Suzuki Access 125

Suzuki's Access 125 is a decent effort with a powerful engine, comfortable seats and a stable ride. The looks are a little bulbous and not too sharp, but it is the sort of scooter that will age well. Ground clearance of 160mm is helpful in tackling bad roads. The colours available are subtle, and if you wantmore style, an SE version is available with a few more cosmetics to add to its looks.

However the competition is much younger and smarter, so the Access really needs a thorough update soon.

The engine is a 125cc paired with a CVT gearbox, good for an output of 8.5bhp. Which if take notice, is not that puny for a scooter. There is enough torque to pull two full grown adults. The stability and smoothness of the engine is fantastic at speeds above 60kmph. The ground clearance is decent too and will get you through most rough patches.

The fuel efficiency hovers around the 43kmpl mark which is notes impressive as the competition, but what will impress you is the rapid progress that the Access makes. If you are looking for outright fuel economy, then this is not the best bet. However we do support it as the performance it delivers will take its toll on efficiency.

The performance for a scooter, as mentioned earlier, is quicker and faster than the what is required. The initial burst of acceleration through the 125cc engine is good enough to excite you. Some extra fat on the Access might mean it has a smooth ride, however the stiff suspension setup makes it slightly bumpy on uneven roads. Overall the package works.
