HUSQVARNA SM 125 S (2000-2001) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2000, the Swedish motorcycle maker introduced the Husqvarna SM 125 S, a motorcycle for less experienced riders who wanted a machine with the unmistakable feel and sound of a two-stroke engine.

Husqvarna Group was a Swedish manufacturer of outdoor power products, including chainsaws, brush cutters, robotic lawnmowers, trimmers, cultivators, garden tractors, and motorcycles. The company was founded in 1689 as a firearm manufacturer and was one of the oldest continuously running companies in the world.

At its core, the 2000 Husqvarna SM 125 S had a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a Dell'Orto carburetor and assisted by a six-speed manual gearbox and a final chain drive.

The bike was built around a steel frame, which comprised the suspension system. The front end was controlled by a 45 mm inverted Marzocchi telescopic fork, and the rear end by a single progressive shock absorber.

Regarding braking power, the motorcycle's wheels were fitted with a 260 mm brake disc on the front and a 220 mm rotor on the rear. Both discs were clamped by dual-piston calipers.

In the aesthetic department, the 2000 SM 125 S model was characterized by standard fittings, like a high-mounted front fender, a small rectangular headlight integrated into a small cowl, a single seat, a single exhaust with a silencer mounted high on the right-hand side, and wire-spoke wheels with road tires.
