OSSATR 125 I

The 2016 OSSATR 125 I represents a focused entry into the lightweight, two-stroke motorcycle segment. This model continues a lineage of accessible and agile machines, catering to riders seeking a straightforward and responsive experience. In its category, the OSSATR 125 I found itself competing directly with other 125cc two-stroke offerings such as the Aprilia RS 125 and various enduro-derived 125cc models, all vying for attention from new riders and those prioritizing minimal weight and lively power delivery.

At the heart of the OSSATR 125 I is its 124.9 ccm (7.62 cubic inches) single-cylinder, two-stroke engine. This compact powerplant is designed for immediate throttle response, a characteristic often associated with two-stroke motors. The motorcycle boasts an exceptionally low dry weight of just 64.5 kg (142.2 pounds), contributing significantly to its nimble feel. Fuel capacity is a modest 2.60 litres (0.69 US gallons), indicating its intended use for shorter rides or as a city commuter where frequent refueling is less of a concern.

Riding characteristics of the OSSATR 125 I are heavily influenced by its minimal mass and compact dimensions. The low seat height, at 655 mm (25.8 inches) in its lowest adjustable setting, makes it particularly approachable for riders of varying statures, ensuring confident foot placement at stops. The lightweight design translates to effortless maneuverability, making it well-suited for navigating congested urban environments or tight turns on winding roads. Its upright stance and minimalist design suggest a focus on functional ergonomics rather than aggressive sport riding or long-distance comfort.

The OSSATR 125 I 2016 is primarily aimed at new riders, urban commuters, or enthusiasts who appreciate the simplicity and distinct character of a small-displacement two-stroke engine. Its low weight and accessible seat height make it an excellent choice for learning the ropes of motorcycling. While not designed for high-speed touring, its agility and responsive engine make it a capable and enjoyable machine for daily commutes and recreational rides where light weight and engaging feedback are prioritized.
