Burgman Street, Avenis and Address, the three 125cc Suzuki urban musketeers

The return of Suzuki to this segment, the one with the most sales in our country due to the approval of the car license to drive them, revolves around a next-generation engine named SEP, Suzuki Eco Performance, in its Alpha version. It is a light and compact single-cylinder four-stroke air-cooled that delivers, tenth above, tenth below, around 8.6CV in the environment of 6,500 laps and a maximum torque of 10Nm at 5,500 rpm. Its consumption, thanks among other things to the fact that it has a smooth and silent Start system

The three models improve in acceleration compared to the 'old' Burgman 125 and the Address 110, gaining almost 14.5 meters in the 200 meters covered. They all have similar cornering due to their very similar wheelbase and the fact that they share the same chassis, which is brand new, with tubes of considerable diameter to gain resistance.

This reissue of the brand's classic is the one with the longest wheelbase of the three models (1,905mm), it is, let's say, an elegant miniGT that stands out for that dual position of the feet where driving is very relaxed in the furthest one. With a USB in the left glove box and the particularity of not having the handlebar fixed to the fairing like its brothers, a full-face helmet fits under the seat with a capacity of just over 21 liters, a figure similar to that of its companions. It comes in three colours: a sober grey, a suggestive matt black and this elegant pearlescent white. In all three cases, its price is 3,099 euros.

It is for its part the most sporty and modern cut. With a flat floor like its other rangemates, it shares a digital instrumentation panel that indicates with a green indicator if it is driving efficiently. The driving position is the most active of the three models and the curiosity of having the fuel nozzle in the back, something that it shares with the Address, frees the user from having to open the seat when refueling. Its price of 2,959 euros places it among the three with the option of pearl white and gray and this gray and metallic green as color options. As an added curiosity, it is the only one that has a parking brake, located on the left handle.

For those who have the previous Address 110 on their retina, forget it. The cheapest of the three (2,899 euros and which comes in pearly white, a curious greenish blue and this beautiful burgundy red), is completely remodeled and now drinks from the Italian style of the most classic scooters, yes, with great optics rear brand of the house and, although it costs a kickstarter in case the battery fails, something that the other two also have. With the most neutral position of the trio, its seat is somewhat lower, which, added to having the headlight somewhat higher than the level of the handlebars, makes it appear to be more of a motorcycle at the controls, a feeling that is also manifested in the fact that the fender is metallic. . His dashboard is mixed, with a large analog speedometer and, unlike his family mates, the efficient driving indicator is two lines that hug him changing from blue to an ecological green.

They share many other things like the 12-inch and 10-inch wheels or the front disc brake and the rear drum, but each one offers a markedly different style.

Among the three models, I would definitely prefer the latter, the Address, for its undeniable charm. matter of taste
