I will not recommend this burgman street 125 to any one. Its performance is ver bad, no pickup, When ever i apply brakes it skids and we lose balance, its road grip is very bad, shock absorber are pathetic. Today i fell on the main road when i applied brakes almost escaped from big accident. Very bad experience when the roads are bumpy, because shock absorber are very bad. Mileage is very bad. The bottom of the vehicle almost touches the humps and we can hear the scratch noise

Ive been using it from 3 years i purchased it in sep 2018 , i have never felt any issue , even the mileage is very good uptill now as calculated uptill now im getting 45-50 kms , when i ride hard i get the mileage of 35-40 kms , only i faced some problems is that silencer bolt and its rubber gets losse very frequently in every 6-7 months and the silencer cap is very easy to damage if someone hits from back ive changed it 2-3 times and company doesnt keep it in stock so its very embarrasing to drive it if damaged or broken. If any one will keep it proper serviced like changing enging and gear oil every 3 months, changing new oil filters every 3 months your vehicle will be maintained and willl give power and proper mileage as expected.

Been riding from 2 years never felt an issue with body balance. It's a gem if a bike to ride i ride at 80s 90s and never felt it to be imbalanced. Bike never looses balance when hard braked not even the rear tyre locks hard. It's all about your technique of driving.

Kaushik Mandal · Answer

Although the clearance is pretty good but as the rear wheel is of 10 inch, high speed breakers might touch the main stand as it once did in my case. But I haven't face other problems you have mentioned above. Mine is the latest Bluetooth version, mileage is truly awesome because it returns ranging from 59+ to 61+ provided I ride in a gentle manner. and I keep the oil tank always full by refilling it at every 100 km interval.

The stock tires have been known to be garbage since inception. I just put 120-70 Pirellis on front and back and the performance is a world apart. Expensive tires but we'll worth it. Another issue is the complete loss of the front break I experienced going downhill with heavy load under heavy use. The breaks overheated and came back after cool off, but the experience was scary.

Well I faced that problem alot ...whenever I give brake it always skids ...and I have met accident twice because of it. I regret alot after buying it.

New Stranger · Answer

I never felt this pathetic experience with my burgman, moreover many times I saved and never loosen my balance, like sudden breaking by facing bumper or hole or in turning slippery road. I think there's problem with your driving skill.

Jaya Kumar · Answer

From my side Battery problem 3 to 4 times changed still it continued. So no one purchase this vehicle.

Mohnish Mehta · Answer
