Suzuki Burgman Street maxi-scooter spied

Suzuki is gearing up to debut its Burgman maxi-scooter brand in India. Spy images of the Burgman Street have surfaced online and reports suggest that it could be launched at the 2018 Auto Expo.

The spy images suggest that the new scooter will get a large front cowl and a windshield. The headlamp is likely to be positioned on the fairing. There appears to be a small cubbyhole placed just under the ignition. The seat appears to be wide and has a rear grab handle. The tail lamp sits flush with the rear bodywork and features arrow-shaped turn signals. The rear mudguard has the Suzuki logo while the exhaust muffler has a dual-tone heat shield. 

The second image clearly reveals the 'Burgman Street' badge placed on the side panel. The scooter is likely to get a digital instrument panel and a 12V charging socket. It could be offered with telescopic front forks and a front disc brake.

Suzuki's Burgman line-up comprises of scooters with a wide range of engine capacities including 125 cc, 200 cc and 250 cc. Suzuki also offers higher variants of the scooter with 400 cc and 600 cc engines. In India, we are likely to get the 125 cc variant which could be offered with the 124 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine from the Access 125 which makes 8.5 BHP @ 7,000 rpm and 10.2 Nm of torque @ 5,000 rpm.
