Suzuki Burgman Street 125EX 2023–2026: Specs & Facts

The Machine's Character

The Burgman Street 125EX is a small commuter wearing maxi-scooter clothes. It runs a 124 cc air-cooled single with Suzuki's SEP-α technology, rated at 9 hp and 8 lb-ft. A belt handles the final drive and a steel tube frame holds it all together. Suzuki adds Engine Auto Stop-Start and its Silent Starter System, both meant for stop-and-go traffic. A center stand and a USB charging port come standard. Suzuki says the underseat compartment holds 5.7 gal (21.5 L). That's the brand in a nutshell: no show, plenty of substance. Quietly clever.

The spec sheet makes the target obvious: the city. It has a 30.7 in (780 mm) seat, weighs 243 lb (110 kg) wet and rolls on 12-inch wheels at both ends. On paper, that's a compact, light package built for tight parking spots and dense traffic. The frugal air-cooled single keeps running costs low, and the 1.5 gal (5.5 L) tank is sized for short daily hops. The flat floorboard and underseat storage suit a rider who wants commuting and errands handled without a top box. If you need more space, Suzuki offers a luggage system as an option. Pure utility.
