The GTS 125 Super was the sportier fuel-injected 125 on the large GT platform, aimed at taller riders than the LX-based 125s. Styling cues were a grille on the right side panel, two-tone alloy wheels, a different seat, black headlight surround and a red front spring. Service intervals were stretched and reviewers praised its handling and strong engine for the class.
