Overview

Introducing the 2007 Husqvarna SM 125 S, a thrilling entry in the super motard category that perfectly balances agility and performance. Tailored for both urban commuting and spirited weekend rides, this motorcycle promises an exhilarating experience for riders who crave a blend of off-road heritage and street-savvy design. With its striking aesthetics and lightweight frame, the SM 125 S captures attention while also delivering a fun-to-ride experience, making it an ideal choice for novice riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike. At the heart of the Husqvarna SM 125 S lies a potent single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that boasts a displacement of 125cc. This spirited powerplant generates a lively 15 HP at 9,500 RPM, providing an exciting rush of acceleration that can take on the twistiest of roads. The engine's 8.8:1 compression ratio ensures that power delivery is both responsive and thrilling, while the 6-speed gearbox allows for a versatile riding experience, whether you're zipping through city streets or carving out curves on backroads. The bike’s lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 113.5 kg, combined with its liquid cooling system, enhances its performance, keeping the engine running smoothly even in demanding conditions. The SM 125 S is equipped with advanced features that elevate its riding dynamics. The double tube cradle frame, made from robust steel, provides stability and durability, while the upside-down telescopic front fork and progressive rear suspension offer an impressive 260 mm and 282 mm of travel respectively, ensuring that bumps in the road are absorbed with ease. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring powerful single-disc brakes with 2-piston calipers at both the front (260 mm) and rear (220 mm) that deliver confident stopping power. Additionally, the bike boasts a ground clearance of 265 mm, allowing riders to tackle rough terrain while maintaining excellent maneuverability on paved roads. **

  • Exciting Performance: The 125cc engine delivers a punchy performance with quick acceleration, perfect for riders seeking thrill and agility.
  • Versatile Suspension: With adjustable suspension components, the bike adapts well to various riding conditions, ensuring a comfortable ride whether on city streets or trails.
