| Cons | The suspension can feel a bit firm, transmitting bumps from rough roads more noticeably. Fuel tank capacity and mileage are modest, which may limit long-distance rides without refueling. Service network and spare-part availability may be limited in smaller towns or rural areas. The price is higher than many other 125 cc scooters, which may not feel justified for all buyers. Ride comfort with a pillion or on uneven roads can feel less plush compared to softer-suspension scooters. | Modest engine power — lacks punch for high-speed highway riding or aggressive overtakes. Rear drum brake and basic braking setup may feel less confident under heavy load or at higher speeds. Suspension and small wheels may struggle on rough roads or bad patches, reducing comfort on uneven surfaces. Fuel tank capacity and storage space are limited — not ideal for long-distance travel or heavy luggage. Not designed for performance or sporty handling — may feel underwhelming to someone used to bigger bikes or scooters. Comfort and stability may drop when carrying a pillion or heavy load, especially on uneven terrain or longer rides. |
| Detailed Overview | Riding the SXR 125 feels like getting the practicality of a scooter with a bit of Italian flair and some thoughtful engineering under the sheet metal. Its heart is a 124.45 cc, single‑cylinder, 4‑stroke, SOHC engine — simple, air‑cooled and fuel‑injected — which gives a modest but reliable amount of power. On paper it makes around 9.6 PS at about 7,500 rpm and about 10.2 Nm of torque at around 5,400 rpm. In everyday traffic and city commutes, that translates into smooth, manageable acceleration: not a rocket, but enough to merge confidently into traffic, overtake slower vehicles, or cruise through busy streets without feeling underpowered. The automatic CVT transmission with belt drive and dry centrifugal clutch adds to that convenience — you don’t worry about shifting gears, you just twist the throttle and the scooter takes care of the rest, which makes daily stop‑and‑go riding effortless. What stands out is how the scooter balances its compact design with comfort and practicality. The frame is a tubular single‑cradle chassis, with a hydraulic double‑telescopic fork up front and a hydraulic shock absorber at the rear. Coupled with 12‑inch alloy wheels wrapped in 120/70‑12 tubeless tyres front and rear, the suspension‑tyre set‑up gives the SXR 125 a stable and planted feel for a 125 cc scooter. On good roads it rides with composure — not floaty, but controlled and predictable. On rough patches, broken tarmac or potholes, the ride can feel a bit firm, but that firmness also helps the scooter stay stable under load or when cornering. It’s a practical compromise between comfort and handling. When it comes to braking and safety, Aprilia opted for a 220 mm front disc brake and a 140 mm rear drum brake, linked by a Combi Braking System (CBS). That front disc gives reassuring bite, and the CBS helps distribute braking force to ensure stability when you need to stop quickly — useful in chaotic city traffic or when a pedestrian or vehicle suddenly crosses your path. While it doesn’t offer dual‑disc or ABS, the braking setup is decent for the scooter’s performance envelope and gives enough confidence for everyday use. Dimensionally, the SXR 125 strikes a balance between being compact enough for narrow lanes and roomy enough for comfortable rides. The length is about 1,963 mm, width about 803 mm and height about 1,205 mm, with a wheelbase of 1,361 mm. Seat height sits around 775–780 mm, which tends to be manageable for most riders, making it easy to flat‑foot at signals or in traffic. The kerb weight is roughly 128–129 kg — light enough for easy manoeuvring in tight traffic or parking spots, but with enough heft to feel stable at moderate speeds or when carrying a pillion. Fuel tank capacity is 7 litres (with a small reserve), which might sound small, but given the scooter’s modest engine and claimed fuel efficiency of about 40 km/l (actual mileage depends on riding style and traffic), a full tank still gives you a decent city‑range before needing a refill — handy for daily commuting or short errands. Aprilia has entrusted the SXR 125 with a set of practical yet modern features that make ownership smoother. The instrument console is fully digital, showing speed, fuel level, trip‑meter/odometer, and low‑fuel warning. There’s a USB charging port for devices — thoughtful if you rely on your phone for navigation or music — and other useful touches like a passenger footrest, grab‑rail and under‑seat storage that can fit daily‑use items. Lighting is all LED (headlight, tail / indicators), improving visibility during night rides and giving the scooter a more premium appearance. Starting is via both electric self‑start and kick‑start, which adds flexibility and reliability, especially in city conditions or if the battery is low. In real riding conditions, the SXR 125 feels like a practical, everyday machine that doesn’t ask for much from the rider. It’s easy to live with — easy to ride, easy to park, and easy to maintain. For a rider doing daily commuting, office runs, college rides or city errands, it covers the essentials: smooth engine, manageable power, stable handling, reliable brakes, decent fuel economy, and comfort. What you lose in high-speed grunt or heavy-duty touring capability, you gain in convenience, simplicity, and urban friendliness. If you’re someone riding through congested roads, tight parking spots, mixed-quality streets — perhaps overlapping with the kind of roads and traffic you’d find in many Indian cities — the SXR 125 feels well-suited. It doesn’t pretend to be a sports bike, but it offers a balanced package: easy to ride, practical to use, and dependable enough for daily use, with a bit of European styling and feature-level polish to make it stand out in the scooter crowd. | When you sit on the Burgman Street, it immediately feels more like a comfortable commuter scooter with a bit of extra thought behind it — not a performance bike, but something built for daily life with some flair and convenience. Its engine is a modest 124 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled unit with fuel injection and a simple SOHC, 2-valve head. For everyday use — city rides, errands, short commutes — this works very well: the scooter doesn’t demand revving or aggressive throttle use, but gives smooth, manageable power that’s easy to control. That translates to around 8.7 PS of power when the engine hits roughly 6,750 rpm, and a torque output of 10 Nm around 5,500 rpm. What you feel on the road is gentle acceleration — enough to get through traffic, overtake slower vehicles, or cruise casually on suburban roads, but nothing wild or “fast bike” level. The automatic CVT transmission means no gear shifting, no clutch — just twist and go. That simplicity is a blessing in everyday traffic or frequent stop-and-go situations, especially for someone who prefers fuss-free commuting. Because the engine is fuel-injected and not over-stressed, it tends to be predictable: no jerks, no sudden surges, just smooth power when you need it. That reliability and ease make it good for a daily rider — someone who wants convenience and comfort over raw performance. Physically, the Burgman Street leans toward a stable and manageable feel. It’s about 1,880 mm long, 715 mm wide and 1,140 mm tall, with a wheelbase of 1,265 mm. The seat sits at around 780 mm height — a comfortable middle ground for many riders — and the kerb weight comes in at roughly 110 kg. What that means on real roads: the scooter feels solid and stable, but still light enough to handle in city traffic, parking, or narrow lanes. The 160 mm ground clearance gives a little buffer over uneven roads, potholes or speed breakers — useful on typical urban and semi-urban streets. The suspension setup is simple but sensible: telescopic front fork and a swing-arm rear. It won’t feel like a plush touring bike, but for daily rides over city roads or occasional rough patches, it does a decent job of absorbing bumps without making the ride harsh. The wheels are alloy, with tubeless tyres sized 90/90-12 at the front and 90/100-10 at the rear, which offer decent grip and stability without making the ride feel clingy or skittish. Braking is basic but adequate: a disc brake up front and a drum brake at the rear. For city speeds and everyday riding, it gives enough stopping confidence — nothing dramatic, but enough for typical traffic or moderate-speed rides. For someone who rides sensibly and doesn’t push for racing-bike stops, it’s more than fine. Where the Burgman Street shines beyond the usual scooter — and why it stands out for many buyers — is its thoughtful features and convenience touches. The Bluetooth-enabled digital console (on the Ride-Connect / higher variants) brings features rarely seen in this segment: turn-by-turn navigation when paired with your phone, missed-call / call / SMS / WhatsApp alerts, over-speed warning, ETA updates, phone battery level display, and more. For daily urban commuting, this kind of tech adds real value: you get smart connectivity without needing extra gadgets stuck to your handlebar. LED headlight and rear lamp raise visibility at night and give a more premium feel compared to old-school scooters. There’s a large under-seat storage (enough for a helmet or a small bag), a front glove-box or pocket, and handy hooks — small but practical touches for errands, groceries or daily commuting. A USB/DC socket (in Ride-Connect version) lets you charge your phone on the go — a surprisingly useful feature if you rely on navigation or calls. In real ownership terms, the Burgman Street doesn’t demand much from you. It’s easy to start whether kick or electric, easy to manoeuvre in traffic, reasonably light and upright enough to give confidence even to riders who aren’t super experienced. Fuel tank capacity is about 5.5 litres — not huge, but adequate for city riding, short suburban runs or occasional commuting without frequent stops. That said, this convenience-oriented, everyday-commuter-style scooter comes with trade-offs. Because the engine is small and tuned for economy rather than performance, you won’t get exciting acceleration, high-speed overtakes, or strong highway comfort. If you try pushing it on highways or long-distance runs, the limited power and basic suspension will quickly show their limits — you won’t get the stability, comfort, or reserve that a higher-capacity bike or touring scooter offers. The rear drum brake, while fine for city speeds, might feel a bit soft if you try aggressive stops or ride carrying pillion. The tyre sizes and wheel setup — while great for manoeuvring and daily rideability — are modest, so cornering or stability at high speed is fairly basic. Under heavy load or two-up riding, the ride may feel a little strained. In the end, riding the Burgman Street feels like owning a sensible, well-balanced city companion rather than a performance machine. It’s the kind of scooter that doesn’t demand respect but gives you ease, comfort, a few modern touches, and peace of mind. For someone who rides daily in traffic, does errands, occasional commutes — especially in towns or cities — it offers a smart blend of practicality and convenience. If you want speed, highway touring, or sporty performance, you’d be better served by a more powerful machine. But for everyday life — rides to work, college, grocery trips, short outings — the Burgman Street is a quietly capable, no-fuss partner. |
