Fuel injection offers the best blend of fuel for a number of conditions, and this also means quick cold starts. It has an impressive 103 mpg * and a 1.7-gallon fuel tank, so you're getting a lot of space, too.


Automatic Convenience

There's space for two people on the Zuma 125 's seats and there's also plenty of locking storage underneath. The step-through floorboards make getting on and off a breeze, too. It has a plush and roomy riding position with a narrow seat design for easier flat-footing at stops, and plenty of leg space in front of the rider's seat. The passenger will also have reliable handholds that blend well into the body design of the Zuma 125.


Modern Reliability

Simple wet-sump lubrication is used for durability and simple maintenance. A forced-air-cooling system helps keep engine temperatures under control, even while idling at stoplights, for maximum efficiency and longer engine life.


Ready to Get Dirty

Oiled-paper-type air filters help trap dirt before it gets to your engine, even when riding on unpaved roads. The V-belt has its own off-road-style wet foam air filter for dependability.


Clean-Running Design

The upswept muffler utilizes exhaust catalyst technology to reduce air emissions and comply with emission regulations. 


Chassis/Suspension Features

Sturdy Steel Frame: a robust steel tube frame that is light but strong and features a step-through design for easy mounting. The two-stage electrostatic painting process provides a robust, corrosion-resistant finish.

Generous Fuel Range

The fuel tank holds 1.7 gallons for plenty of cruising range. The fuel tank emissions system includes a charcoal canister to control gasoline evaporation and reduce air pollution.


Heavy-Duty Tires and Wheels

Thick 120/70-12 front and 130/70-12 rear tires have a rough-looking block pattern for better handling on unpaved roads and on the streets. Tires run on lightweight, 5-spoke die-cast aluminum wheels.


High-Quality Braking

The 245 mm hydraulic front disc and the 200 mm rear disc brakes deliver lots of stopping power, while the wave-type front rotor style adds cutting-edge design. 


Additional Features

Two bright and aggressive halogen headlights light the way. The sculpted bodywork is effortlessly wrapping around the aggressive lighting style.
