On A Hunt For A Maxi-Scooter? Take A Look At This

While the Aprilia SXR 160 has sharp body lines, the Suzuki Burgman Street features more curvaceous lines. The rear-end of the SXR 160 appears smaller compared to the front-end whereas the punny 10-inch rear wheel makes the Burgman Street look disproportionate.

The Aprilia SXR 160 flaunts a three-piece LED headlight with DRLs which gives it a much more distinctive look than the Suzuki Burgman Street’s LED headlight.

Both the scooters have large aprons and tall windscreens, but the SXR 160’s smoked windscreen complements the overall look better than the clear windscreen does on the Burgman Street.
