Q. Hi, Is Suzuki access 125 reliable & durable for long term purposes compared to its rival Activa? I have heard Suzuki service is not upto the mark, is it true?

Yes, Suzuki service has been a hit or miss. In comparison, Honda, even though they are also not providing exceptional service, they do have more options, where a person can go easily for service if they are not satisfied by a dealer. In terms of long term reliability, Honda Activa has been around for more than a decade and has proved itself. However, the Access is a new entrant, and though it has been going strong, I think Activa holds up better over the years.

No, in terms of refinement, I feel the Activa 110 and 125 are more refined. Though the sounds from the engines maybe due to poor maintenance, as I know a few friends who have been using the Access for quite some time and it runs smooth. One of them which had issues was very poorly maintained. However, in terms of a trouble free experience, I think the Activa does give a better trouble free usage.

Thank you for answering, Is Suzuki access 125 engine refinement on par with Honda two wheelers?. I have heard that after few years it starts to make loud noises from the engine or is it just based on how the person maintain the scooter over the years ?
