 125s and 150s can actually travel on it if you wanted to. 600s massive power increse, massive torque increase, you get used to the power over a month or so and will want something faster but unlike a 250 you dont need something faster. 1000s the jump from a 600 to a 1000 isnt as much as you think its pretty much from what it feels a somewhat decent increase in top end and then alot more torque and torque that starts from way low down. pretty much you will be lucky if you can power wheelie a super sport 600 in first from power alone and if it does its going to be around 10,000 it comes up but on a litre bike it will come up 1st-2nd and sometimes 3rd and it will come up from like 4,000 in 1st half throttle. you ride a 600 then go back to a 250 its fucking slow and gutless. you ride a 1000 and go back to a 600 and less it has less power and torque but you never think its slow its still fast as fuck.
atom608 Your ass must be pretty jealous of all that shit that comes out of your mouth. Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression you're stupid than open it and remove all doubt.
What a killer little bike! I had a CBF125 and beat the living hell out of it. I loved every second. If it wasn't for that emaciated piece of junk I probably would not have transitioned into riding road bikes as well. I am happy to see the new crop of bikes are giving young riders the tools they need to learn to ride properly. Its certainly a bike I would happily put in my garage. Hell! I would do a track day on one!
Bloody hell Al, calm it down on the tan! Nice video boys, love seeing 44Teeth evolve, you guys are up there with the big boys! Saw your review published by Suzuki. Big movements!
Ben Smith It's what it was about, and I know I had fun. I did the 50cc, the 125cc and the 250cc bikes. I started out on a Peugeot 103 that could do 72 kmh. My buddy had a 2 speed Zuendapp that cracked 85 kmh with gears and delorto carb on it. We were kings.
Andy S prepping for his next action flick; the next installment in the "Transporter" series where he goes undercover to nab some of Britain's most notorious scooter thieves. Statham's the man.
I would love to see your review of the newer Aprilia rs4 125. I know you made the comparison with the old 2 stroke rs125 and the rc125, but the new rs4 has been improved drasticaly (except that the new engine only makes 15hp), it looks amazing and it handles like a mini rsv4 factory. Love your videos
I tell thee kids these days will never have the pleasure of swapping yet another spark plug on a tzr 125 in a McDonald's car park while it's pissing down with rain nor will they ever have to try and wipe that black carbon goo like shit off their fingers
People still ride Tzr 125s and there a still a fair few 2 stroke 125s/50cc bikes out there. It's a common sight for me to see a learner 2 stroke around and about. They shit on any 4 stroke 125 out there and possibly beat some of the 300s/250s. The main issue with 2 strokes is the shear unreliability, partly because of the age but it puts off younger riders because they want something they can just hop on and know it will run. But like you say most will not experience the shit that comes with a 2 stroke :D
What you said about 2 smokes was absolutely spot on I do miss the fun of fixing them then blowing them up fixing /repeat.. i dont miss high-siding in the rain tho that sucked
Tbh, I'm not really a fan of low power bikes, but I respect what Suzuki's done because it'll get more people into supersports. Cudos to them for doing a good job at it, as well.
I love the word faf :D 66 MPG on a track is damn good. One track rider with a CBR 250R managed to get 26 MPG... I wish we got it here in the U.S.! V-twin definitely wins cool points for the dragster 125, we also don't have ANY v-twin 125s in the U.S., and even the 250cc V-twin selection is pretty lacking.
the 150 version of this 125 can reach 148 kph in reasonable straight (clocked at test ride session in sentul) and few weeks after that suzuki hold a OMR event the bike is still stock the different is only at the slick tires, some parts stripped and racing exhaust, the rest is stock, the bike reach 160 kph that day, and trust me, sentul's main straight is relatively short.
I turn 17 next month and Ive had my heart set on one of these bikes for a couple of months now, I currently ride a Gilera DNA 50cc and I've been searching everywhere about things about this bike but I can say I'm so exited
I had a YZFR125 2019. The wheels were a lot bigger bike looked bigger wider. Seat hight is higher. VVA engine. How comes this is so tiny? lovely colour
That 125 looks sick! I would've loved something like this over my Yamaha Rd 350. The angle of lean forward and down is so amazing and it looks as it handles pretty great for a 125 class bike. It's absolutely beautiful and racey and Suzuki should be really proud of this mini gixer! You guys crack me up! Your great and reviewing bikes and love the video footage but yeah hilarious stuff mixed in makes you guys super fun to view Keep up these amazing reviews Have fun Later
As a now 40 year old man😯 my first bike was a suzuki rg 250 walter wolf.those were the shit in my day.and over 40hp I believe.2 cyl 2stroke 250cc.aahhh...memories.
No mention here of the 125 cc van van which is suzuki ,and i have one,had it for two years , and love it to bits ,and they have been around for along time i understand,Yes witha cbt its legal
So you're comparing an old rs125 with newer 4 strokes. How does the bike compare to the rs4 125? I know that the rs4 125 of 2015 was better than it's rivals on paper, so where is it in the class of 2017-18?
The RS4 is getting fucked over by its better built, cheaper and better supported competitors while the old RS is increasing in value. This Suzuki seems interesting for the price, could be the best value for money!
You guys seem to have completely glossed over the RS125 from Aprilia (not the 2 stroke, but the 2017 4 stroke). I've heard it handles like a dream and is extremely light/nimble? Plus it looks the business in comparison to this.
But it's electronicly restricted ... In Belgium they only go to 110 km/h ... Yamaha , KTM go over that , and the aprilia has a 130 tire in the rear, still to smalle looking imo compared to the 150 tire in the ktm's
125s are great fun around town etc. Soon as you're out on A/B roads, it's torture. Especially if you're old enough to ride a bigger bike (which the majority of riders are). I started riding in March this year at 24 years old (bought a new YZF-R125). Outgrew the bike in about two weeks. Wanked around and didn't get my full license till about a month ago. Now on an MT09 and I couldn't be happier. Jumped from 8hp to just under 120 :p
A A And in a months time you'll want to sell that!! Went to the gp the other week and a mate has just got the mt09 couldn't keep up with a 99r6, 99 zx9r it's nuts to think Yamaha made a 900 that tops out at 129.
Garry Garry yeah mt09 isn't for the track. That's one of the reasons I chose it. The supersports urge you to go faster don't they? but the wind resistance on the MT keeps you in check + I like how you don't have to work hard to find to the torque. I'll probably keep the MT and get a 2008/09 gen r6 :D for the track. Also another downside to the MT is the tank size and fuel comp. I'm spending double what I did on the r125 for the same mileage.
I use a mt-125 on a daily basis, even though I have much bigger cc bikes, and love the way it can be utilised, even on motorways I don't feel underpowered, it's not allways about power... and I've held my license for 30 yrs this month...
jbird330 surely you must feel underpowered on the motorway? You'd probably (dependent on your weight) have to be giving it full beans just to maintain the national limit right? And no chance of touching 70 on an incline. But I do agree the 125s are great for town/city riding. Just out of interest, have you test ridden an MT07 or 09? It took me about 2-3 days to learn the dimensions of the MT for filtering (which I have to do on a daily basis on a commute through London). It feels almost as agile as an r125. It's weird, but I think jumping from a mini supersports prepares you much better for a larger CC bike than jumping from an upright 125. The fact that I'm now much more upright and on bigger rubber actually makes riding much easier (even though the MT09 is about 50kg heavier than a 125). It's just as good filtering through small gaps too.
A A what a well informed and interesting answer, nice to see that not all the people on you tube are idiots. I am very light, and with a few small modifications I find I can hold 75 mph (gps verified not speedo) no problem, yes your quite right I'm touching full whack but these bikes are built to be thrashed by teenagers, with little maintenance, so I have found no problems with reliability. Don't get me wrong I enjoy my blasts on my other bikes but I've got to say this little bike is a revelation to me. It's good to hear that your enjoying your ride and wish you well my friend.....
I remember back in 2001 I bought myself a brand new Aprilia RS 125 it was light years ahead of that pile of shit. Had USD forks chrome frame and Gullarm gorgeous. And it was genuinely fast with 33bhp.
QQGamerOG Yeah I will admit I got through a few pistons. Didn't break the bank to fix it though, and it was hilarious fun. Bought a gixer6 after that in almost the exact same colours as the bike in the video.
Well worth the money, Rs125s still make stupid power, I bet someone still rags your old one to this day. They aren't very reliable but I still own an Rs50, breaks in someway every time i breath near it but its 2 stroke sickness :D addicted to it now. Bored it to 85cc and sent off for it to be tuned, pulls a lot more than my R125, I'm convinced that it's probably quicker.
Ditto, I had a spanker '98 Model. Kept up with my mates RDs and blew most bikes in corners. Needed re-boring every few months though and the most unreliable bike ever.
Nothing beats the second gen Aprilia RS125 with full power. I'm mechanically inept so still paid a mechanic to work on it though! I remember riding it home after getting the power valve hooked up. I've been addicted to bikes ever since.
Nothing has ever and will never get close to an aprilia RS125 when it comes to go gusset hunting on. Even if it was released now as it was back then. This gsxr 125 does look good I'll give it that....probably a tad more reliable as well
The yzf r125 is probably the most full, big looking 125. The cbr and gsxr are much smaller with seatheight and they look small. Not sure what the seating position is like on this bike but the cbr is basically an upright bike and the yzf is a leant over sport bike.
I think it's a combination of "We can slowly lower the price over the years and sell it to 17 year olds" and "Some old bastards with money burning their pockets who can't cope with more than a 300 will want this to still look cool".
yep, i got my DRZ 400 for that, which after all the work ive done to it is 55bhp, a bit better than 15, new bikes are so overpriced.. at least not as bad as the car industry though xD
LeOnMoTo Yeah I didn't quite get why all the comments are saying £4k is too much. They are never going to buy a new bike anyway so who cares, if people wanna pay £4k then let them and the rest of us can be them used 2 years later. Like you said if people think bikes are expensive then I doubt they drive a car. You can buy a top of the range bike brand new for the price of a 5 year old Prius.
Looks bob on but if you're only using it to progress to bigger bikes then save your cash and get a dirty 2 stroke. I had an RS 125 eztrema back in the day. I know they may not be as reliable as a 4 stroke but they're definitely more fun and you'll learn more about your bike after rebuilding the Piston for the millionth time.
Jason Statham; your voice is a lot more gentle here than in the movies. For your next small-capacity motorcycle review, could you use your movie voice please?
Funny you mention rebuilding two strokes, I have had an rs50 on the road for a few weeks and i've had the fairings off about 9 times already. What can I say apart from 'APRILLIA'
You should get couple more people and head to a out door go kart track on the Suzuki, honda, yamaha, ktm and aprilia 125 sport bikes and have a race haha :D
What's the max speed of this bike I he's it struggles to achieve 70 the r125 does 85 the wr does 75 easy so if true Suzuki its nowhere near the best power to weight ratio!
I had the 150cc version from 2017 to 2019. I think it's a good bike, but the pillion seat is like a torture device than anything. You can't sit there for more than 5 minutes without hurting your butt and tailbone unless you're really small, like 5'2" or smaller.
Is it actually 15hp? Because it seems to me all new 125s are 11hp max. It's important to me =D I want to someday swap a 15hp engine with my 9hp engine I have now. No money for A2 & new bike and insurance but money for engines...always.
Bought one 6 days ago... GP COLOURS Best 125cc bike for short riders as I’m only 5’6 Comparing my last 125cc PRE ABS.. 14plate. YZF R125. This SUZUKI is far superior in both handling and features wise. Admittedly there is room for improvement such as.. Faster and Higher speed to beat every 125cc new or old. Bluetooth enable console. Superior Anti theft system Insurance approved Alarm and immobiliser as standard. More upgradable / Performance parts availability All in all a brilliant bike to complete with the Big names Top 125 bikes Not a bad attempt by Suzuki considering they haven’t had a 125cc for ages. Better still I got a Whole £500 off the list price. Infact ... £3600 on the road. A BARGAIN :p

Not glossing over the RS at all. Just comparing against new rivals - see our previous test with the RS versus the KTM RC!
44Teeth that's an old 2 stroke, not the Rs4 125.
The rs 4 stroke is overpriced garbage
But it's electronicly restricted ... In Belgium they only go to 110 km/h ... Yamaha , KTM go over that , and the aprilia has a 130 tire in the rear, still to smalle looking imo compared to the 150 tire in the ktm's

A A
And in a months time you'll want to sell that!! Went to the gp the other week and a mate has just got the mt09 couldn't keep up with a 99r6, 99 zx9r it's nuts to think Yamaha made a 900 that tops out at 129.
Garry Garry yeah mt09 isn't for the track. That's one of the reasons I chose it. The supersports urge you to go faster don't they? but the wind resistance on the MT keeps you in check + I like how you don't have to work hard to find to the torque. I'll probably keep the MT and get a 2008/09 gen r6 :D for the track. Also another downside to the MT is the tank size and fuel comp. I'm spending double what I did on the r125 for the same mileage.
I use a mt-125 on a daily basis, even though I have much bigger cc bikes, and love the way it can be utilised, even on motorways I don't feel underpowered, it's not allways about power... and I've held my license for 30 yrs this month...
jbird330 surely you must feel underpowered on the motorway? You'd probably (dependent on your weight) have to be giving it full beans just to maintain the national limit right? And no chance of touching 70 on an incline. But I do agree the 125s are great for town/city riding. Just out of interest, have you test ridden an MT07 or 09? It took me about 2-3 days to learn the dimensions of the MT for filtering (which I have to do on a daily basis on a commute through London). It feels almost as agile as an r125. It's weird, but I think jumping from a mini supersports prepares you much better for a larger CC bike than jumping from an upright 125. The fact that I'm now much more upright and on bigger rubber actually makes riding much easier (even though the MT09 is about 50kg heavier than a 125). It's just as good filtering through small gaps too.
A A what a well informed and interesting answer, nice to see that not all the people on you tube are idiots. I am very light, and with a few small modifications I find I can hold 75 mph (gps verified not speedo) no problem, yes your quite right I'm touching full whack but these bikes are built to be thrashed by teenagers, with little maintenance, so I have found no problems with reliability. Don't get me wrong I enjoy my blasts on my other bikes but I've got to say this little bike is a revelation to me. It's good to hear that your enjoying your ride and wish you well my friend.....
Looks absolutely cool! And feel like a little bit small? But still like it !
1:47 the new honda cub has keyless if that counts and it's a 125. I'm sure there are some scooters that do to.
I think a 3 cyl 250 or a 300 would be pretty good idea since a 250-300s are sorta gutless a 3 cyl would be a good balance between torque and top end
Nice blue colour good looking bike Suzuki GSXR 125r 👌
Jason Statham?! I'm a big fan of your movies. 😎
I remember back in 2001 I bought myself a brand new Aprilia RS 125 it was light years ahead of that pile of shit. Had USD forks chrome frame and Gullarm gorgeous. And it was genuinely fast with 33bhp.
Break down every other day though :P
QQGamerOG Yeah I will admit I got through a few pistons. Didn't break the bank to fix it though, and it was hilarious fun. Bought a gixer6 after that in almost the exact same colours as the bike in the video.
Well worth the money, Rs125s still make stupid power, I bet someone still rags your old one to this day. They aren't very reliable but I still own an Rs50, breaks in someway every time i breath near it but its 2 stroke sickness :D addicted to it now. Bored it to 85cc and sent off for it to be tuned, pulls a lot more than my R125, I'm convinced that it's probably quicker.
Whittle Moore Find me any other bike under 300cc with a chassis that good and I'll give you 1000€
Ditto, I had a spanker '98 Model. Kept up with my mates RDs and blew most bikes in corners. Needed re-boring every few months though and the most unreliable bike ever.
Jason Statham has changed a bit since the transporter
Nothing beats the second gen Aprilia RS125 with full power. I'm mechanically inept so still paid a mechanic to work on it though!
I remember riding it home after getting the power valve hooked up. I've been addicted to bikes ever since.
Only the aprilia RS250 they going for £10,000 for a half decent one
@@chris425amp7 my comment is in relation to the RS125cc, the 250 is another step or two up. I would love one.
@@jamsxr yes same 🤝🏻
Nothing has ever and will never get close to an aprilia RS125 when it comes to go gusset hunting on. Even if it was released now as it was back then. This gsxr 125 does look good I'll give it that....probably a tad more reliable as well
Chris Pritchard Maybe a Cagiva Mito? RS125 rides better anyway
Good bike but needs maintenance and looking after.
Most young riders just want to get on and not bother about maintenance
Hunting gussets!!? 😂😂😂
Don't pretend you don't know, Pritch
oh I know alright.... just never heard it referred to as that...
I would take this over the Grom any day.
What’s wrong with the 125 dragstar?!?!?! I used to love mine 😂
The yzf r125 is probably the most full, big looking 125. The cbr and gsxr are much smaller with seatheight and they look small. Not sure what the seating position is like on this bike but the cbr is basically an upright bike and the yzf is a leant over sport bike.
Nah mate the KTM RC feels even bigger than the Yamaha
I still miss my full power NSR 125RR....
I feel you man... I really do, my regret was letting go of my NSR 250 Rothman. NSR are Rockets not to mess with. even a higher CC bikes can get owned.
If you actually go back to south west karting, let us know beforehand! It's not far from me and would love to meet you guys! :D
Gsxr 125 buatan Indonesia bro dah di pakai di eropa. Mantab
GSX-S 125 vlog coming soon...? 👀
Looks mint but what 17 year old has got 4 grand in their back pocket especially if its a first bike
I think it's a combination of "We can slowly lower the price over the years and sell it to 17 year olds" and "Some old bastards with money burning their pockets who can't cope with more than a 300 will want this to still look cool".
Alex Clough I thought most of the 125cc bikes were around the £4k mark, I know the Yamaha and KTM sport bikes are more than £4k last time I looked
yep, i got my DRZ 400 for that, which after all the work ive done to it is 55bhp, a bit better than 15, new bikes are so overpriced.. at least not as bad as the car industry though xD
Not a bad way to build credit
LeOnMoTo Yeah I didn't quite get why all the comments are saying £4k is too much. They are never going to buy a new bike anyway so who cares, if people wanna pay £4k then let them and the rest of us can be them used 2 years later.
Like you said if people think bikes are expensive then I doubt they drive a car. You can buy a top of the range bike brand new for the price of a 5 year old Prius.
This is a lovely bike 😍
I am slightly suspicious that that "Jason Statham" is an imposter.
Hunting gusset love it
Hi. What is the best motorcycle for a go cart circuit. Thanks anyone.
Elie Nehme a red Hayabusa
"I am Jason Statham"
I think you're joking with us a lil bit 😆
my god that intro made me crack up in my workplace LMFAO
looks nice
I think this is the first-time that "if not there's something wrong with you" has applied to me
All of the sudden, I want a small displacement bike to go thrash around on. Cheers from Seattle.
Andrew Carpenter cheers from Tacoma!
Looks Aero, I like it!
At *Jason Statham* intro though 😂
I think the headlight zone front end look better than gsxr1k with that headlight egg shape
Looks bob on but if you're only using it to progress to bigger bikes then save your cash and get a dirty 2 stroke. I had an RS 125 eztrema back in the day. I know they may not be as reliable as a 4 stroke but they're definitely more fun and you'll learn more about your bike after rebuilding the Piston for the millionth time.
Nice looking motorcycle for a 125!
15bhp..as a learner.. that’s an obscene amount of power for a learner! It was 12bhp max as a learner when I were a lad.. Ffff..kids today ;)
Jason Statham; your voice is a lot more gentle here than in the movies. For your next small-capacity motorcycle review, could you use your movie voice please?
Jason, what's happened to you over summer mate!?!
Rumor is the 18 hp 150cc version is coming to USA (GSX-R150)
Little did they know only months later they would choose it for their Freetech Adventures.
Funny you mention rebuilding two strokes, I have had an rs50 on the road for a few weeks and i've had the fairings off about 9 times already. What can I say apart from 'APRILLIA'
Hoping to sell my CB125F after the DAS
You should get couple more people and head to a out door go kart track on the Suzuki, honda, yamaha, ktm and aprilia 125 sport bikes and have a race haha :D
How narrow do they want this tyres
If you're not living on the (razor's) edge, then you're taking up too much room.
Errmm.. Most of 2017 Honda 125 scooters has keyless ignition.
What's the max speed of this bike I he's it struggles to achieve 70 the r125 does 85 the wr does 75 easy so if true Suzuki its nowhere near the best power to weight ratio!
is it really a 125cc ? i think it is 150cc
No fn way! You're Jason Statham?!
I had the 150cc version from 2017 to 2019. I think it's a good bike, but the pillion seat is like a torture device than anything. You can't sit there for more than 5 minutes without hurting your butt and tailbone unless you're really small, like 5'2" or smaller.
why only 125
Is it actually 15hp? Because it seems to me all new 125s are 11hp max.
It's important to me =D I want to someday swap a 15hp engine with my 9hp engine I have now. No money for A2 & new bike and insurance but money for engines...always.
I'm getting the Gsx r150 and its 2800 grand where i live...europe is crazy with the prices
My Suzuki RG125 gamma, brand new in 1987 was 24 bhp and weighed only 109kg! Pity I binned it.....repeatedly.
Isnt that gsxr 150??
Nice intro tune. What is it?
Pongomusic
Not to take away from the video... but is there any more to the intro tune? Sounds better than the bike does that's for sure.
i just took a drink and almost chocked when you said finger girls from laughing hahaha
YZF-R125 still kicks ass!
Bought one 6 days ago... GP COLOURS
Best 125cc bike for short riders as I’m only 5’6
Comparing my last 125cc
PRE ABS.. 14plate. YZF R125.
This SUZUKI is far superior in both handling and features wise.
Admittedly there is room for improvement such as..
Faster and Higher speed to beat every 125cc new or old.
Bluetooth enable console.
Superior Anti theft system
Insurance approved Alarm and immobiliser as standard.
More upgradable / Performance parts availability
All in all a brilliant bike to complete with the Big names Top 125 bikes
Not a bad attempt by Suzuki considering they haven’t had a 125cc for ages.
Better still I got a Whole £500 off the list price.
Infact ... £3600 on the road.
A BARGAIN :p
I can do you one worse, i had a Direct Bikes Eagle 125.. it fell apart quite literally, brakes were gone, rear shocks gone, centre stand fell off.
