The tail-light unit looks very well with the complete design
Verdict – The Burgman Street is placed above the Access 125 in Suzuki’s 125cc scooter lineup and comes at a premium. But with that extra money you get more storage space, comfortable riding posture, a digital console and LED headlights and tail-lights. It might sound pricey but then getting a modern maxi-scooter at Rs. 81,000/- with good features makes it appealing. The competition is offering various different features but the Burgman is a very unique scooter on its own and it seems it’s here to stay!

Does not hit the ton on normal roads but makes up for the pace
What’s Cool
* The maxi-style of the Burgman is very attractive
* LED headlight is bright and illuminates the road very well at night
* Very comfortable for the rider and spacious for the pillion as well
* Power delivery is linear, has a strong mid-range and opens up in the top-end
What’s Not So Cool
* Competition offers more features at a lesser price
* Skinny tyres don’t make up for the attractive and bulky design
* Underseat storage is big enough but won’t be able to fit a full-size helmet

The overall design is just unconventional

Testers’ Note:
“The Suzuki Burgman Street looks beefy but the small tyres are a let down as it looks like this scooter is running on a spare wheel. Where this 125cc maxi-scooter absolutely impressed me was with the comfort it offers. There is just acres of legroom, making this Japanese scooter the most apt for tall riders. Aiding further to the comfort is the long seat and of course the tried and tested mechanicals which makes this a refined scooter with good performance. The pricing though is on the higher side.” – Faisal Khan, Editor, MotorBeam.
“The Suzuki Burgman Street feels very comfortable to ride, even if you are someone as tall as 6 ft. The motor is very refined with a strong mid-range. In addition, it’s very comfortable in terms of handling and seating, all this makes it one of the best scooters for the Indian city environment. However, because of its wide-body, parking can be a bit of an issue but it still weighs less than its competition. With that being said, the Burgman Street is worth the extra money you pay for as it derives most of its features from its sibling, the Suzuki Access 125.” – Jeffin Nadar, Road Tester, MotorBeam.
