Trending Questions on Suzuki Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts
I have owned an Activa 5G since May 2019. My daily running is around 100 km, mostly in city traffic with a pillion. Which petrol scooter should I buy?
Since your daily usage is quite high and you also frequently travel with a pillion, we'll recommend you look at the Suzuki Burgman Street EX. With its spacious seats, well-balanced suspension setup, peppy yet fuel-efficient 125cc engine and 12-inch wheels at both ends, the Burgman EX will make for a good companion.
If you want to stick to 110cc scooters, we'd recommend the TVS Jupiter 110 because it comes with 12-inch wheels at both ends and has supple suspension, which will help you since you travel a lot with two people on board.
It also has a handy winged preload adjuster for the monoshock, which will help you tailor the suspension with added load easily.
Take a test ride of both these options before you decide.
I am a small businessman and currently do not own a bike or a car. I want to buy a scooter with a strong body so that I can ride with a pillion and also carry some luggage or bags on the floorboard. Is the TVS Jupiter 115cc or 125cc a good choice, or should I consider another brand or model? Please suggest. I am 6 feet tall and well built, so height is not a problem. My budget is ₹1 to ₹1.25 lakh. Thank you.
I am planning to buy my first bike with a budget of 2-2.5 lakh. I test rode the CB350RS, Meteor and Guerrilla 450. I didn’t find the CB350RS comfortable, the Meteor felt good but lacked highway power, and the Guerrilla 450 is over budget. I want a bike with a non-aggressive riding position and good comfort on highways and potholes. Please suggest suitable options.
Since this is your first bike, starting small and approachable would be the smart way to go about it. In that same vein, we would recommend the new Yamaha XSR155 because it is a light, comfortable, fuel-efficient machine that's also reasonably exciting to use.
If you want a larger machine, then bikes like the Honda CB300F, Bajaj Pulsar N250 and Suzuki Gixxer 250 would be good options.
Take a test ride of everything you shortlist before you decide.
Which scooter would you recommend for my daily usage of around 12-15km within Kochi city limits? There could also be a fortnightly ride of more than 20-25km. I am open to ICE, EV or hybrid options.
I am 31 years old and have been using a 2016 Jupiter for the last 9 years. I now want to shift to a mid-range bike around 150cc. My riding pattern is around 60km per day, five days a week, with about 70% normal traffic and the remaining in heavy traffic. Can you advise me on the best options available in Hyderabad with a mileage of around 45kmpl? I am 5'10" with a lean build. I have been riding a 2018 Gixxer (my cousin’s) for the last month and generally feel comfortable on it, though I experience slight lower back pain occasionally. Also, please advise on the XSR 155.
I have a 2012 Honda Activa that’s nearing re-passing. It still runs well mechanically, though the exterior has issues. I don’t want to sell it, but safety for my wife is a concern. Given its reliability, I’m unsure which scooter can match it. Please suggest the best alternatives.
I own a 2012 Honda Activa that is well-maintained and still provides a hassle-free, easy ride with great utility. However, since it’s ageing and needs frequent maintenance, I’m considering upgrading. I have found Honda reliable so far, which scooter should I consider next?
Since you have had such a nice experience with your Honda Activa, you can look at the latest Activa 110cc and Activa 125cc variants of the scooter, which will carry forward the same sort of experience your current scooter delivers, with added features.
If you want to look elsewhere, the TVS Jupiter models and the Suzuki Access are our current favourites in the scooter class. If you would like something that's flashier in terms of looks and has slightly more performance without sacrificing practicality and comfort, the TVS Ntorq is a good option.
I currently ride a 2014 Honda Unicorn 150. I’m looking to upgrade to a higher-cc bike that offers mileage around 40 km/L. My budget is ₹2 lakh. I need a pillion-friendly motorcycle suitable for family use. My daily commute is about 20 km. Please suggest options.
Since you have had a good experience with a Honda machine, you could stick with the brand and go with the Honda CB300F. The CB300F is light, comfortable, spacious and will return decent fuel economy. If you want to switch brands, the Bajaj Pulsar N250 and the Suzuki Gixxer 250 make for good upgrade options with their smooth engines and comfortable ergonomics.
If you don't mind staying in the same displacement range while getting a significant performance bump, the KTM 160 Duke and Yamaha MT-15 warrant consideration. With their liquid-cooled engines and light weights, these two will give you the performance step up you want without sacrificing on mileage.
I’m planning to buy a quick and comfortable scooter for city rides. I’m 43, my daily commute is about 40 km, and my height is 5'4". The budget is around 2 lakhs.
I’ve been riding a Hero Honda CBZ Extreme for 15 years and want to change. I’m looking for a bike that’s good for adventure touring as well as city rides. I’m torn between the Triumph 4T and the Suzuki V-Strom. I’m about 5′7″ tall and around 40 years old. Please advise.
The Triumph Speed T4 is an excellent city machine, and you can also cruise on the highway at 100-110kph comfortably. It offers decent suspension comfort and will be a good fit for a one-bike garage.
The Suzuki V-Strom SX will have more spacious ergonomics and better wind protection on the highway, but its smaller engine will also limit your comfortable cruising speed to 90-100kph. On the other hand, it will also deliver improved fuel economy in the city.
