Suzuki U. K. offers a GSX-125 that sells for $5224 U. S. and weighs 266 pounds. While the weight is tolerable for a modern 125 with all the bells and whistles the price is prohibitive for the U. S. market. You'd have to really, really want a 125 to justify the cost especially since you can get a 390 KTM for the same money.

This is why we'll never see them in the U. S.--unless tiered licensing were to become commonplace and give us a reason to buy one.
