Suzuki Burgman Street Expert Review

The 2026 Suzuki Burgman Street receives its most comprehensive update since launch, retaining its maxi-scooter styling while adopting the latest Access-derived platform. The design changes are subtle but effective, with revised bodywork, updated lighting elements and a more premium overall appearance. Practicality remains a key strength, with a spacious riding position, large floorboard and generous under-seat storage. Depending on the variant, buyers also get a TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity and a key fob system, giving the Burgman a more upmarket feel than most 125cc scooters.

Power comes from Suzuki's familiar 124cc single-cylinder engine paired with a CVT transmission. The motor delivers smooth and refined performance, making it well suited to city commuting. Throttle response is predictable and the engine remains stress free at urban speeds. One of the Burgman's biggest strengths is fuel efficiency. Autocar India's testing found that it can be extremely economical when ridden gently, making it an appealing option for riders looking to keep running costs low.

The new platform has improved the Burgman's overall riding experience. It continues to prioritise comfort, with a relaxed seating position and excellent ergonomics for daily commuting. The suspension setup is tuned towards comfort and absorbs urban road imperfections well. Despite its larger dimensions, the scooter remains easy to manoeuvre in traffic, although it does not feel quite as nimble as some lighter rivals. The Burgman's focus remains on comfort and ease of use rather than outright sporty handling.
