Suzuki Burgman Street Scooter Launched In India; Priced At Rs. 68,000

Suzuki Motorcycle India has this habit of bucking the trend. First, it did so with the launch of the Intruder last year, and now it has done it again with the launch of the Burgman Street. Priced at Rs. 68,000, the Burgman Street 125 now becomes the flagship scooter from Suzuki in India and it breaks the mould in which a typical gearless scooter in designed. Drawing inspiration from its bigger Burgman scooter siblings, the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 is maxi-scooter, one of the very, very few to be launched in India. A big front apron along with a tall windscreen, the Burgman 125 will surely have solid street presence on the road. The angular LED headlamp along with the indicators integrated into the front apron and the step seat make for a decent looking scooter.
