2026 Suzuki DR-Z125L Champion Yellow No. 2

Well suited for young and smaller stature riders the 2026 DR-Z125L can take on the dirt like a larger, more expensive bike. Large-diameter 19-inch front and 16-inch rear tires, as well as a front disc brake, deliver big bike performance to a size-appropriate motorcycle. The DR-Z125L is the perfect platform to build essential riding skills upon, thanks to a true manual clutch and a five-speed transmission.
