Across the 1997, 1998 and 1999 model years, the Suzuki GS 125 ES motorcycle has supplied dry weights ranging from 224.9 lb (102 kg) to 257.9 lb (117 kg).
Suzuki GS 125 ES weight overview
Its low overall mass should be most noticeable off the throttle: moving it by hand, backing out of a parking space and managing stop-start riding should take less effort than on a heavy road bike. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Suzuki GS 125 ES weight FAQ
What is the Suzuki GS 125 ES dry weight?
The available dry weight is 224.9 lb (102 kg) to 257.9 lb (117 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Is the Suzuki GS 125 ES lighter or heavier than other Suzuki allround models?
It is comparatively light for this Suzuki category. The model lands near the 4th percentile for weight in the compatible dataset.
Which Suzuki GS 125 ES years have different weight specs?
The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 1997-1999 model years. Use the year-specific changes section above for the exact value attached to each changed year.
How much does a full tank add to the Suzuki GS 125 ES?
Based on the supplied 2.91 US gal (11 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 18.1 lb (8.2 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Suzuki GS 125 ES and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 404.9 lb (183.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Suzuki GS 125 ES power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 5.43 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower. That places it around the 19th percentile within the compatible Suzuki allround power-to-weight comparison.
Is the listed Suzuki GS 125 ES weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 276 lb (125.2 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How heavy is the Suzuki GS 125 ES after filling the fuel tank?
Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 276 lb (125.2 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.
How much torque does the Suzuki GS 125 ES have per 100 lb?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 3.28 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications. Confirm critical figures in the owner’s manual or on the official Suzuki Cycles website.
