Suzuki Access 125 review

At first glance, the Access 125 appears the very picture of civility. It’s not trying to start a revolution, nor does it want to be the life of the party. No, it’s the one in the corner—refined, understated, a quiet observer in a room full of showboats. The 2025 model introduces sharper lines and a more contemporary finish, but it doesn’t scream for attention. Instead, it nods approvingly from across the room, letting you know it’s there if you need it.

The color options range from the elegantly subdued (Pearl Grace White) to the slightly audacious (Solid Ice Green), much like choosing between a tailored navy-blue suit and a velvet dinner jacket. There’s LED lighting all around, and the build quality has a reassuring solidity that tells you it’s prepared for the pothole-riddled battlefields of the urban jungle.

Powering this modestly menacing machine is a 124cc single-cylinder engine, purring like a well-fed cat with just enough growl to remind you it’s not to be underestimated. Producing 8.3 bhp at 6,500 rpm and 10.2 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm, it won’t snap your neck with acceleration, but it will glide through traffic with an effortless confidence that lesser machines can only dream of.

The refined suspension setup—telescopic forks at the front soaks up bumps with all the composure of a man who’s seen it all before. The ride quality? Plush. The handling? Predictable in the best possible way. This is a machine that doesn’t waste time on theatrics; it simply gets the job done, every single time.

Ah, technology—so often the Achilles’ heel of vehicles that try too hard to impress. But the Access 125 walks the tightrope masterfully. The Ride Connect Edition, in particular, brings Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and call alerts, ensuring you never miss a critical message—whether it’s from an old friend or an adversary plotting your demise.

The external fuel filler cap is a welcome touch, sparing you the indignity of fumbling around under the seat at a fuel station while an impatient queue forms behind you. There’s also an expanded under-seat storage area—ample space for your secrets, or at the very least, a full-face helmet and a few assorted trinkets.

Disc brakes at the front for the higher variants, drum brakes elsewhere—nothing extravagant, just enough to ensure you don’t find yourself explaining to a traffic cop why you ended up on the sidewalk. The combined braking system (CBS) is a welcome addition, adding an extra layer of confidence to the already smooth handling.

The Suzuki Access 125 is not for the reckless speed demon, nor for those who measure success in top speeds and aggressive lean angles. No, this is for the individual who appreciates subtlety, who values reliability, and who understands that true power lies not in how loudly you announce yourself, but in how effortlessly you navigate the world.

Would I recommend it? Wholeheartedly. Whether you’re slipping through the morning traffic like a shadow or making a quiet but significant entrance at a soirée, the Access 125 has your back. It’s not just a scooter; it’s an accomplice in your daily adventures. And trust me, every great story starts with the right accomplice.
