Our friends at Motorcyclespecs.com said: The gap between 125 and 250 dual-purpose machines is a hard one to fill. The manufacturer must decide to design his machine to include the best features of the 125 (light weight, nimble handling, low cost) along with the desirable qualities of a 250 (lots of power and torque). This "in-between" sized motorcycle can make an owner very happy if it's been Cone properly, and Suzuki's Sierra fills the bill. Starting with the basics of their off-road 125 model, such as (he frame, Suzuki was off to a good beginning. They needed only to refine here and strengthen there so that the once 125 could accept the now more powerful new I83cc engine unit. But don't get the wrong idea. The 185 Suzuki may have borrowed some items from the smaller 125. but it's an altogether different motorcycle to ride and enjoy. It's got a personality all its own. The frame, taken from the 125 Duster, has been strengthened and reinforced in areas of stress created by the new engine. A single tube and down tube the steering head, while a pair of smaller tubes extend under the engine and curl up to join with the top tube. This main frame section is amply cross-braced to provide rigidity and prevent flexing. Seat, rear fender and shocks mount to the sub frame and swinging arm.section. A perforated, stamped steel skid plate attaches to the frame for rock protection. Welds left something to be desired, but the black finish was applied nicely. The forks do a good job of soaking up the little undulations along a backWoods trail, but at the same time they don't gel snowed by the huge thud of a jump or the crashing blow of a deep hole. Over rippling surfaces the rear shocks don't pump up and quit working, and as a result the rear end of the machine doesn't hop all over the trail with the rider fighting for control. You guide the Sierra, it doesn't guide you Steel rims( 19-inch front. 18-inch rear) might be heavier than comparably sized alloy units, but they resist dings more easily and don't clog with mud. The wheels on the Sierra come with rim locks and balance weights, something you don't find on many din bikes . A nice touch, we think. The brakes on our 185 test machine surprised us. The front unit is quite small but stopped much belter than we thought it would. The rear unit. too. is light weight, yet it really works. So often brakes of this size give problems when it's lime to slow down. The ones on the Sierra had lots of feel so that the rider could descend a steep hill without locking the wheels, an important asset on any dirt machine. Also, they allow' a rider a margin of safety when riding on the street. Call our shop at 860-454-7024 if you have any questions!
