Suzuki has tied up with Salman Khan's Being Human foundation to come up with a "Special Edition" version of the Access 125 scooter. The scooter is priced at 54,375 rupees, a price that's about a thousand rupees more than the regular variant. The Special Edition variant of the Access 125 is strictly a cosmetic sprucing up affair with the mechanicals remaining untouched.

The scooter gets the following cosmetic changes:

Chromed handlebar mounted rear view mirrors
Tan leatherette seat cover
Chromed rear grab handle
Suzuki "Apna Way of Life" stickers on the flank panels
"Being Human" sticker on the front panel
Pearl Mirage White colour

The Access 125 retains its 124 cc four stroke engine that outputs 8.58 Bhp-9.8 Nm. The engine is mated to a CVT automatic transmission that drives the rear wheel of the scooter. Telescopic front forks and a single rear shock absorber make for the suspension components. In the braking department, both wheels get 120 mm drum brakes with the front disc brake not available even as an optional accessory.

The Access 125 is the best selling scooter in Suzuki's line up and the Japanese two wheeler maker plans to sell 40,000 units of the special edition model. A part of the money Suzuki realizes by selling the special edition version of the scooter will be used to fund Being Human foundation's charitable activities such as educating underprivileged children, and sponsoring cataract operations and heart surgeries for the infirm.

Looks like "Special Edition" variants are going to flood our market during this festival season. As usual like all other recent special edition models, very difficult to convince myself what is the need of such a variant. It is good that they did not label it as "Being Salman" edition..

IMHO - for a couple of stickers around in my scooter, a chrome-coating in a couple of places which doesn't make anything different and a seat-cover which looks totally out-of-place, would I be paying 1000/- rupees extra ? No.

Why can't the special editions have something meaningful other than just stickers/decals around and not-at-all important goodies?

And such special editions are mostly from the Suzuki (Maruti Suzuki) stable - Alto 'Muzic', Estilo 'Sport', WagonR 'God-knows-what', Omni 'Even-God-forgot' and now Access 'Being Human'. I am pretty sure I would have missed a few things out here.
