In late December 1998, just days before New Year, Suzuki announced that they have launched two new scooters, the 125cc ”Avenis” and the 150cc ”Avenis 150”. Suzuki Avenis 125 (CG43A) was s a mid-sized scooter equipped with a 124 cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke single-cylinder engine. It had 12-inch wheels front and rear, for ease of maneuverability and driving stability. The rear wheels were equipped with a parking brake. The Avenis was equipped with a newly designed water-cooled 4-stroke single-cylinder SOHC engine. With a maximum output of 14PS, it enables light and smooth driving by combining it with the combining it with the V-belt automatic transmission. It had telescopic front forks and a hydraulic disc brake at the front. The design of the Avenis was cons elegant and sporty with a sporty mini visor (windshield), large headlamps, and characteristic turingn signals. There was a spacious 24-liter storage space under the seat. Refueling the 9-liter tank was possible without having to open the seat. The Avenis 125 was a short-lived model, it was discontinued after only two years of production. Its sibling model, the Avenis 150, was a bit more popular and lived on a few more years. But the model name Avenis 125 was not all forgotten, it was brought up again in after 20 years of obvilion, when the 2022 Avenis 125 (UN125) was launched.
