SHORT SHIFT
SUZUKI AVENIS
From the perspective of cycle parts, 125cc scooters all this while have been easy to put together. Given the kind of buyers it attracts, all you need is a tried-and-tested chassis, a motor that is punchy, but more inclined towards refinement and efficiency, and a design that feels premium and isn’t too much of an in-your-face type. This is precisely what the Suzuki Access 125 is all about. It is a great scooter that ticks all the above parameters, and that too with finesse. The same is the case with the Burgman Street, albeit with a different approach in styling. While it might not be a proper maxi-scooter, it does give that feeling of riding a large scooter, even though it isn’t. But, that’s what the 125cc scooter buyers have liked, and in turn, it has also worked in favour of Suzuki, with segment-leading numbers for the Access and healthy numbers for the Burgman Street. But, the trend has now progressed towards sporty scooters as a lot of first-time scooter users have started to opt for 125cc scooters. All major brands like TVS, Aprilia, Yamaha, and even Honda for that matter, have sporty scooters in their 125cc scooter portfolio. That said, Suzuki has finally decided to join the party with the new Avenis. Is it anything to be excited about, though? Let’s find out.
