Trending Questions on Suzuki Bikes - Answered by Autocar Experts
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 want to change my bike and am confused between the Honda Hโness CB350, Honda NX200, Suzuki V-Storm, and Suzuki Gixxer. Please suggest which one is good and has an affordable service cost.
All the bikes you are considering are great options and have reasonable servicing costs. The CB350 H'ness is a relaxed, comfortable retro bike with a smooth, torquey engine. The Honda NX200 is a tall, quasi-ADV based on the Hornet 2.0 street bike, which means it will be suitable for daily use.
The Gixxer and V-Strom SX from Suzuki are refined, punchy machines that are also fuel-efficient and quite reliable.
A test ride of all 4 is in order so that you can decide which is the best option for your needs.
Sir, I am looking for a two-wheeler for city commuting. My requirements are a comfortable ride, good fuel economy, and low maintenance cost. The vehicle will be used by both myself and my wife. We have shortlisted the TVS NTorq, TVS Jupiter, TVS Ray Z, Suzuki Access, Yamaha X-Zoom 125, and Aprilia SR125/SXR 150. Although we are inclined towards the Aprilia SR125, we have concerns about after-sales service and higher maintenance costs. Kindly advise which one will be the most suitable option for our requirements.
You are correct to be concerned about Aprilia's aftersales service as it is generally on the more expensive side, and the experience can also be hit / miss. Sticking with offerings from other brands like TVS, Yamaha and Suzuki would be our recommendation for a hassle-free ownership experience.
Among your shortlisted options, the Jupiter, Ray ZR and Access are typical family scooters which will be comfortable, fuel-efficient and reliable in the long run. Our pick would be the Jupiter because it is the most rounded product, although the Access comes very close and is also noticeably quicker.
Between the two sporty scooters, the TVS Ntorq makes for a better all-rounder because even though it is sporty, it doesn't sacrifice practicality or comfort.
Take a test ride of all options you consider before making your purchase.
Can you guide me between the Yamaha Fascino S 125 Hybrid top model and the Suzuki Access 125 TFT top model in terms of long-term reliability, comfort, ease of riding, maintenance costs, and performance? The scooter will be used by my wife 70% of the time. We have a baby girl who is currently 7 months old, so I am looking for a good family scooter for the long term.
First off, both the scooters you are looking at are proven products from reputed Japanese makes, so in the end, whichever one you decide to go with, you should, by and large, have a good experience.
The Suzuki Access is a stellar family scooter option because it has traditional strengths like comfort, practicality, fuel efficiency and a reputation for reliability. Also, it is rather fun to ride with its peppy engine and balanced handling. It also has a bigger underseat storage area, which is a USP in comparison to the Yamaha Fascino 125.
The Fascino's strong points are that it is exceptionally fuel efficient and it is one of the lightest two-wheelers on sale in the country today. If those are important to you and your wife, then the Yamaha would make for a sensible purchase.
A test ride of both will help you decide which is the better fit for you.
I have been using a TVS Zest for 10 years and now want to change it. I am confused between the Honda Jupiter 110 and the new Honda Activa 110. I will cover about 50 km per week, so my usage is very light. Please suggest which one I should choose, or recommend other options except EVs.
Since you are familiar with the TVS bike ownership experience, you could stick with the brand's products and go for the Jupiter 110 / 125, depending on your preference. Both are smooth, practical, fuel-efficient, reliable, feature-rich and lightweight products. Their 33-litre underseat storage area is a particular highlight, something no other rival can match.
On the other hand, the Honda Activa, while a dated product in some areas, is also a hassle-free scooter. It's a product you really can't go wrong with.
If you want to look elsewhere, the Suzuki Access 125 is also a fantastic all-rounder with a little more pep in its step than the two 110cc family scooters mentioned here.
A test ride of all three will help you decide what is the best option for you.
Which family scooter or bike is best for both city and highway use for me? My height is 5โฒ3โณ.
In the family scooter space, consider the TVS Jupiter 110 and 125, Honda Activa 110 and 125, as well as the Suzuki Access, which are our top picks in the category currently.
Since you haven't mentioned a price cap or displacement range for the motorcycle, we will provide options from both the 125cc and 160cc commuter classes. They will be easy-going, frugal, comfortable, and affordable machines to buy and own.
In the 125cc class, bikes like the Honda Shine 125 / SP125 / Honda CB125 Hornet, Hero Xtreme 125R / Super Splendor / Glamour and TVS Raider warrant strong consideration.
Coming to the 160cc class, bikes like the Bajaj Pulsar N160, TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Honda Unicorn / SP160 and Yamaha FZ models are worth taking a look at.
Take a test ride of all before you make a decision.
Sir, I want to buy a new bike for my son. He is 6โฒ1โณ tall and weighs 90 kg. I want a bike with good safety features for his daily use of around 40 km. My budget is below โน3 lakh. Please advise.
Since this will be his first bike, we recommend getting a bike with dual-channel ABS (at the very least) in terms of safety features. Keeping his physique in mind, bikes like the Hero Xpulse 200 / 210, Royal Enfield Bullet / Classic 350, TVS Ronin, Honda CB350 trio and Suzuki V-Strom SX will be good options to consider.
Do take him for test rides of all of these so he can decide which one fits him best.
Can you guide me between the Suzuki Burgman Street EX top model and the TVS Ntorq top model in terms of long-term reliability, comfort, ease of riding, maintenance costs, and performance? I am 47 years old, weigh around 85 kg, and am 5 feet 9 inches tall.
I am new to two-wheeler riding in the city and am also a short rider. I have only used a Honda Activa 125 so far. I am confused between buying a geared or a non-geared two-wheeler. I do not know how to ride a geared motorcycle yet, but I am willing to learn. This purchase will be for multipurpose use, including office commutes and short city rides. Please advise.
Hello Autocar India. I have been using a Honda Activa 6G since 2002 and want to replace it with either a TVS Jupiter 113 or a Suzuki Access 125. I have been riding Honda scooters since 2006. Which scooter is a better replacement for me?
Both the TVS Jupiter 110 and the Suzuki Access 125 are good options to consider. The Jupiter is a more modern scooter and offers far more features than anything in its class. Also, it's very practical thanks to its huge 33-litre underseat storage area. The Access has all the strengths of a traditional family scooter, but it has peppy performance that will put a smile on your face during daily errands.
You can also take a look at the Honda Activa 125 since you are familiar with the Honda ownership experience. The bigger Activa is a smooth, comfortable, practical and fuel-efficient scooter which will also be reliable and easy to live with.
We suggest you take a test ride of all three scooters to see which one you find more comfortable.
