Advanced 125cc Engine with VVA

The single-cylinder engine also delivers excellent fuel economy.

Smooth body panels and a flat motocross-style seat allow riders to easily move their body weight forward when cornering and backward when tackling off-road obstacles. Wide motocross-style footpegs contribute to excellent stability and confidence in a variety of conditions.
