In August 2006 Suzuki Motor Indonesia officially launched Spin 125, its first automatic scooter with a 125cc engine. The first generation of the Spin 125 (2006–2008) had spoked wire wheels. The small scooters came with a a compact, slim and sporty design with horizontal elongated turn signals on the front fender. The headlamp is still on the head and the sharp rear light typical of Suzuki at that time followed the lines of the body design. The first version came in two variants, Spin 125 (UY125S) and Spin 125R (UY125SL), both carrying 14-spoke rims and disc front brakes. The Spin 125 carried a one-color theme and was aimed at the women's market while the Spin 125R targeted men, with a two-tone color on the seat and a gray lower body cover on the seat. The 125R brake caliper was gold anodized and the rear light was smoke-tinted, while the Spin 125 caliper was black and the rear light was not tinted. The Spin 125R had also more exclusive, sporty looking key A few months later, the Suzuki Spin 125SR was launched as a new variant with a two-tone color scheme and cast wheels. The 6-spoke wheels, gold disc calipers, red center disc and rear shocks absorbers gave the scooter a sportier look. Suzuki launched a Night Ride (NR) Special Edition of the Spin 125 in 2007. There were no mechanical changes, the Night Rider livery just looked more luxurious and exclusive with a combination of black and gold writing lists. The same treatment was also given to the Shogun 125, Skywave 125, and Smash 110. They all were launched as a Night Rider Special Edition. The Suzuki Spin 125, Spin 125R, and Spin NR were all discontinued in 2008 and replaced with the facelift version. In early 2008, the New Spin 125 was launched with a mild facelift, featuring contours on the headlight housing and a lens cover were redesigned for better aerodynamics. The striping featured a feminine and energetic floral motive to attract women, and a macho tribal motif targeting men. In the final generation of the Spin, the exhaust header was upgraded to a more durable material, and the number of splines on the driveshaft was increased to 20, from 18 in the previous version. The drum brake assembly also underwent changes. A new drum brake design was adopted, the same type of brake that was used in the Suzuki Skywave and Skydrive models. Another special edition of the Spin 125, the Daytona Edition was launched in Indonesia in February 2011, as a sportier special version of the 125cc scooter . It was released in February 2011 alongside a limited edition Suzuki Skydrive to give the model range a fresher and sportier look. Equipped with special graphic decals and design details developed in collaboration with or inspired by tuning brand Daytona for a more aggressive look. The Daytona Edition received a carbon-look body kit on the front nose, on side body covers and on the tail lamp cover, located next to the tail lights. The bike has also got Daytona striping, and a Daytona logo. The bike’s production run lasted about three years, from 2008 to 2011, after which it was discontinued and replaced by the Suzuki NEX. Throughout its five-year presence in Indonesia (2006–2011), the Spin enjoyed a period of popularity. The bike was selling quite well. However, it was eventually overshadowed by its competitors, such as Yamaha Mio and the Vario 110. The subsequent arrival of the Honda Beat in 2008 further squeezed its position in the market.

The New Spin 125 facelift was launched in Indonesia in early 2008. It brought a variety of visual, technical, and structural updates to the scooter before production eventually wrapped up around 2011. There were both cosmetic and mechanical changes made. The noticable visual changes were redesign of the front headlight casing and lens cover with smoother, more aerodynamic curves and the new gender-targeted striping Themes. Suzuki launched graphic designs, offering a feminine and energetic floral motif alongside a masculine, aggressive tribal pattern. Some technical upgrades were also made. The exhaust header neck material was upgraded to a much more durable metal to resolve common corrosion issues. The rear axle gear teeth count was increased from 18 splines to 20 splines. Because of this change, the rear wheel hubs/wheels from the older 2006–2007 Spin are not cross-compatible with the facelifted version. The updated rear wheel hub mechanism was standardized to match the drum brake parts used on the premium Suzuki Skywave and Skydrive scooters.
