Suzuki GB has announced the release of an updated Address 125 scooter, with a revised engine that produces more peak torque lower down the rev range, courtesy of changes to its camshaft profile and airbox. There’s also a revised frame, which is lighter, new wheels, and a new fuel tank that is both larger and lighter. Practicality is further boosted by an increase in underseat storage space.
Though the bodywork has been restyled, the Address 125 continues to embody classic scooter design. At its heart remains Suzuki’s Eco Performance engine (SEP), which has a proven track record for both performance and reliability, and already powers over seven million Suzuki scooters, globally.
The newest version meets the latest Euro 5+ emissions standards, achieving 148.6mpg, emitting just 45 g/km of CO₂. Peak torque increases to 10.2Nm and is now made at 5,000rpm, – compared to 10Nm at 5,500rpm on the previous model – and peak power is 8.4PS, made 250rpm further down the rev range than before, at 6,500rpm, resulting in punchier acceleration performance.
Changes to the camshaft profile improve combustion efficiency and engine performance. Specifically, the intake cam lifts higher to increase the amount of air intake, while the exhaust cam timing was adjusted to minimise overlap. The airbox capacity has also increased 10%, and one of the two exhaust catalytic converters has been eliminated.
Further measures to improve fuel efficiency include the adoption of an electromagnetic steel plate for the stator core, a change in the fuel injector mounting angle, modification of the CVT settings, and a lower idling rpm. The engine starts up more quietly thanks to the change from an overrunning clutch to a roller type one-way clutch, and the crankshaft was revised to accommodate this change.
An updated underbone frame is 1kg lighter than the previous version, and increases torsional rigidity by 25%. The result is contribution to excellent fuel economy, stability, and cornering performance. The modifications to the frame – which also saw the rear suspension pivot point moved higher and further back – also enabled other improvements, such as a larger under seat storage compartment, a larger airbox, and a bigger fuel tank. Despite increasing capacity from five to 5.3 litres, the new fuel tank is 25% lighter.
A combined braking system sees braking force distributed to both the front and rear wheels – with a 190mm disc at the front and a 120mm drum at the rear – when the left brake lever is operated.
Rider and pillion comfort is improved via a new seat and new pillion footpegs which are lighter and 15mm longer. There’s a wide, spacious floorboard for riders to adjust their feet position, and a new steel leg shield extends further to offer protection in case of a drop. There’s also a steel front mudguard.
The unique tail-mounted fuel cap of the previous model remains, but is now concealed via a colour-coded cap, which opens with the ignition key.
Underseat storage space is increased from 21.8 litres to 24.4 litres, and a second inner storage pocket has been added up front, with one housing a USB charging port, and there are two utility hooks to hang bags and two helmet hooks under the seat.
A sidestand and centre stand are standard equipment, and standard security features include a shutter that covers the ignition key hole that is opened by a magnet mechanism coded to the owners’ key.
Still wearing classic scooter styling, the rectangular headlight has been reshaped and boasts a classy chrome surround, and a new LED, U-shaped position light sits centrally below the Suzuki emblem, and is flanked by two additional LED position lights with integrated indicators. There’s also a U-shaped, LED rear taillight.
The 2026 Address 125 comes in Metallic Matt Stellar Blue, Pearl Grace White, and Metallic Matt Black No.2. It is available now with an OTR price of £2,599.
