Suzuki Access 125's underseat storage has grown from 21.8 litres in the outgoing generation to 24.4 litres in the current model, a change that runs through much of what makes this scooter's specification sheet noteworthy. The new front cubbies, however, are rather narrow, too tight to hold a 1-litre bottle.
The Access 125 uses a single 124cc engine paired with a CVT automatic transmission across the entire range, meaning every model, from entry trim to top-spec trim, delivers identical performance. Autocar India's road test found the engine so smooth that even at 90kph there is no buzz through the floorboard or handlebar. Seat height is 773mm and kerb weight is around 105kg.
Wheel sizes are 12 inches up front and 10 inches at the rear. Autocar India's comparison testing noted that the smaller 10-inch rear wheel compromises stability at higher speeds and while cornering, feeling unnervingly vague when leaned over, a trade-off against the otherwise roomy floorboard and generous seat and underseat space.
Based on most reviews, I went with the Suzuki Access 125. It was good and pretty smooth.
my 2025 model Suzuki Access main lock is not working to open Seat. When I ask service center they simply told this lock system is failure sir you need to replace with new lock set
From since 2024 model access 125 there are main problem starts, at 2024 model they had battery drain and starting problem with the decent milage, comfort, maintanence etc and after sale service is bad at even the top tier cities and after 2025 model the colours not good and they fully changed only the design with all cheap quality materials of everywhere from footrest to body parts using plastic of low quality and it has improved mulage upto 50kmpl in cities and 45kmpl at highway, the sound is not the great as it sounds louder than previous models and their hectic display features with app they are not good at all there is nothing in the app totally the waste of money to buy display, many Times while riding to a destination the roads are not there Even if i go it showing the route and after u turn also it shows the same route then I asked strangers to give me the direction to main road, many had all features like tvs but this nothing fits for technology in apps there are lots in other brands and maps are in detail like Google map or Apple map Even if i give some famous known destination it doesn't give we should search for nearby places or bus stops Pros: 1. good milage than previous and compared to other brands 2. Kind of good hard suspension with improved soft at bumps compared to previous model not the Best as oldest model and other companies 3. Family scooter sufficient space 4. To ride it is good 5. Front disc is Good given but not the best braking because of their lack in braking system upgrade Concs: 1. Displa features 2. App is not satisfied 3. Upgrade the performance and material from footrest to body parts including side stand, seats is shaking and while putting centre stand there is no space to place Hand with paining due to their not curved back resting One. Even the startup companies gives their best with all upgrades and material quality 4. Tire size and their brand is not great as the previous all were good Brands 5. Service centre With lacks of knowledge THIS is alltime waste since their brand in motorcycle Final Verdict: Don't go for it because the motorcycle is not much working to them, they should atleast have best hereafter or else their company should not do further except their engine as it is the only thing i liked in suzuki.
For daily use, the Suzuki Access 125 feels more refined compared to the Destini. It is a good option if you prefer petrol and want a no-fuss scooter.
I have booked a vehicle on 26th of April, but the company is unable to deliver it till now.
Low maintenance costs, promise of reliability
Very good fuel efficiency
Lacks start/stop tech
Still uses a 10-inch rear wheel

I am a 47-year-old male (5 ft 9 in, 85 kg) looking to buy a long-term, reliable, strong and powerful scooter. My daily city commute is about 15-20 km, and my budget is up to ₹1.5 lakh. I am currently considering the TVS Ntorq 150, TVS Jupiter 125, Suzuki Access 125 and Honda Activa 125. Are there any other scooters I should consider? Please advise.
The TVS Ntorq 150 is the most powerful scooter in your shortlist, and it will also be the most fun to ride. It is also the most feature-packed, with a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes and a host of other features. The TVS Jupiter 125 is a more practical option, with plush ride quality and a huge 33-litre underseat storage space. The Suzuki Access 125 is a family scooter with peppy performance that should be very reliable and fuel-efficient, too. The Honda Activa 125 doesn't have any one standout feature, but is a proven package you can't really go wrong with.Take a test ride of all four so you can pick the one that best suits your needs.
I want to buy a powerful bike like the Duke 390 or one of the Royal Enfield 650s, but I do not have the budget right now. For the time being, I want to buy a bike or scooter that is smooth and vibration-free, as smoothness is my only major criterion. I feel the Suzuki Access 125 is the right choice. Do you have any better alternatives for me? I plan to use this scooter or bike for 5-8 years and then upgrade to the bike I love after saving up.
In the scooter space, the Suzuki Access is a great option because it has a turbine smooth engine, has cemented its reputation for reliability and is quite practical and comfortable too. You can also take a look at the TVS Jupiter models, which have the biggest boot on an Indian-made petrol scooter, as well as great ride and stability with their 12-inch wheels at both ends.Lastly, you can also take a look at the Honda Activa models, which are a safe bet, and you can't go wrong with either of them.
I am looking to buy a new scooter primarily for city commuting, with a typical daily riding distance of around 7 to 8 km. My pillion rider is a senior citizen, so ease of getting on and off, comfortable seating, and a stable ride are important considerations. Price is not an issue. Kindly suggest a suitable scooter that would meet these requirements.
Given your low daily run and emphasis on comfort and practicality, we'd advise you to choose between the Honda Activa 110 / 125, Suzuki Access 125 and TVS Jupiter 125. These are reliable, fuss-free, comfortable, fuel-efficient and practical machines - basically textbook family scooter options - which will all suit your needs very well. We'd recommend you take your pillion with you on your test ride and then gauge which one fits your needs best.
I am a new learner and am planning to buy a two-wheeler in Pune. With so many options available, I am quite confused. I want something that is not too heavy and is smooth to ride, as I will be commuting 30-40 km every day. I also want a reliable engine that does not require frequent maintenance or servicing, as I plan to keep the vehicle for as long as possible. I am 5ft 7in, so it should also be suitable for my height. I would prefer an ethanol-compatible petrol two-wheeler that will not give me trouble. Which bike or scooter would be suitable for me?
You haven't specified whether or not you want a geared motorcycle or a CVT scooter, so we'll suggest reputable options from both brackets.If you are looking to get your first bike as a tool to learn how to operate the clutch and gears, then you should consider the Honda Shine 125 / SP125 / CB125 Hornet, TVS Raider, Hero Super Splendor / Xtreme 125R. These are all well-priced, smooth, fuel-efficient and comfortable machines which should last you a long time and keep you comfortable over your 40km commute.If a scooter is what you prefer, then pick from reputed options like the Honda Activa 110 / 125, TVS Jupiter 110 / 125, Suzuki Access and Yamaha Fascino / RayZR.You should choose based on two things: first, which bike/scooter you gel with most on your test ride and whichever one has a service centre not too far from your residence / office for hassle-free ownership in the long run.
Hi, I am looking to buy a scooter for my 71-year-old dad, who is currently using a 2012 model Activa. Kindly suggest some petrol scooters for him, as I am not considering an EV. His usage is limited to a maximum of 50-80 km per month. Please suggest some suitable options and the best one, considering ride quality and comfort for his age. Thank you in advance!
Since your father is already familiar with the venerable Activa, stepping up to the Honda Activa 125 would be a good idea. The Activa 125 is smooth, has decent comfort, will be easy to manage and hassle-free to own over a longer period. If you want a change of pace, the Suzuki Access 125 would be our recommendation. The Access has trademark strengths expected of a practical, family-oriented scooter, like being fuel-efficient, comfortable, practical and reliable, but also throws zippy performance into the mix. Take your father for test rides of both before zeroing in on your next purchase.
