The Suzuki Avenis 125 Review: Is this the best beginner scooter for the money?

[@OliMono-c9d]

Absolutely brilliant piece of kit... No gimmicks does what it says on tin... picked mine up from Suzuki in Mansfield this week... And got 61mph out of it.. The mpg seems to be the US units not Imperial like the GB Gallon, You forgot to mention the steering lock and park lights too... whips up inclines really well and seems really well planted at 55mph down the dual carriageways to say how light it is .. really impressed.. Thanks for the honest review guys... drives just like you said it would.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Not sure if it is sold here in the US. Suzuki's previous smallest scooter sold here was the Burgman 200.

[@DarcyChu-fi6lf]

​@@scrambler69-xk3kv Nope! Suzuki Address 110 of 14 inch tire.

[@b16lkr40]

I have had this scooter around a month and I have to say I have been really pleased with it for the money my only negative would be the fuel tank capacity

[@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe]

How tall are you?

[@tomaszpakua2457]

What real top speed ?

[@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe]

@@tomaszpakua2457 60-65mph. I had a test drive on one and I'm 12kg. Didn't end up choosing it but it accelerates extremely quickly.

@@tomaszpakua2457 top I have had is 63 does 55-60 fairly comfortable

[@TheOmniscientAtheist]

@@tomaszpakua2457 It probably depends on how fat you are, if its anything like my Honda Vision was then 55 absolute tops. 40 up slight hills and 25 up steep hills. Suitable for city riding only IMO.

It's not just for younger riders it's suitable and looks (mature) great for people of all ages .

Would love to see your video on Burgman Street 125cc

[@quackquacksable]

At first I was a bit unsure as this wasn't really the bike I wanted ( wanted a pcx) but it was all I could afford at the time and desperately needed transport, 2 months later I love this bike, I'm 6ft 2 and 16st and I've got it up to 66 on a dual carriageway and it holds 50 plus no bother even when fully loaded with work stuff 👍 I've done 400 miles and only spent about £35 on petrol in total. It's a wicked little runner just wish the suzuki ride app and bike accessories were available in UK

[@georgetriantafillidis5598]

I work as delivery and i buy it yesterday, is it strong? I mean the plastic

[@quackquacksable]

@@georgetriantafillidis5598 yes the plastics are very strong 👍 I've currently done almost 1800 miles since July and I've had no issues also I've been riding in all weather on some pretty long journeys and the bike does great I just wish it had space to fit my helmet or a bit more storage space.

[@cristianfilipescu7938]

how about long distances? is good?

[@captainaverage721]

So I'm assuming you can't use a back rack then, given the fuel cap I'd at the rear?

[@JDMz]

You can add a top box. It's on the suzuki site.

[@captainaverage721]

@@JDMz Best of luck trying to fuel it through a top box

[@gthbtn]

Not sure what they were thinking but the fuel cap pops up into where a top box would fit. Given the location of the battery and the small capacity of the fuel tank you'd think there would be more underseat storage, but no.

[@gregmartyn1976]

​@@captainaverage721 the top box flips to get to the fuel tank. The subframe the box sits on is designed to tilt to make it easier. It's a clever mechanism. But still wish the underseat storage was better

[@khshaown3682]

Sir, Is it Made in India or Japan?

[@cityproofdad]

Review is not complete how about tank size eco options underseat storage and more??

[@allanvillalinoofficial]

We have like that in Philippines we called it suzuki avenis❤

[@DanFrederiksen]

Rather modest price, they want that much for a bicycle these days. 2 wheelers are dangerous though because you are the crumple zone. Anything above 30km/h really leads to injury. A crash at 60mph is easily death or christopher reeve. just 30mph can easily mess you up. how is the sound? very smooth and quiet?

[@nolifeblameful4639]

is this bike available to buy in the

[@grantbriggs3777]

Looking at the side of the scooter doesn't look as upright as the front of a Yamaha Nmax 125. Infact it looks like it slopes more of an angle which makes it look more aerodynamic

[@johnf4659]

Im 6'5". Never ridden a scooter before. Im looking for 125 that will fit someone of my height. Would this do?

[@BikeMatters]

I think you'd struggle, have a sit on one and see but you might (if wanting a scooter) be best looking at something with maxi-scooter dimensions.

[@kevinh96]

You'd be better looking at something larger, such as the Honda Forza 125 as this Suzuki, the Honda PCX etc. are quite small for bigger or taller guys.

[@MrAlloPeePs]

Hi took my son who's 6,4 to look at one today it's a nice size for taller peeps it's bigger than most 125 we ended up buying it he loves it quite light as well it's a very nice bike

[@sconzerb7780]

The position of the indicators make it very difficult to use handlebar muffs which are a neccessity for a lot riders riding in winter. A big negative for me.

[@KrisVic91]

Can you fit a fulp face in storage.

[@3ricZ]

Nope

[@JakeM218]

Don’t know why you’d consider this over the Piaggio Liberty at £2800. 11hp air cooled, 14” and 16” wheels. Edit; Plus Liberty has ABS at that same price point. Think this is a poor show from Suzuki.

[@JDMz]

Alot more reliable than piaggio though. There customer service alone is shocking.

[@JakeM218]

@@JDMz Difficult to say about reliability with a brand new bike. Even brand reliability can’t be considered. Watching someone on KZbin who recently burnt through a Honda Monkey 125cc engine in under 3000 miles. Main thing going for Piaggio is they were the original company who bought scooters to the masses.

[@deepblue69uk]

​@@JakeM218 Suzuki has an established reputation. Plus it's much more fuel efficient than the Liberty. The engine, whilst new here is a tried and tested engine in other markets. As for the Honda Monkey, that's known as a very reliable bike. Just because one youtube video shows an engine died doesn't represent the entire fleet of Honda Monkeys. Again, Honda has proven reliability across the board. The Piaggio Liberty is a good bike but it's been around for a very long time. If they can improve the fuel efficiency of the engine then it would blow the Suzuki out of the water.

[@kevinh96]

@@JDMz Piaggio own the Vespa brand which has proven to be rock solid reliable for decades so I think reliability wouldn't be much of an issue, customer service on the other hand..

[@gthbtn]

148? I was getting 117 up until last week when some charming person decided to test the steering lock... it's quite flimsy. Start stop would have been a nice to have for a town bike too. Underseat storage is disappointing given how the fuel cap prevents you fitting a top box but for what it is, in my case a replacement for a stolen/trashed/written off Honda it'll do...

[@JDMz]

The mpg will get better. All vehicles are shocking on fuel when still in the engine break in period. Unfortunately you can't have stop start on a starter mechanism. Only stop start can be used for riss units.

[@deepblue69uk]

Also, with an appropriate adapter a top box will clear the fuel cap. I have see a few of them around.

[@maskedavenger2578]

The last thing you need is stop start especially on a small capacity scooter, that use next to no fuel already . It would just add to the purchase price & potentially more to go wrong & cause issues & cost more to get sorted . No steering locks are good anyway even on more larger expensive bikes , buy a decent lock & chain it to something solid & unmovable .

[@gthbtn]

@@maskedavenger2578 turns out a Kia Sportage pulling out of a side road does more damage to my scooter than stop start technology! I can laugh now as I'd just paid £193 to get the steering lock temporarily repaired so I could use it for commuting to work and got less than two miles down the road... it didn't even get to its 600 mile service before being written off.

[@maskedavenger2578]

@@gthbtn What has stop start technology got to do with pulling out of a side road . The is no point in stop start technology on a small engine that burns next to no fuel anyway . Also it’s a well known fact ,most engine wear is caused when an engine starts up , so it’ it’s obvious with an engine stopping & starting every few yards in town ,is going to cause more wear & put extra load on the electrics ,for very negligible fuel cost savings . You also could of saved probably more .by spending a £100 on a lock & chain , & leaving the steering unlocked to save damage . If you ride motorcycles & scooters ,you should also assume every vehicle that can pull out on you will , as many times they will . You need to ride defensively ,& treat all other road users as potential homicidal maniacs ,if you are to have any chance of surviving ,as I have after riding motorcycles & scooters large & small capacity on road for over 50 years .

5 Liter tank is to small and the headlight looks small, I have a Kymco Agility 16 and it ha a bigger tank and headlight. And the Kymco has bigger wheels.

[@gooorki]

Tvs Ntorq

[@fingerhorn4]

The Piaggio Liberty 125 is cheaper or similar and is a much better scooter, with bigger wheels, more power, and has ABS. For a similar price you can pick up a used Piaggio Medley with much more power and 65+mph, plus enough storage for two full face helmets. So the three new Suzukis fail to impress (Address, Avenis and Burgman Street). They are marketed as some kind of hip, street-cred machines but all three are way overpriced. If they were cheaper new then they would be worth considering, but they just don't cut it with their weedy 8.6 hp engines and ridiculously tiny fuel tanks, except strictly for town riding. Oh, and it's ugly.
