Expert Reviews on Suzuki Bikes

The 125cc scooter segment has suddenly become as popular as the 110cc space. Customers want more power and features. They also have more disposable income. So most of the manufacturers are hustling their way into this spectrum because no one wants to lose this opportunity. Suzuki has been in this space for a while now, with the Access 125. But it took things to a whole new level with the new Access 125 which was launched in early 2016. It had the right ingredients to not only make it an exciting scooter, but also a value-for-money scooter. But now, it has a sporty rival, the Aprilia SR 125 which promises to offer the same amount of excitement, if not better. But is it a value for money purchase? Let’s find out! 

The Suzuki Access 125 has been our favourite premium scooter so far. Can Honda do with its new premium scooter what it managed to do with the Activa?

Folklore says that the Intruder M1800 had to be fitted with a torque limiter to stop the monstrous engine from busting the gearbox. Well, no such risk over here.

The GSX-R series is what truly defines Suzuki. The first – a 750cc – rolled out over three decades ago. It was followed by an 1100 and then in the year 2001 came the 1000cc.

We've got a rematch on the Aprilia vs Suzuki scooters - but this time the Aprilia has returned in a new avatar, the Race. Is it enough to dethrone the Access?

For the better part of the last three decades, Suzuki and Yamaha have been locked in a fierce battle. 100cc two-strokes had been around for a while, but the launch of Shogun in 1993 took the fight to the next level. The Suzuki had a 10cc advantage over the Yamaha RX100, was more powerful and the oozed sex appeal like no other bike. And yet it failed. 23 years down the line, it is the same story. 

The Gixxer SF is the bike to own if you want to be one of the coolest guys in your college group. It is available in a lot of flashy colours, gets a full- fairing and has a name that’s related to a big bike. But the Gixxer SF Fi has some new additions. It gets fuel-injection and a rear disc brake. So you can have better throttle response, can ride a little faster and have improved stopping distance, too. To top it off, this version is available only in the Suzuki MotoGP paint scheme which looks outstanding. 

The excitement to ride an inline-four never ceases. There’s a massive rush of adrenaline each time the throttle is opened and every time the bike comes to a standstill from high speed. Experience like these are the best ones and the Suzuki GSX-S1000F is all about those. 

Trying a new approach, Suzuki decided to shake up things in its portfolio and modernise all its two-wheelers. One of the products to benefit from this rejig is the Hayate EP. Featuring a new diamond frame and swingarm, revised suspension setup and Suzuki Eco Performance, the Hayate EP promises to be the perfect commuter bike for urban and rural users alike. But will this be enough to take on its rivals? We decided to find out.

The Aprilia SR 150 isn’t just another scooter. A 150cc engine, 14-inch wheels, and styling that’s reflective of sportsbikes. The SR then is a game changer; a motorcycle in disguise; a true race day companion. Well, at least that’s what its maker, Piaggio India, would like us to believe. Now we did put the SR 150 against a motorcycle – you can read that story here – and the Aprilia did surprisingly well. But, its real test has to be against another scooter.
