Suzuki has, rightly or wrongly, developed quite a reputation for itself for, let’s just say taking it easy when it comes to innovation. The company’s modern-day lineup of bikes, including those sitting at what many would consider as the upper echelons of performance, continue to rock engines dating back to the early 2000s, with enhancements composed of adhering to emission standards far and few in between.

For the 2022 model year, Suzuki has updated the GSX-S125, the naked version of the popular GSX-R125 sport bike.
