Best 125 cc Scooters In India

Scooters are growing more and more popular in India, and it seems to be the slightly more powerful 125 cc scooters which seem to be picking up consumer interest of late. The most popular 125 cc scooters are no doubt from Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) and Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd (SMIPL). In fact, the Suzuki Access 125 is the single largest selling 125 cc scooter in India, and Suzuki has now introduced another model based on the Access 125 but with a completely new design, and it's the new Suzuki Burgman Street. The Honda Grazia too is based on the Activa 125, and while it may be the Activa 125 which has higher sales volumes, it's the Honda Grazia which is the newer model and more feature-packed. Hero MotoCorp has also jumped into the 125 cc scooter segment with the new Hero Destini 125, and TVS Motor Company has the very capable TVS NTorq 125. Here's a look at the best 125 cc scooters available on sale right now.

Hero Destini 125

Hero Destini 125

The Hero Destini 125 is the newest 125 cc scooter in the market and is the first in this segment from Hero MotoCorp. The Hero Destini 125 boasts of being the first 125 cc scooter to offer the engine idle start stop system, or i3S system, as Hero calls it, and is also one of the most affordable 125 cc scooters available right now.

Honda Grazia

Honda Grazia

Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) has a second 125 cc scooter in its portfolio, and it's the Honda Grazia, which shares its underpinnings with the Honda Activa 125, but gets fresh appeal with a new design and comes packed with more features than the Honda Activa 125. The design is fresh, smart and new, and with sharp and contemporary styling, it easily is one of the best looking 125 cc scooters in the market right now. Full-LED headlights, digital instrument panel and several cubbyholes for additional storage make the Honda Grazia an attractive option. It's powered by the same engine as the Activa 125's - 8.52 bhp at 6,500 rpm and 10.54 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 rpm. With prices starting at Rs. 59,922 (ex-showroom Delhi) for the base drum brake variant, the Grazia 125 isn't exactly affordable, and the high price goes against the price conscious buyer in this segment.

(The Suzuki Burgman Street has solid presence, thanks to its maxi-scooter design)

Suzuki Burgman Street

Suzuki has another 125 cc scooter in its portfolio, the new Suzuki Burgmann Street. The Burgman Street borrows the max-scooter design from Suzuki's Burgman range of scooters which are offered in international markets. But in India, Suzuki is only offering the 125 cc Burgman Street. The Burgman Street shares its engine and cycle parts with the Suzuki Access 125, but has a bold new design. The Suzuki Burgman Street is powered by the same 125 cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine of the Access 125, which puts out 8.5 bhp at 7,000 rpm and peak torque of 10.2 Nm at 5,000 rpm. The Suzuki Burgman Street though is expensive, with prices beginning at Rs. 68,345 (ex-showroom Delhi).

TVS NTorq 125

TVS NTorq 125

The TVS NTorq 125 is perhaps one of the best all-round 125 cc scooters available on sale right now. Boasting of being the first Bluetooth-connected scooter, the TVS NTorq 125 offers a full-digital instrument panel which offers a long list of features, including Bluetooth connectivity with any smartphone and turn by turn navigation. Powered by a three-valve 124.79 cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, the TVS NTorq 125 offers a completely different level of performance, despite its kerb weight of 116.1 kg. With 12-inch wheels on both ends, the TVS NTorq 125 also offers one of the best performance and handling packages in the 125 cc scooter segment. Prices for the TVS NTorq 125 begin at Rs. 59,712 (ex-showroom Delhi).

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
