BS6 Suzuki Access 125 vs BS4 Access 125: Which One To Buy?
Should you shell out Rs 6,400 more for the BS6 model?
Should you shell out Rs 6,400 more for the BS6 model?
The Access 125 is Suzuki’s first BS6-compliant two-wheeler in India. Interestingly, Suzuki has kept the price hike to a minimum, at around Rs 6,400 for each variant, by skipping on a new look and some segment-first features. So, should you shell out Rs 6,400 more for a cleaner future?
Design and features:
It is quite a challenging task to differentiate between the BS4 and BS6 variant of the Access 125. Both models look exactly the same! What Suzuki could have done is tweak the design just a little bit to give it a fresh look. The updated scooters now come with a new LED headlamp and an external fuel filling cap, but apart from that, there’s nothing different between the two.
Engine and performance:
Suzuki has tweaked the motor to comply with the new stricter emission norms. This new fuel-injected 124cc powerplant makes 8.7PS at 6750rpm and 10Nm at 5500rpm. For perspective, the BS4 model makes 8.7PS at 7000rpm and 10.2Nm at 5000rpm. There could be a minor difference between the BS4 and the BS6 variant’s fuel-efficiency figures, but we will confirm this once we get our hands on the scooter.
Ride and handling:
Well, we don’t think the BS6 Access 125 will feel any different from its predecessor as the underpinnings are the same. You get the same suspension setup, same frame and even the braking hardware is the same. However, the BS6 version is 2-3kg heavier than the older model, which shouldn’t affect the handling to that extent.

Should you buy one?
Well, Suzuki isn’t charging a bomb like Vespa and Aprilia. And unlike the Italians, the BS6 Access 125 at least has something new to offer. Moreover, the price increment is around Rs 6,400, which we think is quite reasonable for one of the most potent 125cc scooters out there. So, we would opt for the BS6-compliant scooter, which gets a USB port, a new LED headlamp, and a future-proof engine.
Suzuki Access 125 [2020-2024] User Reviews
- Sooter for your family that makes your life easier
- The scooty is going to save you a lot of money in servicing as maintenance is easy. - Ride is comfortable, even if you are a heavy person like me. - Mileage I get from this scooty is around 40 to 45 Kmpl. - Storage space is quite sufficient for 1 helmet under the seat. Also you have storage in the front, that you can use for regular shopping. - The pillion seat is quite low so, mounting on the bike won't be an issue for the elderly people. Like my father.

The Suzuki Access 125 ride connect is very smooth and reliable scooter. The pickup is good and the engine feels refined while riding in the city. The bluetooth feature is very useful because it connects with the Suzuki ride connect app and shows navigation on the speedometer. The seat is comfortable and the mileage is also good around 45-50km/l. The breaking with front disc and CBS is safe and responsive. Overall it is a stylish, comfortable and low-maintenance scooter, perfect for daily use.
- Suzuki access 125
Overall good. Everyone knows suzuki access is a good scooty. With regards to mileage, pick up and safety evrything is great. Looks stylish and seat capacity is also huge can easily accommodate 2 people. Headlight is amazing too in the darker roads upper and lower lights both work very well and have the capacity of capturing larger areas in dark atleast better as compared to other brands.
- Suzuki Access 125 Review, 2 year experience
Initially the stock battery was very worst, it used to dry very often. And sometimes there is a vibration when I start the vehicle and run on low rpm, even the showroom didn't rectify it. Maintence is subjective to users, if we dont service often, it will show side effects like vibration, sound, pickup issues etc. Speed, Mileage, Comfort all are fine
