Description
Suzuki SX125R – Rare Japanese Dual-Sport Restoration Project
A genuine Suzuki SX125R offered as a restoration/ project motorcycle, legally registered in Sri Lanka with clear ownership documents.
The motorcycle retains its original character and many original components. During my ownership it received a new battery, new tyres, and an engine overhaul. Following the engine work, the motorcycle was running well; however, it is currently not starting and will require inspection of the carburettor and wiring harness before returning to reliable running condition.
I am deliberately listing the motorcycle transparently as a project rather than presenting it as a ready-to-ride machine. This makes it particularly suitable for a Suzuki enthusiast, Japanese motorcycle collector, or someone looking for an interesting dual-sport restoration.
The rear tail section has some repaired patches. An original replacement rear component can also be supplied with the motorcycle.
I have owned the bike for approximately one year and covered roughly 5, 000 km during my ownership.

I am selling because my current professional commitments leave me insufficient time to continue the restoration and maintenance work.
Delivery within Sri Lanka can be arranged. For an international buyer, I am willing to cooperate with collection, export and shipping arrangements at the buyer's cost.
The SX125R represents the lightweight, simple and distinctive character of older Japanese dual-sport motorcycles — a style of machine that is becoming increasingly difficult to find complete and legally registered.
I originally bought this motorcycle because I appreciated its combination of classic Suzuki engineering, lightweight trail-bike character and restoration potential.
What makes this example attractive is that it is not an incomplete basket-case project. The motorcycle is substantially complete, retains many original components, has clear legal documentation, and has already benefited from significant work including an engine overhaul, new battery and new tyres.
For the right enthusiast, the remaining carburettor and electrical work represents an opportunity to finish the motorcycle properly and preserve an increasingly uncommon Suzuki.
Rather than continuing the project without the time it deserves, I would prefer to see it go to someone who genuinely appreciates older Japanese motorcycles and can complete the restoration.
For a collector or enthusiast looking for something different from the usual mass-market classic motorcycle, this SX125R offers an interesting and rewarding starting point.
