Suzuki Philippines (SPH) expanded its current lineup with the arrival of the Burgman Street 125 EX, a classy-looking small-displacement scoot touted as the ideal ride for two-wheel-loving professionals.
But is its executive-class appeal enough to win over this generation of Filipino motorcycle riders? Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX to find out.
Having a smart and snappy look is arguably one of the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX’s strongest suits. Amid the sea of scooters all looking to cater to a sporty and adventurous segment, Suzuki’s newest offering comes as a stand-out among the crowd.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX has a relatively large dimension considering that it belongs to the 125cc category. To note, it measures 1,905 millimeters (mm) long, 700mm wide, and 1,140mm tall.
Considering the fact that it is beefier than most of its competitors, some riders might find its size a bit daunting.
