Suzuki Motorcycle India has introduced an updated version of the Burgman scooter in the Indian market, expanding its premium 125 cc lineup. The new model is positioned alongside the existing Burgman Street EX, which continues unchanged in terms of pricing and features.
With refreshed styling, added features, and familiar mechanicals, the latest Burgman aims to enhance everyday usability while retaining its established performance characteristics.
Overview
The new Suzuki Burgman has been launched at a starting price of Rs 1.02 lakh (ex-showroom), while the higher variant is priced at Rs 1.13 lakh (ex-showroom). It is available in two variants and continues to target urban commuters looking for a combination of comfort and practicality.
Suzuki has focused on incremental updates rather than a complete overhaul, ensuring continuity with the existing Burgman lineup.
Design
One of the key highlights of the updated Burgman is its revised front design. The scooter now features dual-pod LED headlights, a styling element inspired by the larger Burgman models available in international markets.
In addition to design tweaks, Suzuki has expanded the colour palette. The available options now include Pearl Grace White, Mat Stellar Blue, Royal Bronze, Mat Black, and Pearl Mat Shadow Green. The higher variant also offers dual-tone paint finishes incorporating Mat Luxe Copper accents.
These changes contribute to a more premium visual appeal while maintaining the maxi-scooter styling that the Burgman range is known for.
Features
Suzuki has enhanced the feature set of the new Burgman to improve convenience and rider experience. The scooter now includes a 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster with navigation support, offering improved visibility and connectivity.
It also gets a keyless system with a remote FOB, allowing easier access and ignition without inserting a physical key. Additional features include the Suzuki Easy Start system, silent start functionality, and full LED lighting.
Storage remains a strong point, with two front storage compartments and 24.6 litres of underseat storage, making it suitable for daily commuting needs.
Hardware
The mechanical setup of the scooter remains largely unchanged. The new Burgman continues to use telescopic front suspension and a swing arm type rear suspension, which are tuned for comfort over city roads.
Braking duties are handled by a front disc brake and a rear drum brake, offering balanced stopping performance. The scooter rides on 12-inch alloy wheels and is equipped with a 5.5-litre fuel tank, supporting a practical range for urban use.
Engine
Powering the new Burgman is Suzuki’s 124 cc, 4-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled SOHC engine, based on the Suzuki Eco Performance (SEP) platform.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Engine | 124 cc |
| Power | 8 hp |
| Torque | 10.2 Nm |
| Cooling | Air-cooled |
The engine is tuned to deliver strong low to mid-range performance, which is particularly useful in city riding conditions. It aims to provide smooth acceleration, refined operation, and consistent efficiency.
Pricing
The pricing structure reflects Suzuki’s positioning of the Burgman as a premium offering in the 125 cc scooter segment.
| Variant | Price (Ex-showroom) |
|---|---|
| Base Variant | Rs 1.02 lakh |
| Top Variant | Rs 1.13 lakh |
The existing Burgman Street EX continues to be sold at its current price point, giving buyers more options within the lineup.
Positioning
Suzuki’s decision to sell the new Burgman alongside the Burgman Street EX indicates a strategy to cater to a wider audience. While the EX variant continues to focus on efficiency and familiarity, the new model adds more features and updated styling for buyers seeking a more premium experience.
This dual-product approach allows Suzuki to maintain its presence in the competitive 125 cc scooter segment while offering differentiated choices.
Verdict
The updated Suzuki Burgman introduces measured improvements in design and features without altering its core mechanical foundation. With additions such as a TFT display, keyless system, and revised styling, it aims to enhance the overall ownership experience.
By retaining the proven engine and hardware while expanding the feature set, Suzuki has positioned the new Burgman as a practical yet more refined option in the urban scooter category. Its availability alongside the Burgman Street EX provides flexibility for buyers with varying preferences and budgets.
