New Delhi — Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. has officially launched the new-generation Burgman Street in India, with prices starting at ₹1,01,944 (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the base Ride Connect Edition and going up to ₹1,13,220 for the top-spec Ride Connect TFT Edition. The updated scooter will be available across dealerships from April 8, 2026.
The launch marks the most significant generational update to the Burgman Street since its India debut in 2018, building on a platform shared with the recently overhauled Suzuki Access 125. Suzuki says the Burgman Street has crossed cumulative sales of over 1.1 million units since its introduction.
A Measured Refresh, Not a Reinvention
The approach Suzuki has taken with the new Burgman Street is one of deliberate refinement rather than wholesale transformation — a strategy consistent with the brand’s handling of the Access 125 update in the preceding year. Most changes are incremental: the fundamentals of the maxi-scooter formula remain intact, while several components have been upgraded in ways that should be meaningful to everyday riders.
The most noticeable updates come in the lighting design, with a revised LED headlight and tail-lamp setup giving the scooter a noticeably fresh look. It also gets a more angular, boxy exhaust muffler. The headlight design draws visual cues from Suzuki’s internationally sold higher-displacement models.
Underneath, the Burgman Street is now based on a new platform shared with the Suzuki Access, featuring a frame that is claimed to be 500 g lighter while offering 25 percent higher torsional rigidity. While a weight reduction of half a kilogram may appear modest in absolute terms, the claim of increased torsional stiffness is relevant to straight-line stability at speed — a characteristic that Burgman Street riders, known for spirited highway use, may notice.
Powertrain: Familiar Engine, Small Upgrades
Powering the Burgman is a 124cc fuel-injected air-cooled engine producing 8.4 hp and 10.2 Nm, paired with a CVT gearbox. Both power and torque have seen a marginal uptick compared to the outgoing variant, though Suzuki has not repositioned the scooter as a performance product. The engine continues to be based on the company’s SEP (Suzuki Eco Performance) platform, which prioritises a balance of efficiency and refinement.
The company has also revised the clutch mechanism, claiming a quieter start-up compared to the previous generation — a refinement aimed at daily usability rather than outright performance.
Two New Variants, One Carryover
The lineup now consists of two main variants: the Ride Connect Edition priced at ₹1,01,944 and the new Ride Connect TFT Edition priced at ₹1,13,220. The Burgman Street EX continues to be sold alongside at ₹1,07,902, allowing Suzuki to cater to a wider range of buyers.
The differentiation between variants is meaningful. The base Ride Connect Edition comes with an LCD instrument cluster and a conventional physical key, while the top-spec TFT Edition adds a 4.2-inch colour TFT display with keyless ignition via a remote key fob — a setup comparable to what Suzuki already offers on the EXS, its debut electric scooter in India.
The TFT variant also introduces an answer-back function, USB charging port, dual front storage compartments, dual utility hooks, engine start/stop system, side stand interlock, and waterproof switches.
Where the legacy EX variant differentiates itself is in one specific area: it remains the only variant in the Burgman range to offer silent start and Engine Auto Stop-Start (EASS) fuel-saving technology — features absent from both new-generation variants. Buyers prioritising fuel economy and low-noise starts will need to choose between the older EX configuration and the newer design updates.

Practicality Improvements
Storage capacity has been a practical priority in this update. Underseat storage has increased to 24.6 litres, up from 21.5 litres, and the scooter also gets USB charging and twin cubby holes, similar to the Access. The expanded storage can accommodate an Indian full-face helmet, though fitting larger imported helmets with the seat fully shut may remain a challenge.
The fuel tank capacity is 5.5 litres, with a tail-mounted fuel lid for easier refuelling. This external fuel filler cap — mirroring the Access 125 update — removes the need to open the underseat storage to refuel, a practical convenience for frequent riders.
Comfort and practicality have also been enhanced with a long and well-padded seat, flexible floorboard with front footrests, a redesigned grab rail, and aluminium pillion footpegs. Ground clearance stands at 160 mm.
Safety: The ABS Omission
One notable absence in the new Burgman Street lineup is single-channel ABS, which has been made available on the Suzuki Access 125 at a starting price of ₹93,228. The scooter continues with a front disc and rear drum brake setup with Suzuki’s Combined Brake System and notably misses out on ABS.
The omission is likely to draw scrutiny, particularly given that ABS is increasingly becoming a standard expectation in the premium 125cc scooter segment. Whether Suzuki plans to introduce an ABS variant at a later stage has not been confirmed.
Market Context and Competition
The Burgman Street occupies a niche position within India’s 125cc scooter segment — one where design appeal, ergonomic comfort, and maxi-scooter styling carry significant purchase weight alongside raw performance figures. Its primary competition includes maxi-styled and premium alternatives such as the Honda Activa 125, TVS NTorq 125, and Yamaha Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid, though none directly replicate the Burgman’s distinct upright, big-scooter aesthetic.
Speaking at the launch, Kenichi Umeda, Managing Director of Suzuki Motorcycle India, said sales had doubled over the past three years, and that the brand aimed for the new model to continue delivering “a unique combination of design, comfort, balance and real-world usability.”
The pricing band — ₹1.02 lakh to ₹1.13 lakh — positions the new Burgman Street at a noticeable premium over the Access 125, reinforcing its identity as the company’s lifestyle-focused offering within the 125cc category. With over 1.1 million units sold over nearly eight years, Suzuki’s conservative update strategy reflects confidence in an established buyer profile rather than an attempt to attract a new demographic.
The decision to retain the EX variant alongside two new-generation models gives the brand a three-pronged lineup that addresses different buyer priorities: everyday value, connected features, and the specialised stop-start technology that the EX alone offers.
What Has Not Changed
The chassis setup continues with telescopic front suspension and a rear monoshock, riding on 12-inch wheels at both ends. No major changes have been made to the suspension geometry, brake system architecture, or overall scooter dimensions. The 2026 Burgman Street is, in essence, a meaningfully improved version of a well-proven product — not a ground-up reinvention.
Whether this approach sustains its sales trajectory will become clearer once the model reaches showrooms on April 8 and buyers assess the new-generation variant against its key competitive alternatives.
