Suzuki just quietly dropped one of the most feature-loaded 125cc scooters India has ever seen — and the price tag is going to surprise you. The second-generation Burgman Street is officially here, and it brings TFT screens and keyless ignition into a segment where most rivals are still fighting over basic Bluetooth connectivity.
I’ve been watching the premium scooter space closely, and honestly, this launch feels like a statement. Suzuki isn’t just refreshing the Burgman Street — they’re trying to redefine what a ₹1 lakh scooter can look and feel like in 2026.
What Has Actually Changed?
The biggest jump in this generation is on the feature front. The top-spec Ride Connect TFT Edition gets a 4.2-inch colour TFT display paired with Suzuki’s Ride Connect ecosystem. But the real party trick? A full keyless ignition system complete with a remote fob and an answer-back function. You can find your scooter in a crowded parking lot with the press of a button — a feature I haven’t seen at this price point before.
The base Ride Connect Edition at ₹1,01,944 still holds its own with smart features including a USB charging port, dual front storage compartments, utility hooks, engine start/stop, side stand interlock, and waterproof switches. These aren’t luxury additions — in Indian city riding conditions, they’re genuinely useful every single day.
Design Gets A Serious Glow-Up
Suzuki has adopted what they’re calling a “Sleek Modern” design language for this generation, and it shows. Split LED headlamps with position lights give the front end a sharper, more premium presence. Combined with a smoked windscreen, compact LED indicators, and metallic-finish emblems, the new Burgman Street looks like it belongs in a segment above its price.
The maxi-scooter stance that made the original Burgman Street stand out from every Honda Activa and TVS NTorq on the street is intact — just more polished. The redesigned grab rail and aluminium pillion footpegs are small details that regular Burgman owners will genuinely appreciate.
Practicality That Matches The Premium Look
This scooter isn’t all style. Underseat storage now measures 24.6 litres, which is a practical upgrade for anyone using this as a daily commuter. The fuel tank sits at 5.5 litres, and Suzuki has moved the fuel lid to the tail section for much easier refuelling — something that frustrated older Burgman owners has finally been addressed.
The long, well-padded seat and flexible floorboard with front footrests make long city commutes noticeably more comfortable. This is a scooter built for real Indian roads, not just launch events.
Engine: Small Tweak, Real-World Difference
Under the bodywork, the same 124cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine based on Suzuki’s proven SEP platform continues. It makes 6.2 kW of power at 6,500 rpm and 10.2 Nm of torque at 5,250 rpm. The torque figure has been nudged upward compared to the outgoing model, specifically targeting better low and mid-range pull for city traffic riding.
In stop-go Mumbai or Bengaluru traffic, that low-end torque improvement is going to matter more than peak power numbers. Suzuki clearly understands who is buying this scooter and how they use it.
Variant Pricing At A Glance

Over 1.1 Million Owners Can’t Be Wrong
Since its debut in 2018, the Burgman Street has accumulated over 1.1 million customers across India. Suzuki says sales have doubled over the past three years — numbers that put this squarely in serious competitor territory against the Honda Activa 125 and TVS NTorq 125. Managing Director Kenichi Umeda called the new model “ONE & ONLY,” emphasizing that Burgman owners take genuine pride in owning something distinct from the crowd.
That pride factor matters in the premium scooter segment. Buyers at this price point aren’t just buying transportation — they’re buying identity. And the 2026 Burgman Street delivers on that better than the outgoing model did.
Should You Buy One?
Here’s where I stand: if you’re in the market for a 125cc premium scooter and you want the most technology for your money right now, the TFT Edition at ₹1.13 lakh is genuinely hard to beat. Keyless ignition and a colour TFT display at this price point is a combination no direct rival is currently offering.
Dealerships are stocking the new Burgman Street from April 8, 2026. My honest advice — go book a test ride this weekend before waiting lists build up. Premium 125cc scooters at this spec level don’t stay easily available for long, and the Burgman Street’s fan base is fiercely loyal. Head to your nearest Suzuki dealership, take it for a spin around the block, and I’m confident the TFT screen and keyless fob will do the selling for you.
