The cheapest way to travel? The Suzuki Address 110. Walk around and ride review

[@markhinde6187]

Nice post Gilly, had a loan of one of these a few years ago from Suzuki dealership waiting for my new VStrom to be delivered, it was very impressive and I saw 60 mph on the clock... light as a feather

[@GillyBikes]

It was like pushing a bicycle. Really light. Decent performance as well. I can’t believe Suzuki gave you one while waiting for a Vstrom. At least you stayed on 2 wheels 👍

[@simonhall5086]

Brilliant. 60 mph 120 mpg. Did 9k miles in a year on mine, lots of motorway miles too. Was cutting out before i sold it, but i reset the valve clearances and it was perfect. You can't beat the feeling when you are scooting along at 30 - 40mph in traffic on an automatic, so smooth. Cheers . PS it would just about overtake a lorry on the flat M62🤣

[@VintageTimeGems]

I've had mine for 3 years and this is an impressive scooter. More positives than negatives. I live in Australia so we travel long distances and the fuel consumption is nothing. You can travel forever on $5 of fuel. The only negative is that it would nice to have your legs out forward like on the maxi scooters or on a Honda PCX. I also have a Piaggio x7 ie 250 where you can put the legs out forward so it's more comfortable, but the address is way more fun to ride given that it has less power.

[@DarcyChu-fi6lf]

I wish the flat floor could be longer to do errands of pick-ups and deliveries.

[@heywhotsgoinon8286]

Great scooter. I had one for 5 years.

[@GillyBikes]

Any issues to share ?

[@heywhotsgoinon8286]

@@GillyBikes non at all really. The only thing to keep an eye on is the front brake caliper allen screw that retains the pads. Turn it every now and then to keep it free. It has a tendency to seize up. Do all the regular servicing, dont thrash it and it'll be fine. Any more info go to 'mech it better' on youtube for servicing videos and how to change bulbs and pads etc. P.s. keep on top of the condition of the exhaust, i used to clean it down and paint it after winter with a high temp paint rated at 800 deg.

[@markneville8069]

I have had mine for 3 years and its great for commuting on urban streets. FI means easy starts and great economy. 200km/4 litres and will do 100km/hr on the flat. Suzuki parts assembled in Indonesia. Having a paper element oil filter should mean better engine protection.

[@GillyBikes]

Thanks for sharing. I really like these. They seem so light and easy to wheel around. Definitely a good option.

[@dinono10]

Got mine in June. Drive a modded celica however for my commute which is very heavy traffic this allows me to go in the bus lanes and do a lot of filtering in Brighton where the traffic especially after work is horrendous. Can't fault it so far, lane splitting, use of bus lanes, filtering has cut my commute by 15-20mins

Yo tngo está moto del 2015 la versión con vinilos gp trabajo con ella y es una máquina

[@GillyBikes]

Great bikes. 👍

[@anthonybrown4874]

I bought mine new in 2016 for nipping around the city overall very good, mpg in real world 120mpg too embarrassed to fill at filling station like £4 for a weeks commute. Upgraded the headlight bulb hosted grips and a back box plus a Faco screen which strangely enough upped the top speed by 5mph and made it much better to ride on the open road. Will do 10 mile commute on b roads easily and on a long straight I have overtaken a tanker but it's a bit of a grind. Best in the city though as it gets away from lights quicker than nesrly every car. The exhausts rust externally but remain intact and I've never found a cheap stainless replacement that's easily available in the UK. At 11k mines gad a rear tyre and if I keep it through the winter will get a new rear on it. Tax is £25 insurance for a mature person £70 a main dealer service £70 ish Mot £29. It's as you say nice and light easy to manoeuvre park etc in my city you can use res park without a permit on a motorbike. I recommend the address maybe a bit compromised for fast A roads but I can plan around that and enjoy the journey more it's nippy enough fast enough and reliable.

[@GillyBikes]

Sounds mainly positive then, and very cheap to run. They are up there with my favourite scooters. 👍

[@markjames3393]

I bought a used low mileage one a few months ago. Lots of fun to ride to work and I get around 200km to 4 litres.

[@GillyBikes]

That’s decent. I don’t know why more people don’t do the same. Would save people a small fortune over the year.

[@DarcyChu-fi6lf]

​@@GillyBikes You don't need a heavy bike with monstrous engine to out run the traffic for commuting or touring.

[@GillyBikes]

Absolutely. Around town the smaller capacity bikes are the best. Much lighter and easier to sneak through traffic.

[@richardmcgrath61]

Good scooter for the engine size. On a weekend jaunt, doing 50-55 mph most of the time, mainly sealed flat roads but some unsealed gravel road, mine did 129 mpg.

[@GillyBikes]

That’s brilliant mpg 👍. For me that’s what these bikes are about. A cheap way to get around. Thanks for sharing

[@richardmcgrath61]

@@GillyBikes I forgot to mention, this was a good review, I completely agree that these bikes, because of their favourable power to weight ratio, will outperform a lot of 125 cc scooters. Some of the weight saving probably comes from not having a water cooling system. I'm starting to think these are one of the best scooters ever produced. An Australian called MotoJournoKris did a couple of quite good reviews of the Address 110 too. They sell fairly well in Australia and New Zealand.

[@henrysmith5604]

I’ve had 2 Honda vision 110’s they were brilliant and 2 Honda sh125 modes

[@GillyBikes]

You must like them. I can see why. These are very similar. The power and weight is just perfect.

[@johna6968]

I managed an actual uk 159.3mpg from my Honda Wave 110i. Brilliant little thing. Semi auto too.

[@GillyBikes]

Wow that is impressive 👍

[@DarcyChu-fi6lf]

Semi-auto borrowed from Honda Cub is different from fully-auto CVT belt-driven, though with better fuel mileage. I would rather take hazzle-free fully-auto CVT thus to focus on road traffic without second thought on gear shifting.

[@danderson8463]

I think I'd find a couple of hundred quid more and get a cbf125. Like the simplicity of the dash though, and 97 kilos?... I've manouvered heavier women around.

[@GillyBikes]

😂😂😂. Now you mention it I’ve probably had heavier women on the back of my Niken 🫣

[@martinrollins4471]

i get over 60 mph and around 140 miles to the gallon .had mine for 8 years still usin everyday.

[@GillyBikes]

That’s amazing MPG. Brilliant to see it being used every day as well. 😁👍

[@KrisVickers-wn6dd]

That's nice. Looks alot like my Honda Vision 110. Probably does similar mpg. £4 does me a week. I've got mine up to 62mph. On way home from work I'm usually cruising about 55. I got my 110 over a 125 cause it's lighter, cheaper and I can fit my full face under the seat.

[@GillyBikes]

I’ve heard of people getting over 60mph on these and 145mpg is amazing. Just like the Honda. Great buys on the second hand market

[@KrisVickers-wn6dd]

@@GillyBikes yeah I'm happy with mine. does the job. I think they look nice aswell.

Never had one but engine would not make euro 5...hence access 125 renamed address for uk. Have got one of those and its better than sliced bread!Read my mcn review for more info

[@GillyBikes]

I will check it out. Cheers.

[@petemcilvennaboon]

If your on the motorway flat out that 140 mpg drops to about 80

[@GillyBikes]

80 is still pretty good when your flat out. 👍

[@anthonyostell5776]

If it makes about 9hp then the performance will be decent. A lot of Chinese 125cc scooters don't make that power . That and it will have Japanese reliability and good parts availability make this or a honda vision 110 bikes ideal commuter tools. Great review as always 👍

[@GillyBikes]

Cheers. What I really like about this was the weight. Unbelievable how light it was. Up to 40kg lighter than other scooters which will definitely help with performance and mpg. Great bikes for commuting. 👍

[@paulowens6004]

Had one and they have plenty of speed and excelleration. I could get up to 60 at the drop of a hat.

[@fatange]

Perfect little scooter. Really light. Bet it does over 100mpg?

[@GillyBikes]

145 mpg. Amazing value really. Thats 3x better than a diesel car. Brilliant for around town.

[@maskedavenger2578]

These 110 Suzuki Address like it’s Honda 110 Vision rival , I believe manufactured in China & reliable . They have been out a number of years I think the earlier ones were fuelled by carb . I have seen a number of KZbin reviews from U.K. & abroad , & I have seen them doing over 60 mph ( 100 kph plus ) in favourable conditions . Due to their light weight to power ratio , they can perform as well as some 125 scooters . They are a bargain runabout & cheap whilst carrying a Japanese brand logo , so parts should be plentiful . Also better than a mobility scooter . I think the new versions of the Address are now 125 cc . 👍

[@GillyBikes]

It performs like an average 125 but much better mpg. I was really impressed. A very cheap way to travel

[@maskedavenger2578]

@@GillyBikes I was thinking of buying a brand new one a few years back for a handy little runabout . They were only about £2, 200 on the road at the time . Simple fan cooled engine & easy to service ,& larger wheels to deal with potholes .

@maskedavenger2578 I take it you never bought one? Did you buy something else?

[@maskedavenger2578]

@@GillyBikes At the time I had a nice low mileage 200l reg blue Y model naked bandit 600 , slightly tastefully pimped with Givi fly screen & some extras . I was looking for a cheap small scoot for local runs & little back road bimbles . I ended up with a 10 year old mint condition Honda 125 Innova step thru cub type scooter ,with 4 manual gears & auto clutch 9 •3 hp 60 mph plus top speed & about 120 to gallon . I paid a grand cash & it is still running sweet as a nut 10 years later , never broke down once . The only things replaced were normal wear & tear service items , & a faulty speed sensor replaced ,bikes now 20 years old . That Suzi 110 Address is deffo worth up to a 2 grand punt , providing any parts due for replacement have been sorted & comes with a decent MoT . Can’t understand why anyone would use public transport or a push bike , these days ,when you can get little cheap reliable scoots like theses . 👍

[@GillyBikes]

@maskedavenger2578 I feel the same way I can’t think of anything worse than getting on a bus after a day at work. Zip home quickly on one of these instead 👍

[@johna6968]

The only issues I had with scooters was theft. Every scrote wants to steal them for some reason.

[@GillyBikes]

I think that’s the problem with all bikes and scooters at the moment. Probably accounts to why the insurance companies are charging us so much. Those thieving scum bags have a lot to answer for.

[@sham27007]

I would buy the suzuki address 125

[@GillyBikes]

Me too 👍

[@scooterkev6978]

Did...i have rode loads of scoots in my years...130 mpg now run in (120) before. 57 mph on flat real(show 62) flat floor...comfy seat and not trying to hard classic looks. Sliced bread no where near as good! Suzuki have hit a home run out the park with this gem. Tho do wish under seat storage had more depth as 21 liters it has ...is more length. Impressive scoot if you ignore the spec sheet and ride the thing.

[@clangerbasher]

Just for interest and not to pick you up it is made in Indonesia. One of those myriad little bikes you find out in SE Asia.

[@GillyBikes]

Thanks for the info. To be honest I just took this out as I’d never tried one before. I just did a quick google for specs. 😳🫣

that price is way too high for a scoot that old with that mileage you can get anew one for £2300.00

its a honda vision copy same weel sizes same cc looks same

[@GillyBikes]

They do appear very similar

[@richardmcgrath61]

Their specs are almost identical. I bought the Address because the young salesman at the Honda dealer wouldn't give me a test ride on the Dio 110 they had in the shop. The Suzuki dealer was happy to let me ride their bike that had 9 km on the clock, and I bought it as soon as I returned.
