Imagine a big, comfy scooter rolling up with a fresh new color – that’s the 2026 Suzuki Burgman Street EX. Suzuki just gave this 125cc “maxi-scooter” a small facelift, mostly adding a Pearl Grace White color and smart tech, while keeping the core the same. It’s meant to be a chill city ride, not a speed demon.
This maxi-scooter has a long, padded seat and a tall windscreen for a relaxed ride. If you’ve ever sat on a Burgman, you’ll notice there’s plenty of room for both you and a passenger, and even extra footroom if your legs need to stretch. The footboards are wide and flat, so you can move your feet around like on a couch. Plus, a body-mounted windscreen helps cut the breeze on early morning rides.
Launch and Price
Suzuki launched this 2026 Burgman Street EX on March 13, 2026. It didn’t hike the price – it’s still around ₹1.08 lakh (ex-showroom) in Delhi for all colors. That’s for the Pearl Grace White, Metallic Royal Bronze, or Matte Black No. 2 – all cost the same. (Suzuki quietly dropped the blue color that was available before.) In metro areas after taxes and insurance, expect the on-road price to be roughly ₹1.20–1.25 lakh.
Suzuki kept the EX as a single, “fully-loaded” variant. The “EX” in its name means it now has a 12-inch rear wheel (up from 10-inch) for better stability over potholes. The rest of the design, like the wide front panels and stepped seat, is the same laid-back maxi-scooter style that Burgman Street is known for.
Engine and Performance
Under the hood, nothing much changed: it still has a 124cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This old friend makes about 8.6 bhp (8.58 bhp or ~8.7 PS) at 6,500 rpm and around 10 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. In simpler terms, it won’t win any drag races, but it’s zippy enough for city traffic. The engine uses fuel injection for smooth throttle response, and Suzuki’s engineers claim it’s easy to maintain and fuel-efficient.
A big new addition is the Suzuki Eco Performance Alpha tech. This includes an Engine Auto Stop-Start (EASS) system. At a red light or in stop-and-go traffic, the engine can shut off automatically to save petrol, then restart instantly when you twist the throttle. There’s also a silent starter, so it purrs back to life quietly. In tests, this setup was very frugal – around 52.6 km per litre (about 1.9 L/100km) under ideal conditions. With the 5.5-litre tank, that’s roughly 280–290 km range on a full tank, meaning fewer fuel stops for your daily rides.
The Burgman Street EX has a smooth CVT automatic transmission, so no clutch or gears to worry about. Suzuki also throws in an “Easy Start” button system, so you barely need to press the starter. Braking is handled by a 190 mm front disc and a 130 mm rear drum with CBS (Combined Braking System) for balanced stops. The long wheelbase (about 1,290 mm) and tuned suspension help it feel stable and comfy, even if the roads are bumpy.
Fuel Efficiency and Eco Features
One thing riders will notice is how little petrol this thing drinks. Thanks to the Auto Stop-Start and the efficient engine, you’ll spend more time riding and less time at the pump. Suzuki’s own figures (from a lab test) say about 52.6 km per litre. In real life with traffic, you might see around 45-50 kmpl, which is great. The little eco indicator on the dash lights up when you’re riding efficiently – kind of like giving you a pat on the back for being frugal.
Features and Convenience
Suzuki didn’t skimp on features even though this is their budget-friendly maxi-scooter. The dashboard is a full digital screen with Bluetooth connectivity (Suzuki Ride Connect). Hook your phone up and you can get turn-by-turn navigation on the display – handy if you want to explore the city without constantly checking your phone. It will also show call and message alerts, battery level, and even warn you if you’re speeding.
Lighting is all LED, so the headlamp and tail lamp are bright and crisp. There’s a sturdy 21.5 litre underseat storage box – big enough for a helmet or groceries. In the front apron, you get small cubby-holes and a USB charging port to top up your devices on the go. There are also a couple of hooks up front to hang bags (with one that locks) – so it’s easy to carry your knapsack or shopping.
The seat is dual-tone and quite plush. A neat little detail: Suzuki added folding aluminum footpegs for the passenger. This means your pillion rider can get comfy too, and those pegs tuck away when not needed. The windscreen is fixed on the body, giving you a bit of wind protection (and making you feel a bit like you’re on a touring scooter). All around, the new Burgman Street EX packs in creature comforts to make daily rides smoother.
Practicality in Daily Use
For city riders, the Burgman Street EX feels friendly. The 21.5L underseat boot means you won’t fumble with a bag; you can toss your helmet, jacket, or even a small grocery haul inside. The wide, flat floorboard is great if you need to shift your feet around – no cramped knees. The scooter is also pretty nimble, despite its size. At parking time, you’ll appreciate that it’s not too heavy, and you have both a centre stand and a side stand to use.
Fueling up is rare – you can cruise nearly 300 km before the tank runs dry. This is nice when petrol prices are on people’s minds. And maintenance is low-key: no gearbox oil changes or spark plugs, just usual checks. So overall, it’s a “set it and forget it” kind of ride, saving time and headaches.
Who Should Ride It?
If you’re looking at scooters, think about why you want one. The Burgman Street EX is built for comfort and a relaxed ride, not for tearing up the highway. It’s great if you do daily commutes, city errands, or school/college runs. The long seat and steady ride mean even short road trips with a buddy won’t be back-breaking.
For long highway trips, remember it’s a 125cc engine. Top speed is likely around 90–100 km/h, so you can cruise on slower highways or state highways, but it’s not made for blistering speed. You could take it on a weekend getaway, but most riders would swap for something bigger on long stretches. If your grandma is riding pillion or you have a schoolbag full of books, the Burgman Street EX handles the load better than many smaller scooters.
In short: it’s excellent around town and capable enough for a mix of city and some highway; but it’s really happiest in the city traffic. You won’t break any land-speed records, but you’ll get around without hassle and in comfort.
Suzuki Burgman Street EX vs Rivals
At roughly ₹1.08 lakh, it lines up against other premium 125cc scooters. Think Aprilia SR 125 or TVS NTORQ 125. Compared to those sporty, tuning-friendly scooters, the Burgman is more “cushy lounge” than “racetrack”. It has slightly less power than the SR 125 or NTORQ, but it gives a smoother ride and more storage. The others might feel peppier off the line, but the Burgman’s advantages are its comfort and fuel efficiency.
Plus, Suzuki’s after-sales network and proven engine mean peace of mind. Many riders pick it because they want a no-fuss daily that’s easy on fuel and comfy for two.
Suzuki Burgman Street EX Resale and Value
Want to know about resale? Generally, Suzuki scooters hold value well in India thanks to reliability and a wide dealer network. The Burgman Street has a loyal fanbase. If you take care of it, many believe you’ll get a decent resale price when you sell. Things like the scooter’s unique maxi style and extra features can help keep its value up compared to a plain-jane 110cc scooter.
Of course, resale depends on condition, mileage, and region. Still, sellers online list used Burgman Streets for ₹60k-80k after a few years, which is pretty healthy. So, this isn’t a model that tanks to scrap price overnight. Owners say it’s one of the safer bets if you consider second-hand value for scooters.
