These are the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX's subtle shades

Since its introduction to the local market, the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX has become quite a strong contender in the low-displacement scooter segment. 

The aforementioned may be attributed to its array of desirable qualities. For one thing, it uses a relatively peppy 124-cubic centimeter single-cylinder engine capable of producing up to 8.5 horsepower and 10.2 Newton-meters of torque. 

Plus, the Suzuki model wears an attractively styled body, which was kitted out with ample features. Its array of useful amenities includes a one-push central locking system, a generously spacious underseat compartment, utility hoods, a body-mounted windscreen, a safety switch side stand, disc brakes, LED lighting, tubeless tires, and a comfortable seat for two. 

Plus, prospective buyers of the Suzuki-made scoot can get all of the aforementioned at a very accessible price of P92,400. 

The Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX, however, has three distinct color options to choose from. So, the question now is: how do these colors affect the look of the Suzuki-made motorcycle? Let’s find out here. 

Metallic Royal Bronze

First off is Metallic Royal Bronze, which is arguably in the middle of the spectrum when it comes to the lightest and darkest color options for the Burgman Street 125 EX. 

Per its name, it provides a two-tone look for the scoot, with a majority of the bike’s fairings colored in a brownish hue contrasting with the model’s silver trimmings and its mostly black muffler. 

Overall, it provides an earthy vibe to the ride. It likewise enhances the deep-cut lines on its fairings. The said color isn’t exactly a neutral feeling, but the “executive” look Suzuki was going for in terms of the Burgman Street 125 EX is further enhanced by this natural-looking hue. 

Metallic Matte Black

The darkest color option for the Burgman Street 125 EX is Metallic Matte Black. Per its name, it covers most of the scooter’s body with black, but a fair bit of brown is retained on the seat, the handlebar assembly, and the interior of the model’s footwells. 

The type of black this color option uses provides a good contrast to the silver bits spread around the bike. Additionally, many on-lookers of the said hue may describe it as elegant and sophisticated. 

Black, as expert detailers know, however, can be hard to maintain. Keeping it full of luster will require more elbow grease than usual since black will help make scratches and paint imperfections more visible. Water streaks are likewise more apparent in darker colors. 

Metallic Matte Platinum Silver

The lightest color option available to the Burgman Street 125 EX is Metallic Matte Platinum Silver. It provides the bike with an airy but elegant feel, but the downside is it somewhat hides the angular details spread around the motorcycle’s body. 

 To note, the said color is far from flat white, but it might also make the two-wheeler more visible in poorly lit driving situations. 

Final thoughts

Overall, the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX has been given by the Japanese motorcycle marque with understated, toned-down color options. Most certainly, they are quieter looking compared to the options available to the likes of the Smash Fi and the Raider J, but it only serves to hone in on the suave and refined design of the said scooter. 

However, prospective buyers of the Burgman Street 125 EX should visit the nearest Suzuki motorcycle dealership and see the said color options in person first. Staring at pictures online is a good start, but getting up close and personal with the motorcycle you want may provide a better perspective for those seriously considering buying the model.
