Trending Questions on Suzuki Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts
I am currently using a 10-year-old Classic 350. It is still fine, but I want to change it now. My budget is Rs 2.5 lakh, and I am considering the Honda NX200 or the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250. Please suggest which one to choose. I am open to other recommendations as well. I am not looking for a bike with an aggressive riding posture.
I want to buy a scooter. Between Honda Activa, Hero Destiny, and TVS Jupitor 125, which one is the better option ?
I am looking to buy a 125–150 cc scooter for commuting and have shortlisted the Honda Activa 125 and the TVS NTorq 150. My preference is the Activa 125 because of its overall comfort-oriented setup, and it offers adequate performance as well. However, it doesn’t come with ABS, which is why I have shortlisted the NTorq 150 as a backup - solely from the ABS perspective, as I am not interested in the extra power or flashy looks and features. I planned to purchase the Activa 125 in 2025, but I held off because of a report I read on Autocar Online last June stating that the government was likely to make ABS mandatory on 125 cc two-wheelers. When I checked with scooter showrooms, it seems no one has any idea about this. Has the plan been scrapped? Because if that’s the case, I might as well go ahead with the NTorq instead of waiting longer. I would really appreciate your guidance in this matter. Thanks in advance.
Last year, there was a proposal to make ABS mandatory on all two-wheelers, not just those above 125cc. But so far, nothing has been confirmed by the authorities on whether it is actually going to be put into practice. Therefore, we'd recommend going ahead with your purchase of the TVS Ntorq 150 if ABS on your scooter is a must-have feature.
That being said, the Suzuki Access is the more practical, spacious, comfortable and fuel-efficient scooter with adequate braking power and will be the better option for daily commuting.
I have been using a TVS Jupiter for the last three and a half years and it has covered 22,000 km without any complaints. Now I am looking to buy a new scooter. Which one is best? I am 59 years old. Please advise.
Since you have had such a good experience with TVS, you could stay within the company's fold and step up to something like an Ntorq 125 / 150. The Ntorq models pack in more performance - especially the 150. But it doesn't come at the expense of comfort or practicality, and they can easily be used on a day-to-day basis.
However, if you want to stick to a family scooter, then you should look at options like the TVS Jupiter 125, Suzuki Access and the Honda Activa 125. Of the three, the Jupiter is the only one with the huge 33-litre underseat storage area - an unmatched USP - as well as 12-inch wheels at both ends, which will give you a more stable ride over rough roads.
A test ride should help you decide which scooter is best for you.
Hi, I am 46 years old and own a Royal Enfield Electra 5S (2006 model). I am planning to buy a new scooter as my primary vehicle and keep my Enfield as a secondary one. My daily commute is about 40 km. Should I choose an IC (internal combustion) scooter or an electric one? I want a scooter with good suspension, because I’ve been riding an Enfield for almost 20 years and bumps and potholes have never been an issue thanks to its big tyres. I also want decent mileage and good performance. Awaiting your advice. Thank you.
In the ICE scooter space, among the practical, family-centric offerings, consider the TVS Jupiter 110/125 and the Suzuki Access. Both have some of the best ride qualities on an Indian scooter and are quite fuel-efficient, spacious, and practical. If you want something quicker, then the TVS Ntorq 125 / 150 models are worth taking a look at because they blend peppy performance and everyday usability quite well.
Since you have a pretty long commute, in the EV space, you should look at options like the Ather Rizta 3.7, Bajaj Chetak 35 models and TVS iQube 3.5 variants so you have enough range to tackle other things outside of your daily run. These EVs will be quite a bit more expensive to buy than the petrol-powered scooters listed above, but you will recoup the additional money with the low running costs.
We'd recommend a test ride of these machines over all sorts of roads so you can decide for yourself which is the best option for you.
I have a Suzuki Access 125 for the past 15 years. I am planning to buy a new two-wheeler. I am thinking of buying the latest Access 125 again. Please suggest any other better option in the 125 CC segment than the Suzuki Access.
I currently have a 2019 Jupiter but I’m facing a lot of issues recently and am thinking about trading it in for a new vehicle. I am looking for a scooter that I can use for office commuting (about 35 km a day) and local city travel. I want to understand which scooter is currently the best in the market in terms of performance and after-sales service, as I’ve had a very bad experience with TVS in the last year. Please share your suggestions.
Since you are dissatisfied with TVS' aftersales experience, we would recommend you take a look at scooters from Japanese brands.
Options like the Suzuki Access, Honda Activa 110 / 125 and Yamaha RayZR / Fascino Hybrid models have cemented their reputation for reliability, easy spare parts availability (especially so for the Activa and Access) and low running costs.
These scooters are also comfortable, practical and quite fuel efficient, so picking between them will boil down to which one you prefer personally. A test ride of all these should help you make a decision.
I am in the market for a scooter. I use the vehicle daily for office commuting and local city use, with about 30 km per day and around 600 km per month. I want a reliable scooter for daily city use with good after-sales service. In the past year, I have had a very bad experience with TVS service, which ruined the vehicle with poor service (sudden loss of power and engine shutoff), even though the scooter had been good for 5 years. Please suggest a suitable scooter for me.
Since you have had a bad experience with TVS recently, we'll recommend you take a look at the Suzuki Access, Honda Activa 110 / 125 models and the Yamaha Fascino / RayZR Hybrid. These Japanese scooters have an excellent reputation for reliability and are generally uncomplicated and inexpensive to service.
We must mention that the current TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 are some of the most well-rounded scooters in our opinion, and should you be willing to look past your bad experience, these should serve you well.
A test ride of all these options, as well as a chat with the service manager for these scooters. It will help paint a clearer picture and help you make an informed decision.
Hello team. I am currently using the Triumph Scrambler 400X, and it is one of the best motorcycle purchases I have ever made. However, the buzz in the foot pegs bothers me a lot. I am now planning to buy a Honda NX500 as a lifetime purchase. Does this make sense, or should I save money and get a more exciting big bike?
I own a 2012 Hero Pleasure and would like to buy a new scooter. My average monthly running will be about 80 km. I need suggestions for a new scooter, preferably under ₹1.2 lakh.
In the family scooter segment, our current top picks are the Suzuki Access, TVS Jupiter 110 / 125 and Honda Activa 110 /125. All are smooth, decently comfortable and will be fuel efficient as well as reliable in the long run.
If you want a sporty scooter, then the TVS Ntorq 125 is your best bet. Although its fuel economy will be a little lower than the others if it is ridden spiritedly.
Take a test ride of all your preferred options before you decide.
