Already book one in matte Black.. cant wait to test drive it..

[@reevesylfc8390]

Good video. Enjoyable. Best for the smaller rider though I think. It looked like you nicked it from Toys r us when you were on it. 😂😉 Cheers mate.

[@BikeMatters]

LOL, thanks for the comment.

[@dIsAstErTR]

I don't know why Suzuki saturated their own 125cc line up. Wish you guys directly asked them about this. Burgman Street, Address and Avenis. Good video. Amazing fuel efficiency.

[@SandStormPower]

A scooter for everyone. Maybe the burgman isn't for all of us and rather have something more simple like the address 125

[@willvapes301]

Very interesting but bites 650 can't pass new rules but curious when u gonna test the mp3 530??🤔🤔

[@harjunosistiyanto6474]

Terima kasih untuk review yang cukup lengkap. Ada rumor bahwa skuter ini akan dipasarkan oleh Suzuki Indonesia, saya cukup terbantu dengan informasi anda.

[@harjunosistiyanto6474]

Akhirnya Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX ini baru saja diluncurkan di negara kami hari ini, dengan harga yang cukup menarik, sekitar 1556 USD.

[@drramtop1576]

I'm sure efficiencies of scale mean using the same engine for all three models saves money, but a £3000 'luxury' scooter with 8hp is pretty poor. Most of the competition is using 11/12hp motors. Personally I think the Piaggio Medley with its 14.7hp motor and larger wheels is a better deal, even at £500 more then the Burgman.

[@Ducktator1969]

But can they beat the reliability of the Suzuki tho? Even an old Suzuki skywave 125 Can get you through 200.000 KM's and the engine still running strong

[@miquelpolo2789]

​@@Ducktator1969honda has the forza 125 with 14'5 hp And yamaha with the xmax 125 12'7hp 8'6hp...... too poor you cannot get out of a city

[@disbsam333]

Yeah the Suzuki Bergman 125 is around $2200 with tax and lifetime registration in Vietnam. 3000gbp is a bit steep.

[@g.r.e1982]

What you have just said about bhp means absolutely nothing I owned a gilera runner 125 with 15 bhp and it went no faster than my 12.6 bhp honda Pcx. You just ain't going to get any faster unless it's modded. 60 is the sweet spot for any 125 anymore than that move up to A2 licence

[@drramtop1576]

It's not about maximum speed, but the scooter's ability to maintain speed. If you're going up an incline of any real gradient an 8hp scoot will struggle to get much above 40mph, add a reasonable headwind and you're down to 30-ish. I have to ride in conditions like that almost every day (as do many people who live in hilly areas) and when I borrowed an 8hp scooter for a while I found it was only able to get to 32mph on a particular hill, whereas my usual 11.3hp scoot would do 45-ish. 15hp likely could get that above 50mph. And I stand by my original point; for a £3000 'luxury' scooter the Burgman is awful value. 8hp motor, no ABS and a single shock? That's the spec of some £1999 off-brand Chinese junker. The Medley just got a price cut to £3200, so the Burgman looks even worse in comparison now than when this video was made.

[@ipposmotorcyclesrentalsand5855]

Low hp means more reliability. I order 7 for my rental business and i am happy with them.

[@BikeMatters]

Nice!

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

The smallest Burgman offered in the USA is 200cc. Wish this one was available here.

[@BikeMatters]

Interesting that you'd prefer this as a 125cc over a 200cc, can I ask why you'd prefer a smaller engine out there?

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Because our Suzuki Burgman looks nothing like this. It is a much larger totally different bike. There are so few small displacement bikes available in the US. Older now and would prefer a small scooter like this to ride on our very rural as in no houses or businesses roads. It just looks like you are riding through the forest roads with no street lights of any sort. Yes, we have them. Ride along at a slow pace and just enjoy the day ride.

[@yehebektirwatirilfut]

can i put m size helmet on the luggage?

[@tyangcilik]

cool,

[@kramnam4716]

Any scooter if you can’t put the lid under the seat is an immediate no for me. That’s one of the main features that differentiate a scooter surely

[@umbrella_corps_harborne9113]

Been ridding one in Birmingham for over a month.

[@BikeMatters]

Do you enjoy it?

[@raeldri5867]

Do they sell the luggage rack as an accessory? Maybe to ask for the part since in my country they dont have it

[@raymakbutwithmoustache6413]

Sad this colour is not available on the Ex variant in India

[@Fourwedge]

I'm looking for my first scooter /motorcycle. What should I look at. I want it to be usable on highways so I assume I need 125cc or bigger.. Looking at a small 50cc for my daughter. Cost is no concern.

[@johngraham8052]

Not sure what part of the world you are in but given new 50's can only do 28mph you are in the realms of electric push bikes. You can also get electric scooters (50cc equivalent) such as the Piaggio 1. You can get cycle-to-work tax breaks etc on push bikes and some grants did exist for electric scooters.

[@mariokuppers5686]

125cc + because you normaly have an lower Speedlimit of 45 mph. Streetlegal 50cc only run 28 mph and older ones 35 mph so they are out of Question. But even with an 125cc you should Aim at least 10.5 hp and up otherwise you can really struggle with wind and climbs.

[@mariokuppers5686]

The Piaggio 1 is the greatest waste of resources ever. It even Struggles to reach 28 mph if you slap an 50 kg Girl on it

[@yogibullseye2857]

yeah you read the book bro 😬🤣

[@johncarlodizon2340]

Best for pinoys

[@vicentelim1059]

May Pinoy ba Dito sa comment section. Tamang tingin lang ng mga reviews kahit sa banyaga Bago bumili ng sariling burgman street Ex soon.

[@emmanuellacdao4562]

is that color come to phillipines?

[@zuccmarkerbergzuccurmama]

Is the presenter just too tall or the wheels of the scooter just small?

[@tomaszpakua2457]

8.6HP what happened with Suzuki ? …

[@C.S.T]

much prefer the older style burgmans which are like hens teeth so difficult to find, more organic in shape which was unique to suzuki, less pointed angles, heavier and reliable need to find a burgman graveyard

[@fingerhorn4]

There are a few older Burgmans left but not many. I agree the old 125cc Burgman was way better than this terribly weak offering which is going to struggle to get to 60 mph (96 kph). So it really is a town /city scooter and completely inadequate for longer journeys. The old Burgman also had way more storage. This new Burgman is over-priced and underwhelming.

[@C.S.T]

@@fingerhorn4 🎯 100% 👍

[@Veera1383]

Your height?

[@BikeMatters]

6'3

[@pankajvyas435]

Bs6 model failed hai.... Bahut takleef aati usme

[@rambler20111]

700mm width.

[@Krysjanus]

I'm 184cm, do you think when I ride on this, its handlebar could hit knees or legs when making big turn with very slow speed? I once had to fall down when it that situation, so I wonder.

[@BikeMatters]

Alex is 6'3 and his knees definitely touched the bars at full lock.

[@Krysjanus]

Thanks!

[@cyrilledelos1925]

Of a staggering ugliness!... the new Burgman Street is designed for Asian templates , If you measure more than 1.75m , you will look stupid , terribly uncomfortable !... !... What happened to the engineers who designed the new Burgman? ... Suzuki has abandoned all the assets that had made the success of its prestigious cousin ... round and warm shapes, a trunk with a very large storage capacity ...a nervous and economical engine ...then declined in 200cc!... The new model of the Burgman is a historical error!...

[@hectorbabantojr.9073]

iba talaga pag pinoy na ang nakasampa. hha

[@alecpym1706]

I have an old rounded Burgman this looks like a toy won't be buying one.

[@C.S.T]

UH? 👍

[@Iamtheclip]

Weak, not want from a gas driven bike!

[@ranashah788]

Real suspension is very 👎 hard.so bad

[@benimsayfam1000]

'ow much? Not a mention.

[@SurreyAlan]

About 3 grand, said it right at the start.

[@fingerhorn4]

This lacklustre, pathetically under-powered, ugly attempt from Suzuki to replace the very decent older Burgman 125 is an utter failure. It will barely wheeze its way up to 50-55 mph with its way under-powered 8.5 hp engine. For similar money you can get the excellent Zontes 125M or the SYM Jet x and others, and for a little more the Honda PCX is a way more accomplished scooter. Even the humble Honda Vision with only 110cc, the Piaggio Liberty 125 and the Honda SH Mode are miles better than this monstrosity.
