Befitting Makeover

The Suzuki Burgman EX features some interesting changes to make it stand out. We take it out for a spin around the busy streets of Pune

THE SUZUKI BURGMAN STREET EX is one of the most premium-looking scooters available in the Indian market, so much so that it almost has a maxi-scooter vibe to it. However, the Burgman's diminutive 10-inch rear wheel was somewhat of a mismatch to the overall proportions and was an area where it needed some change. Suzuki did give in and introduced the Burgman EX, the new top variant, with a more appropriate 12-inch rear wheel, thicker rubber, and a few other niceties. Let's see what more the new trim brings to the table.

12-inch wheels improve ride and handling.

The Burgman has had its 10-inch rear wheel rim replaced by a larger 12-inch one which also gets a wider 100/80 tyre, an upgrade from the old 90/100 tyre. The new larger-diameter wheel and the wider tyre now give the Burgman EX just the right look, tipping the scales favourably towards a more visually appealing stance.
