MCN’s Acting Consumer Editor, Dan Sutherland, will be riding the new Suzuki GSX-S125 this coming Thursday at its European launch.

Part of Suzuki’s latest venture into the low capacity market, the £3699 (launch price) naked 125 shares the same 124.4cc double overhead cam, single-cylinder motor as the sporty new GSX-R125 and aims to be the perfect tool for riding through the urban sprawl.

With upright bars and a claimed best power-to-weight ratio and acceleration of any naked 125, Suzuki say the GSX-S will do an impressive 122.82 miles per gallon.

For a little added security when stationary, the bike has also been fitted with a shutter-key lock system, which will mask the ignition slot until a bike-specific fob has been pushed into a receiver to release it.

Check back on our social media channels on Thursday to discover our first thoughts of the bike and read the full report in next Wednesday’s MCN.

News Editor - I joined the MCN team straight from studying at the University of Sheffield, starting out as Acting Consumer Editor, before becoming the Senior Online Reporter, Senior Writer and more recently the News Editor. Although my first love will always be performance bikes and racing, I have a passion for all things two-wheeled. I did my Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) on my 16th birthday and passed my full test around a year later. I now cover around 20,000 road miles a year on motorcycles of all genres and in all weathers. I have also experienced elements of advanced rider training, tackled countless UK and international short circuits and achieved an ACU race licence to begin a fledgling competition career.
