Suzuki GSX-R 125 2022

Maybe not in comparison with its big sisters, but in this class the GSX-R125 still passes for a real super sports bike. With a power output of 15 hp and a 6-speed gearbox, the Gixxer accelerates briskly towards the horizon, up to 125 km/h, thanks to its low weight of 134 kg. The lowest weight in the class also has a positive effect on the riding dynamics; the GSX-R125 can be thrown playfully from bend to bend. Only when the going gets really fast do you wish you had more feeling for the front wheel and better brakes.

All in all, the R7 is a very good beginner's track bike that prepared me for track riding in a safe, pleasant and in no way strenuous way and accompanied me along the way. The pleasant yet track-ready ergonomics, the light weight, the fantastic tyres, brakes and suspension components and the torquey engine at low and medium revs allowed me to correct mistakes that most novice track riders make, and all without bringing me down, scaring me, scaring me or even making me throw in the towel.
