HUSQVARNA WR 125 (2010-2011) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, the Swedish motorcycle maker released the Husqvarna WR 125, an entry-level off-road motorcycle designed for the youngest and less experienced riders but also suitable for the more experienced ones looking for a fun, light, and agile machine.

Husqvarna was a Swedish manufacturer of outdoor power products, such as lawnmowers, chainsaws, trimmers, brush cutters, cultivators, garden tractors, and, why not, motorcycles. The company was founded in 1689 as a firearm manufacturer and was one of the oldest continuously running companies in the world.

The Husqvarna WR 125 was a motorcycle based on the Husqvarna CR model, prepared for the European enduro, which packed a 125cc two-stroke engine. The bike was often confused with the Husqvarna WRE, produced in 125cc only.

The bike was built around a steel frame with an alloy rear subframe. It housed the suspension system, which comprised an inverted adjustable Marzocchi fork on the front and an adjustable Sachs shock on the rear.

Visually, the motorcycle had standard fittings, such as a tiny headlight integrated into a small cowl, a high-mounted front fender, hand guards, a single seat, a single exhaust system, a dual-sided swingarm, and wire-spoke wheels with off-road tires.

As for power, the 2010 Husqvarna WR 125 had installed a 124cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine under the fuel tank, fed by a 41 mm Mikuni carburetor and assisted by a six-speed transmission.
