Overview
The Suzuki DR 125SM is a supermoto produced from 2009 to 2014. The 2014 model has an air-cooled, fuel-injected 124 cm³ single-cylinder four-stroke engine producing 11 hp (8 kW) and 9.5 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm, with a wet weight of 130 kg.
Its 836 mm seat height puts the rider relatively high, while 260 mm of ground clearance helps clear uneven surfaces. The 9 L tank holds a limited amount of fuel, and the kick-only starter means there is no electric-start backup; the 11 hp output is modest, with peak torque arriving at 7,500 rpm.

Pros and cons
Advantages
High ground clearance
The 260 mm clearance helps the bike pass over uneven ground without the underside sitting close to obstacles.
Fuel injection
Fuel injection meters fuel electronically, rather than relying on a carburetor.
Things to consider
Kick-only starting
Starting requires the kick lever, with no electric starter as an alternative.
High seat
At 836 mm, the seat can make it harder for shorter riders to put their feet down.
Limited tank capacity
The 9 L tank leaves less fuel aboard between fill-ups.
