Suzuki TS 125 weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

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.

What the weight numbers tell you

The listed fuel tank capacity is 1.85 US gal (7 L) to 2.11 US gal (8 L). A full tank of gasoline is estimated to weigh about 11.5 lb (5.2 kg) to 13.1 lb (6 kg); this fuel mass is already part of a wet/running weight figure.
The supplied data shows model-year weight differences, so the safest figure is the one attached to your exact year rather than a single all-years number.
Where both power and weight are available, the model works out to 2.98 hp per 100 lb to 4.15 hp per 100 lb. This makes cross-size comparisons more meaningful than raw horsepower by itself.

Suzuki TS 125 weight FAQ

What is the Suzuki TS 125 wet weight?

The supplied wet/running weight is 231.5 lb (105 kg) to 233.7 lb (106 kg) across the model years covered here. That figure is the most useful available number for real-world handling because operating fluids and fuel are included.

Which Suzuki TS 125 years have different weight specs?

The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 1974-1978 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 TS 125?

Based on the supplied 1.85 US gal (7 L) to 2.11 US gal (8 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 11.5 lb (5.2 kg) to 13.1 lb (6 kg) when full. On models with a wet/running weight, that fuel mass is already included in the listed ready-to-ride figure.

What is the combined Suzuki TS 125 and rider weight?

Using the model’s representative wet/running weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 411.5 lb (186.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.

What is the Suzuki TS 125 power-to-weight ratio?

Available model-year data produces 2.98 hp per 100 lb to 4.15 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower.

How much of the Suzuki TS 125 total weight comes from fuel?

The calculated full-tank fuel mass is about 5% to 5.6% of the listed motorcycle weight. Because the available basis is wet/running weight, that fuel is already included in the ready-to-ride figure.

What is the Suzuki TS 125 engine-size-to-weight ratio?

The available figures work out to 0.53 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.

Where will I notice the Suzuki TS 125 weight most?

The weight itself is unlikely to be the main difficulty. Rider reach, steering lock and where the mass sits may matter more at walking pace.
