Suzuki seems to be gearing up for an exciting refresh of its ever-popular scooter, the Burgman Street 125. A camouflaged version of the updated model was recently caught testing on public roads, and from what we can see, a number of interesting changes are on the way. While the core elements of the scooter remain untouched, subtle design tweaks and feature enhancements appear to be in the pipeline. So, what can you expect from the upcoming version? Let’s break it down.
Styling
The biggest talking point is, of course, the new look. Suzuki has opted for evolutionary changes rather than a radical makeover. At the front, the apron has been redesigned to look slightly curvier and a bit more muscular than before. It gives off a more premium and imposing vibe, without straying too far from the original Burgman DNA.
On the sides, the contours have been slightly reworked. The footboard now features reflectors, which were previously placed on the mudguard—a small but noticeable change. The rear end of the scooter seems sharper and sleeker, tapering off in a style reminiscent of the TVS Ntorq 125. It’s subtle, but gives the scooter a sportier edge.
Features
While Suzuki hasn’t confirmed any feature additions, we do expect a few minor upgrades in the tech department. The current model already offers a decent feature set, including Bluetooth connectivity in select variants. It’s likely the updated Burgman will carry forward this connectivity and possibly add new features like a fully digital console or turn-by-turn navigation.
Safety updates such as better lighting or a side-stand engine cut-off could also make their way in, keeping up with the latest norms and user expectations.
Engine
Mechanically, there are no major changes expected. The updated Burgman Street 125 is still likely to be powered by the same 124cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This unit currently delivers 8.58bhp and 10Nm of torque. It’s known for being fuel-efficient, refined, and reliable—qualities that have helped make it a favorite among urban commuters.
One noteworthy update is its compliance with OBD-2B norms. This means it now meets the latest emission regulations, ensuring a cleaner ride without compromising on performance.
Comfort
Comfort has always been one of the Burgman’s strong suits. From its maxi-scooter styling to the well-cushioned seat and spacious footboard, everything about it screams comfort. Whether you’re navigating city traffic or cruising through longer stretches, the Burgman doesn’t disappoint.
The seating position remains upright and relaxed, and the wide seat can comfortably accommodate both rider and pillion. The storage space under the seat is generous, and the front glove box with a USB charger adds to the convenience.
Pricing
Here’s a quick comparison of the current prices:
| Variant | Wheel Size | Price (Ex-showroom, Delhi) |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 10-inch | Rs. 95,800 |
| Ride Connect | 10-inch | Rs. 99,800 |
| EX | 12-inch | Rs. 1,16,200 |
The new version might see a slight hike in price, but considering the expected design tweaks and possible feature additions, it could still offer solid value for money.
So, if you’ve been eyeing the Burgman Street 125 or thinking about upgrading, it might be worth waiting for the updated version. It seems Suzuki is refining an already impressive package with just the right touch of style and functionality.
