Here’s our video review:
The BS6 Suzuki Access 125 is powered by a fuel-injected engine which cranks out 8.7ps@6750rpm, 10Nm@5500rpm and is now more fuel-efficient. Performance from the engine is still sprightly and we easily managed to clock 100 km/h on the speedometer. The engine is butter smooth throughout its operating range and the suspension aids the sporty performance of that motor. In terms of fuel efficiency, the Access 125 BS6 can return up to 55 km/l in the city and 65 km/l on the open road, if the rider is sensible with throttle inputs.

The seat is now longer and even more comfortable than the BS4 version. The LED headlight offers strong illumination and surprised us with its performance. In terms of ride quality, the Suzuki Access 125 BS6 is still a very comfortable scooter and the flat seat offers generous room to move around. Under the seat, there is 22.6 litres of space, an increment of 1.6 litres and the fuel filler cap is now above the taillight, with a lockable lid. The Access 125 BS6 is also equipped with Combined Brake System (CBS) that permits to operate both brakes only by the left lever and reduces braking distance in certain conditions.
The combi-meter gets an ECO light whose brightness can be adjusted and the digital display includes an odometer, a trip meter, settings for the ECO light’s brightness and battery voltage. For those who would like to know, the Access 125 BS6 still comes fitted with a kick lever. The scooter also gets a USB socket on the front apron which is offered as standard on the Special variant and can be fitted as an accessory on the Standard version. Compared to the Activa 125 BS6, the Access 125 BS6 might lack the features in terms of silent start and a comprehensive trip computer, but makes up for it in the everyday performance that it offers. It costs less compared to the Honda and if a value-for-money, well-built, comfortable and fun-to-ride 125cc scooter which is styled to be democratic is on your mind, you can’t go wrong with the Access 125 BS6.
