Suzuki Burgman Street vs Piaggio Vespa Comparison

The 2026 Suzuki Burgman Street is a more refined maxi-scooter than earlier. The looks, mechanical updates, a stiffer chassis, larger 12-inch rear wheel, keyless ignition, and a sharp TFT screen improve the overall experience by a fair margin.

Preetam Bora correctly pointed out in his review, “If you're an urban commuter who values style and features over pure sportiness, the new Burgman Street 125 is the scooter for you.”

However, missing out on ABS remains a clear oversight by Suzuki, especially when its Access 125 does. Nevertheless, if you want a comfortable, decently equipped, robust and reasonably frugal 125 cc scooter with that all-out maxi look, the Burgman is a safe choice.

The Piaggio Vespa is a fun scooter, with a likeable old-school design that has been around for almost five decades. It offers decent performance, has a stiff ride quality. It handles well too but is now getting a little long in the tooth, with Piaggio not having made any recent and significant updates in the last few years. Despite decent dynamics, the brakes lack bite, and the scooter is on the expensive side, even for 150 cc scooter models.
