Looks and Design:At a single glance, the Scooter looks big. Its front beefed up frame seems more than capable of protecting the rider from wind blasts. The seat on the scooter is comfortable and wide. Riding stance is obviously upright and comfortable. Like many other maxi scooters, Suzuki Burgman Street too has a windscreen, behind which sits the all-digital instrument console. It is a rectangular unit similar to the ones found on Gixxer and Intruder.
The rider seat is installed at an especially low height, to aid riders of small height. The rear of the Scooter is lit with a very detailed LED light and a pillion grab rail. The scooter features telescopic forks at the front and dual shocks the back. The front tyre is 90/90-12 and the rear one is 90/100-10.
Engine and Performance:Powering the Suzuki Burgman Street is the same 125 cc engine used on the Suzuki Access 125. It produces 8.58 BHP of power @7000 RPM and 10.2 NM @5000 RPM. Considering the performance of Suzuki Access, the 10.2 NM though seems enough to ride the Suzuki Burgman comfortably but any further speculation on the performance of this scooter will have to wait until we get to ride it in city conditions. At the front, we have disc brake for effective performance and a drum brake at the rear.
Features:From the looks of it, Space and comfort seem to be the topmost favorable features in the scooter. There are 2 storage compartments in the scooter. One is at the front, consisting of 12V DC charging port and the other one is under the seat, which can easily hold a helmet. At the front, we have a big LED headlight unit but the fuel tank lid is placed under the seat.
That is all about the Suzuki Burgman 125, with this scooter and TVS NTorq, features like disc brakes and telescopic forks are becoming a standard in the Indian scooter market. Maybe, the combined efforts of company’s like Suzuki, Aprilia and TVS we can finally witness the dethroning of the king of scooters in India, the Honda Activa. Until then let’s wait and watch.
