From a maxi-style scooter to a sporty one, Suzuki’s 124cc engine versatility is sure to floor you
Suzuki’s entrant in the 125cc sporty scooter segment, to take on the likes of the TVS NTorq 125 and the Aprilia SR 125, is the Avenis 125. However, though the Japanese scooter is new to the market, its engine isn’t. Let’s deep dive into Suzuki’s 125cc that doesn’t power one but has been the heart of four scooters.
Suzuki Access 125
Suzuki was one of the first major players to introduce a 125cc scooter in India during the early 2000s. The Access 125 made its debut in 2006 and became an instant hit, thanks to its high quality, comfort and a powerful engine. Over the years, the Access has received a bunch of updates, including fuel-injection. However, the 124cc engine was a sporty one to start with, and remains one even today.
Suzuki Swish 125
The lesser known sibling of the Access 125 had a rather short life, spanning a little over five years. This scooter was introduced as a premium offering over the Access. From its exhaust cover to grab rails and the dual tone paint schemes, it exuded premiumness. But the Suzuki Swish 125 shared its internals, including the engine producing 8.7PS and 9.8Nm, with the Access.
Suzuki Burgman Street
After pulling the plug on the Swish, Suzuki introduced the Burgman Street. The 124cc engine’s refinement and ability to sustain speed made it a good choice for a maxi-style scooter. Complementing this engine is a bunch of convenience features, including Bluetooth connectivity.
Suzuki Avenis
Catering to a mature audience, and one intended for comfort, Suzuki’s next step was to introduce its platform in a sporty guise with the Avenis. The lightweight construction and the taut wheelbase go perfectly with the 124cc fuel-injected motor. Here’s how the Avenis’ performance fares in the real world.
Suzuki Avenis User Reviews
I previously owned a Honda Activa. i just want a jump up from the vehicle. i tried dio but due to vast scooty available in roads. i just tried to find a unique scooter for my daily commute in the city. The comfort was good and can improve the seat quality a bit. Overall the experience from the service centre is nice. I mostly ride both in city and highway commuting daily in the city it is easy to maneuvere and in highway the performance is good. Ya definitely recommend it because of performance packed with great mileage. The suspension is on stiffer side when ride solo but with pillion it is nice to take a small bumps easily. Due to the stiffer suspension the stability is great.Read More

I chose this bike for it's amazing sporty looks. The power delivery of this scooter is amazing. The scooter has an well maintained body weight so that it does lift up from the road at high speeds & ofcourse Suzuki reliable engine. It was an amazing ride so far. Both The rear and front brakes are really good, appropriate for stopping the vehicle at max speeds. The throw of the headlight is really good for night riding. The digital meter is quite bright even in scorching sunlight. Yes I would recommend this scooter. It's totally worth buying this. Especially people who need an sporty look with and reliable engine and a brand like Suzuki. But two minor cons of this scooter is that Suzuki does not provide hazard button and pass button. Read More
I got the special edition with Titanium silver and black matte colour. The look is extremely awesome. Speaking about the performance that is also crazy, it's fully comfortable with a leather covered seat. Mileage is top notch. Pick up is low compared to burgman, but not a big issue. Easy handling. Worth it.Read More
