The Suzuki Burgman Street 125 has been released in India as part of Suzuki’s push to make small-displacement scooters feel bigger, more premium, and more livable day to day. And quite frankly, the timing couldn't possibly be any better.
Let’s not pretend this exists in a vacuum. A certain president thought it would be a good idea to wage war in the Middle East and cause global oil prices to skyrocket uncontrollably. Fuel prices in the US have surged, and over here in Asia where I'm from, it’s been even more brutal. Here in the Philippines, gasoline has doubled, and diesel has literally TRIPLED in the span of a month. Suddenly, every commute becomes a financial decision.
Just a couple of days ago, Janaki wrote a story about how now is the best time to start commuting on a motorcycle. Because when fuel prices go crazy, people start looking at two wheels. Not for fun, not for weekend blasts, but because it just makes sense. And this is exactly where something like the Burgman Street 125 starts to click.
