Effortless and pleasant it is for everybody
6 years ago
Vikram Singh Nirwan
Model: suzuki access 125, special edition, matte black, disc and cbs. The following review is based on our family ownership of five months of access 125 (4500 kms) and the tradition of owning scooters since their inception.The buying experience was very easy because we bought it unfinanced, the fall guard accessories came with the package itself and the staff was very supportive. Therefore, before jumping right into the pros and cons of the access 125 let me tell you how it feels to ride it. As you sling forward your legs around the foot board and rest yourself on its tan coloured, plush and wide faux leather (extremely good quality) seat, you feel the good build and finish right away, you get an inkling that the time duration of your commute is going to be pleasant and effortless. This is how i would like to describe this scooter, it is pleasant and effortless.Let us begin with its looks/styling: we have the scooter in matte black colour, the colour and the plastics seem of good quality. It has a quite neutral look; the matte colour makes it look modern, at the same time the chrome bezel around the headlamp and wide trapezoidal rear-view mirrors (also chrome) give it a retro-ish look. Neutral being the keyword, it is not different when looking from the front or the back, but the side profile is where it shines, the curves and the silver badging are tell-tale signs of its good looks. It is not an all-out retro scooter like the tvs jupiter classic but not a sporty one too like the tvs ntorq; the looks are as neutral, something like a honda activa but it definitely comes with a character. So it is indeed for everybody, the students, the parents, the elders; access 125 se is a great example of spot-on styling which is neutral yet attractive.Performance & fuel efficiency: linear and purposeful; the engine is smooth, it is teflon smooth, i used to be a honda fan and used to sing about its refinement and quality but this 125cc plant has got me good. It manages to generate 8.7 ps of power at 7000 rpm with a decent 10.2 n-m of torque. The low and the mid-range are excellent; which is enough to zip around the city for running errands and commutes. The initial torque is great for quick move-ons i.E. 0-40 kmh, it eagerly lunges into motion with a little twist of the throttle. The mid-range is rather linear because it takes its time to accelerate to the speeds of 60-70 kmh, which is not as laggy but is certainly not as quick as the low range. It means that overtakes are possible but with some care. The access 125 se is definitely not a highway runner because it does not provide the rider with enough confidence at higher speeds, the top speed can be easily stretched till an indicated 100 kmh but it is not its home turf, highways have never been a natural habitat for scooters anyways. Vibrations however are excellently well contained throughout the power band which is a huge plus. Overall, the performance of the access 125 se is more than adequate; a nimble low end, linear mid-range and an alright high-end. The 125cc engine is a fuel sipper; suzuki claims 64 km/l but one can easily expect 50 km/l with careful usage and 45 km/l with mixed usage in the street as well as on highways. The 5.6 litre fuel tank provides a decent range for long runs. Handling, breaking and, ride quality: the access 125 is an absolute gem at handling, its 102 kg weight makes it a very light handler at extremely slow speeds; and at medium-high speeds too it is effortlessly manoeuvrable. Taking tight turns or u-turns have never been a problem due to its short turning radius. Breaking too is confident on the access 125, with 120mm disc at the front and 120mm drum at the back with cbs that provides excellent stopping power and safety. However, the 12 inch front and 10 inch rear tubeless tyres have an acceptable amount of grip but such good brakes could use a pair of grippier tyres because the rear tyre tends to lock up at times. Ride quality is an area which i can claim to be the best in class; the telescopic front and the rear swing arm effortlessly soak up bumps and potholes that are littered across our indian roads, as if the rider’s body never has to lose contact with the seat. The 160mm ground clearance is deceivingly tall that does not let the lower body scrape on speed bumps even when it’s loaded with a substantial amount of weight.Features and ergonomics: the access 125 se is not particularly a feature rich scooter, the headlamp, tail light, and indicators are all halogens and not leds. Despite the lack of leds, throw from the headlamp is very good. It comes with aho that eliminates the light on/off switch and the addition of a kill switch would have been appreciated. The horn too is adequately loud without being annoying; the scooter gets a 12v dc port for mobile charging with a pocket located in the front dash. It does not have an external fuel lid but accessing the under seat lid is easy because it can be twist opened from the main keyhole. The trapezoidal chrome rear view mirrors are extremely useful because of their width; a full panoramic view of the road behind you is available at just a glance. There is no side stand indicator or an under seat storage light, however, the storage space of 21.8 l is at par with the competition with similar shape but the seat hinge at the front does not feel as sturdy as it should have. The instrument cluster houses an analogue speedometer and a small digital display with read outs such as odometer, trip a and b, oil change indicator and a fuel meter. Ergonomics is also an area where this scooter shines, the seat at 780mm is neither low nor high, and the rider sits upright on a plush wide seat with hands on slightly high set handlebars, even the tallest person will not have their knees knocking the handlebars.Cons/ slight inconveniences:1.The engine exhaust note is not very pleasing; the engine even when not stressed makes quite a deal of noise and that is also the reason which makes a rider uncomfortable at higher speeds.2. The rear wheel tends to lock up at times when only the rear brake is applied; it should not because it has cbs that should avoid locking up to an extent.3. The matte black paint gets dirty very easily because of its rough surface, needs frequent cleaining.4. The under seat hinge feels very flimsy. Foot pegs for the pillion rider are very short. 5. The headlamps could have been all leds; drls are missing.6. The digital instrument cluster could be way better and larger with bigger font.Conclusion: the suzuki access 125 se is as i said is effortless to use, it is great for running errands and for relaxing evening rides with your significant other. It is versatile, reliable, powerful, and again, effortless to use. It is one scooter that does everything and looks good while doing that. If you feel bored from your old honda activa and are looking for a classy upgrade, this is it, certainly it does not have the edgy looks of honda grazia or the performance and features of tvs ntorq but this scooter nails the basics so good that it fares better than its rivals; because features can get old, looks may not remain that edgy after some years but the class will remain, the refined, fuel efficient engine will remain, the great ride quality will remain.

Think before you buy this. I would rather take a bus.

Akshay
I bought access in the year 2013, the initial experience was good until it starts giving engine compression problem. The vehicle used to just turn off in the middle of the road without any warning. I pretty much pushed it more than driving. Replaced the engine cylinder and piston for around 10000 rs, but even after that it still gave me problems. So if you are thinking about buying, please ask existing owners. Do not just blindly believe the dealers. Hope this helps.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: A Candid Review of the famous Suzuki Access 125.
1 year ago
Iam Legend
Pros:1. Good Front space for carrying things. You can fit maximum 1 domestic lpg cylinder side ways.2. Comfortable Seating3. Good mileage. I travel avg 120 kms per week. So I always keep rs 300 or sometimes rs 200 for fuel per week.Cons:1. Braking takes too long. You can't ride very fast2. I don't know why but the tyres always slips especially on water. You can't just bend around, you have to ride like a grandpa.3. Fuel injection problem after 6000 kms. My local mechanic helped solve this by taking out the FI choke light connected to the start spring. I don't know how to explain this better but you will get my point if you own one.4. For the average Indian, the parts are expensive plus the original parts don't last long. So I just buy the duplicate versions which are cheap but very good for me. For example, price of Disc pads is approx. Rs. 1200 inclusive GST while in local shop it is Rs. 220 (with bargaining) but very good quality. If you know where to get your parts, it is well and good.5. Service centres will try to milk you for every little bit of money they can get while doing free servicing. They will try to change air filters, disc pads, start plug etc., when not needed. Be vigilant and don't allow such things.

Poor performance of self starting unit
3 years ago
Nidhin Pj
I have been using suzuki access 125 since 2020.Within the first one and half year it's self starting has damaged . It's too difficult to do the cold starting, the starting motor or self starter unit is not worthy for the amount we paid for the vehicle. I'm disappointed in the poor performance of self starter unit.

The main factor is average is very less and what do u expect from a scooter while driving in the city where due to on road traffic the fuel usage is more and it is very less compared to the old access though the looks are very dope but for a average city rider what matters is average so i think it does have a problem only with the average

Neutral being the keyword, it is not different when looking from the front or the back, but the side profile is where it shines, the curves and the silver badging are tell-tale signs of its good looks. It is not an all-out retro scooter like the tvs jupiter classic but not a sporty one too like the tvs ntorq; the looks are as neutral, something like a honda activa but it definitely comes with a character. So it is indeed for everybody, the students, the parents, the elders; access 125 se is a great example of spot-on styling which is neutral yet attractive.Performance & fuel efficiency: linear and purposeful; the engine is smooth, it is teflon smooth, i used to be a honda fan and used to sing about its refinement and quality but this 125cc plant has got me good. It manages to generate 8.7 ps of power at 7000 rpm with a decent 10.2 n-m of torque. The low and the mid-range are excellent; which is enough to zip around the city for running errands and commutes. The initial torque is great for quick move-ons i.E. 0-40 kmh, it eagerly lunges into motion with a little twist of the throttle. The mid-range is rather linear because it takes its time to accelerate to the speeds of 60-70 kmh, which is not as laggy but is certainly not as quick as the low range. It means that overtakes are possible but with some care. The access 125 se is definitely not a highway runner because it does not provide the rider with enough confidence at higher speeds, the top speed can be easily stretched till an indicated 100 kmh but it is not its home turf, highways have never been a natural habitat for scooters anyways. Vibrations however are excellently well contained throughout the power band which is a huge plus. Overall, the performance of the access 125 se is more than adequate; a nimble low end, linear mid-range and an alright high-end. The 125cc engine is a fuel sipper; suzuki claims 64 km/l but one can easily expect 50 km/l with careful usage and 45 km/l with mixed usage in the street as well as on highways. The 5.6 litre fuel tank provides a decent range for long runs. Handling, breaking and, ride quality: the access 125 is an absolute gem at handling, its 102 kg weight makes it a very light handler at extremely slow speeds; and at medium-high speeds too it is effortlessly manoeuvrable. Taking tight turns or u-turns have never been a problem due to its short turning radius. Breaking too is confident on the access 125, with 120mm disc at the front and 120mm drum at the back with cbs that provides excellent stopping power and safety. However, the 12 inch front and 10 inch rear tubeless tyres have an acceptable amount of grip but such good brakes could use a pair of grippier tyres because the rear tyre tends to lock up at times. Ride quality is an area which i can claim to be the best in class; the telescopic front and the rear swing arm effortlessly soak up bumps and potholes that are littered across our indian roads, as if the rider’s body never has to lose contact with the seat. The 160mm ground clearance is deceivingly tall that does not let the lower body scrape on speed bumps even when it’s loaded with a substantial amount of weight.Features and ergonomics: the access 125 se is not particularly a feature rich scooter, the headlamp, tail light, and indicators are all halogens and not leds. Despite the lack of leds, throw from the headlamp is very good. It comes with aho that eliminates the light on/off switch and the addition of a kill switch would have been appreciated. The horn too is adequately loud without being annoying; the scooter gets a 12v dc port for mobile charging with a pocket located in the front dash. It does not have an external fuel lid but accessing the under seat lid is easy because it can be twist opened from the main keyhole. The trapezoidal chrome rear view mirrors are extremely useful because of their width; a full panoramic view of the road behind you is available at just a glance. There is no side stand indicator or an under seat storage light, however, the storage space of 21.8 l is at par with the competition with similar shape but the seat hinge at the front does not feel as sturdy as it should have. The instrument cluster houses an analogue speedometer and a small digital display with read outs such as odometer, trip a and b, oil change indicator and a fuel meter. Ergonomics is also an area where this scooter shines, the seat at 780mm is neither low nor high, and the rider sits upright on a plush wide seat with hands on slightly high set handlebars, even the tallest person will not have their knees knocking the handlebars.Cons/ slight inconveniences:1.The engine exhaust note is not very pleasing; the engine even when not stressed makes quite a deal of noise and that is also the reason which makes a rider uncomfortable at higher speeds.2. The rear wheel tends to lock up at times when only the rear brake is applied; it should not because it has cbs that should avoid locking up to an extent.3. The matte black paint gets dirty very easily because of its rough surface, needs frequent cleaining.4. The under seat hinge feels very flimsy. Foot pegs for the pillion rider are very short. 5. The headlamps could have been all leds; drls are missing.6. The digital instrument cluster could be way better and larger with bigger font.Conclusion: the suzuki access 125 se is as i said is effortless to use, it is great for running errands and for relaxing evening rides with your significant other. It is versatile, reliable, powerful, and again, effortless to use. It is one scooter that does everything and looks good while doing that. If you feel bored from your old honda activa and are looking for a classy upgrade, this is it, certainly it does not have the edgy looks of honda grazia or the performance and features of tvs ntorq but this scooter nails the basics so good that it fares better than its rivals; because features can get old, looks may not remain that edgy after some years but the class will remain, the refined, fuel efficient engine will remain, the great ride quality will remain.

I bought access in the year 2013, the initial experience was good until it starts giving engine compression problem. The vehicle used to just turn off in the middle of the road without any warning. I pretty much pushed it more than driving. Replaced the engine cylinder and piston for around 10000 rs, but even after that it still gave me problems. So if you are thinking about buying, please ask existing owners. Do not just blindly believe the dealers. Hope this helps.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: A Candid Review of the famous Suzuki Access 125.
1 year ago
Iam Legend
Pros:1. Good Front space for carrying things. You can fit maximum 1 domestic lpg cylinder side ways.2. Comfortable Seating3. Good mileage. I travel avg 120 kms per week. So I always keep rs 300 or sometimes rs 200 for fuel per week.Cons:1. Braking takes too long. You can't ride very fast2. I don't know why but the tyres always slips especially on water. You can't just bend around, you have to ride like a grandpa.3. Fuel injection problem after 6000 kms. My local mechanic helped solve this by taking out the FI choke light connected to the start spring. I don't know how to explain this better but you will get my point if you own one.4. For the average Indian, the parts are expensive plus the original parts don't last long. So I just buy the duplicate versions which are cheap but very good for me. For example, price of Disc pads is approx. Rs. 1200 inclusive GST while in local shop it is Rs. 220 (with bargaining) but very good quality. If you know where to get your parts, it is well and good.5. Service centres will try to milk you for every little bit of money they can get while doing free servicing. They will try to change air filters, disc pads, start plug etc., when not needed. Be vigilant and don't allow such things.

Poor performance of self starting unit
3 years ago
Nidhin Pj
I have been using suzuki access 125 since 2020.Within the first one and half year it's self starting has damaged . It's too difficult to do the cold starting, the starting motor or self starter unit is not worthy for the amount we paid for the vehicle. I'm disappointed in the poor performance of self starter unit.

The main factor is average is very less and what do u expect from a scooter while driving in the city where due to on road traffic the fuel usage is more and it is very less compared to the old access though the looks are very dope but for a average city rider what matters is average so i think it does have a problem only with the average

Effortless and pleasant it is for everybody
6 years ago
Vikram Singh Nirwan
Model: suzuki access 125, special edition, matte black, disc and cbs. The following review is based on our family ownership of five months of access 125 (4500 kms) and the tradition of owning scooters since their inception.The buying experience was very easy because we bought it unfinanced, the fall guard accessories came with the package itself and the staff was very supportive. Therefore, before jumping right into the pros and cons of the access 125 let me tell you how it feels to ride it. As you sling forward your legs around the foot board and rest yourself on its tan coloured, plush and wide faux leather (extremely good quality) seat, you feel the good build and finish right away, you get an inkling that the time duration of your commute is going to be pleasant and effortless. This is how i would like to describe this scooter, it is pleasant and effortless.Let us begin with its looks/styling: we have the scooter in matte black colour, the colour and the plastics seem of good quality. It has a quite neutral look; the matte colour makes it look modern, at the same time the chrome bezel around the headlamp and wide trapezoidal rear-view mirrors (also chrome) give it a retro-ish look. Neutral being the keyword, it is not different when looking from the front or the back, but the side profile is where it shines, the curves and the silver badging are tell-tale signs of its good looks. It is not an all-out retro scooter like the tvs jupiter classic but not a sporty one too like the tvs ntorq; the looks are as neutral, something like a honda activa but it definitely comes with a character.
