2011
The 2011 Husqvarna WR 125 is a two-stroke enduro motorcycle aimed at riders looking for a lightweight and agile off-road machine. Part of Husqvarna's long-standing WR lineage, known for its racing pedigree, the 2011 model continued to offer a competitive package in the 125cc two-stroke class. It directly competed with models like the Yamaha YZ125 and KTM 125 SX, offering a distinct alternative with its own handling characteristics and styling.
At the heart of the WR 125 lies a 124.8 ccm (7.62 cubic inches) engine. This displacement provides ample power for navigating challenging trails. The fuel tank has a capacity of 8.10 litres (2.14 US gallons), allowing for decent range during off-road excursions. While specific horsepower figures may vary based on tuning and conditions, the engine is designed to provide a responsive and punchy power delivery typical of two-stroke motors, requiring the rider to be actively involved in managing the powerband.
The WR 125 is built for off-road riding. The light weight contributes to its maneuverability and responsiveness on tight trails. The suspension is designed to absorb bumps and jumps, providing a relatively comfortable ride even on rough terrain. The rider position is aggressive, suited to stand-up riding and aggressive cornering. The seat is narrow and firm, common for enduro bikes, prioritizing control over long-distance comfort.
The 2011 Husqvarna WR 125 is best suited for younger riders transitioning from smaller bikes, or experienced riders who enjoy the challenges and rewards of riding a lightweight two-stroke. It's ideal for those who spend most of their time on trails and in the woods, and who appreciate the raw feel and direct connection of a two-stroke engine. It offers a focused off-road experience.
