The Suzuki Burgman Street looks appealing, thanks to its overall bulbous design. Its imposing front apron gets neatly laid out all-LED headlight and windscreen. The sculpted rear panels, bulky exhaust can and grab rails also follow the design theme seen at the front. Everything works well in its favour. Well, except for the skinny 10-inch rear wheel, which looks odd and out of place. As mentioned earlier, the Burgman Street packs all-LED lighting, which provide ample throw and spread of light at night.
The Suzuki Burgman Street is focused more towards practicality than features. This means, you get a generous 21.5-litre underseat storage space, which may not be the best in class, but still dwarfs the Grazia’s underseat storage bin by quite a margin. You also get additional storage behind the front apron, with a DC charging socket (comes as standard) on the left and enough space to carry a 1-litre bottle on the right. The floorboard is easily one of the best in the segment and is large enough to carry a laptop bag. Another thoughtful feature is the footrest moulded into the apron, which makes for a relaxed riding posture.
Designed as a more youth-centric scooter, the Honda Grazia looks much sharper than the Burgman. It follows a more aggressive design approach, with sharper lines and creases all across the body.
The first thing you'll notice about the Grazia is the massive angular LED headlamp. However, while they offer decent brightness in the city, our highway runs revealed them to be rather lacklustre. Other features include an all-digital instrument console with a 3-step eco mode for efficient riding style, a 4-in-1 key slot with a seat opener switch and an optional 12V phone charging socket. Storage space is also quite decent at 18 litres and can hold a half-face helmet.
If the two scooters were parked side-by-side, and we had to pick a winner, we’d go for the Burgman Street. And that’s simply because it offers something different in terms of design with the added benefits of practical features.

Let’s start off by saying, none of the scooters get a new engine. While the Suzuki Burgman Street borrows its motor from the Suzuki Access, the Honda Grazia packs the same engine as the Honda Activa 125.
Having said that, the engine has been tuned on the Burgman for better refinement and to offer better fuel efficiency than the Access. It’s also quicker than the Honda Grazia. The Honda, on the other hand, feels a little rough when rolling on the throttle. However, this behaviour changes dramatically once it gains some momentum.
According to our road tests, the Burgman offers an efficiency of 54.9kmpl on the highway and 54.7kmpl in the city. It packs a 5.6-litre fuel tank. The Honda Grazia, on the other hand, returns 46.7kmpl in the city and 48.4kmpl on the highway, with a 5.3-litre of fuel tank. This results in fewer fuel stops on the Burgman Street.

Must suggested by my friends and I've watched some of youtube videos for reference and I'm quite satisfied with the reviews also if Suzuki make it more powerful by adding 150 cc engine it will blow the whole segment. I've ridden it more than 8000 kms and I'm much satisfied with it the style the design the bulkiness it's all suits me. I love it the Riding posture is quite comfortable and the seat height fir the pillion is a bit high but comfortable but not for long rides. Yes why not I will happily recommend my friends and relatives for the beast it's acceleration and pickup uff mind-blowing it feels like you're riding a jet-skie for real it's handling stability everything is out of league. I have the ex variant and it's the best one I love it. Read More

It is very good for long distances and the mileage is also good. I have ridden it for 400 kms in one go. It is a very good scooter and is amazing. Try it, it is a very good scooter, I have driven it in the mountains, it gives a very smooth ride. Mileage is good but parts are expensive and its service is also costly. Other scooters are better than other scooter.There is another problem with this, you can drive in the city but it is a bit heavy for the streets and neighbourhood. If you have to travel long distances then this scooter is the best option for you. I wanted it for long drives and wanted a light weight scooter, that's why I bought it. If your budget is less than 1 lakh then You can try other scooters, otherwise this is the best. Read More
one of the best maximum scooter in india it is very comfortable for long drive and city ride, mileage is excellent around 50 km. But maintenance cost is little bit expensive than other scooter. overall it is very nice scooty. I'm also Burgman lover. Burgman rocks. Maintenance cost is bit expensive, fibre body parts quality is not very good and up to the mark. Suzuki should improve better fibre built quality. fuel tank capacity should be 6ltr. Fibre quality is very cheap quality than other scooter. I will suggest who is looking for styling performance, and good mileage. Go for suzuki Burgman street. It is perfect for any age group, long seat, not any back pain for long drive. It is very comfortable for long drive and city drive.Read More
