2008 Suzuki RM125

The perfect transition from the 85cc class to the larger four-strokes returns to the Suzuki lineup in 2008. Value for performance has always been the hallmark of the 125cc class. Maintenance is also simplified and straightforward on any two-stroke, especially the 125 two-stroke.

For 2008, Suzuki offers the RM125 with a gripper seat that is standard and race ready. The graphic scheme is also redesigned to be simpler and longer lasting. Powering the RM125 is a liquidcooled 124cc, reed-valve induction, two-stroke. The bore and stroke of the cylinder is 54.0mm x 54.5mm and has Suzuki’s Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) on the cylinder walls. This helps transfer heat to the coolant quickly and efficiently, while adding durability and lightweight to the
engine construction.
