The natural riding position means the Suzuki GN125’s comfortable, even over longer distances. Suspension is on the soft side but manages to deal with everyday roads but the brakes (especially the front) lack bite. Handling’s light and the ride’s confidence-inspiring and stable.

The Suzuki GN125 engine’s taken from the earlier GS125 machine which came out in 1984, so it’s safe to say it’s proved itself. A simple but reliable single, it’s nippy enough in town although runs out of breath on the open road and hills can present a problem if you’re in a hurry. The Suzuki GN125 can be stroppy when starting from cold. Needs plenty of revs.
The Suzuki GN125 is a tough little bike with a trusted engine and chassis. The finish isn’t marvellous: rust around welds and shoddy paintwork are common complaints. However, the Suzuki GN125's styling’s cute and nice touches include chrome indicator stalks and mirrors. A lack of cheap plastic gives the Suzuki GN125 some retro appeal.
