I'm a rider to share, don't blow or talk about motorcycles.
The small pedal of 125cc is about to usher in a wave of retro trends, because in addition to the new Continent Honda's NS125LA and construction of Yamaha's new Qiaoge i, Wuyang Honda will also have a model that will be launched in May, and at the same time, Jinan Qingqi Suzuki, which has not launched a new product for a long time, will also make a move.
Recently, some media broke the news that Qingqi Suzuki declared a retro small pedal with a round and flattering shape at the China Intellectual Property Office, but the car is not the Suzuki Saluto125 that has been rumored on the Internet for a long time, because their details are completely different, so the model is very likely to be a self-developed model after Jinan Suzuki borrowed.
As we all know, among the four major Japanese car manufacturers, Kawasaki is the only brand that does not have a scooter, in addition, whether it is Suzuki or Yamaha or Honda have related models, even if the product line is not so rich Suzuki, there will be a more well-known Hamburger series.
And Suzuki's retro small pedals, in addition to the Saluto 125 we mentioned earlier, there is also a model that literally translates to "address" 125. The overall silhouette of both cars is very rounded, mainly due to the slight difference in front styling and detail performance.
But judging from the patent pictures, the unknown 125 small pedal of this model declared by Qingqi Suzuki is not one of them, but more just borrowing the style of the two, highlighting the retro elements, and then achieving the purpose of filling the gap in the model and being able to call for the board with friends.
In terms of appearance, I found after repeated observation that the retro small pedal declared by the light riding Suzuki belongs to the combination of the previous two models, which basically follows the body shape of the Suzuki Saluto125, and integrates the headlights of the address 125, and at the same time redesigns the front panel shape and lamp group layout, which can be clearly distinguished.
As far as the current appearance of the car is concerned, it is in the same class of models, the vehicle coordination and retro artistic conception presented is still relatively good, if the mass production stage is matched with appropriate painting and decorative elements, then it can completely compete with competing products in the appearance of the performance.
In terms of powertrain, the powertrain of the car will almost certainly inherit the U-series SEP super core engine, which will be air-cooled and will retain the foot starter. The engine has good stability, low fuel consumption, and relatively smooth operation, with a maximum power of 6.9KW and a maximum torque of 10N·m.
It's just that compared with Honda's newly developed ESP powertrain, it will be inferior in terms of technology application and data display. After all, the latter already has pulse ignition and idle start-stop functions, and the maximum power has also reached 7KW, so this shortcoming is very obvious. However, Suzuki's overseas version of the 125 scooter basically uses the same engine as the UY125, so there is nothing to worry about.
In terms of configuration, because it is only a patent application for the appearance, there is not much information available, but in the usual style of the light riding Suzuki, the car will not be too rich, nothing more than LCD meters, LED headlights, front disc and rear drums, etc. It is unclear whether ABS can be fitted.
In addition, the structure of this car will basically be the same as the existing U-series and will not be significantly adjusted, so the large fuel tank you expect should not appear.
The above is a brief interpretation of the new retro scooter of Jinan Qingqi Suzuki, the biggest attraction of the car will be reflected in, different from the existing model of the vehicle look, as for other aspects will not have much surprise. And with the launch of this car, Haojue's retro scooter should soon also surface, which makes the 125 just need users have more options, so sit back and wait to eat melons.
