    The Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX comes with a very subtle design that can keep up with one’s preppy and formal style. Things like its stylish headlight, large dimensions, and even its wheels that look like Volk Racing TE37 mags contribute to its exclusive appeal.

    Additionally, it comes in two sophisticated color variants: Bronze and Matte Black.

    Practical daily driver

    Despite donning the look of luxury, the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX is also a practical daily commuter.

    It is fitted with a 125 cubic centimeter (cc) engine mated to a continuously variable transmission. The fuel-injected engine is also accompanied by an engine auto stop-start feature that helps riders conserve more fuel.

    According to Suzuki Philippines, the Burgman Street 125 EX clocks in at 52.6 kilometers per liter based on World Motorcycle Test Cycle standards.

    A relatively safe ride

    Suzuki slapped several safety features into the Burgman Street 125 EX to ensure the overall safety of its owners.

    Stopping power comes from a disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear. Suspension-wise, it gets a telescopic fork at the front and a swing arm-type shock absorber at the rear.

    Cons

    Upright riding position

    The Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX does encourage laid-back riding due to its upright riding position. While it does suit the riding style of others, some may want something more aggressive.
