    2025 Suzuki Access Road Test Review – The One To Get?

    2025 Suzuki Access Road Test ReviewIndia’s 125cc scooter segment is a rather interesting one. It sits above the 110cc scooters, offering a little more performance and bringing more premium features. Suzuki is among the leaders in this segment as the company operates three offerings – Access, Burgman Street 125 and Avenis 125.
    Access is by far the most popular in Suzuki’s scooter lineup and is the primary volume generator for the brand. So, when the company launches a major update to Access, it is a big deal and it has even emerged as India’s 3rd highest-selling scooter. After experiencing the new 2025 Suzuki Access in and around Pune city, this is what we think about this scooter.
    2025 Suzuki Access
    2025 Suzuki Access Review
    Within the family 125cc scooters, Suzuki Access is a prominent name. It was among the first 125cc scooters in India, launched in 2007. Close to two decades in its life cycle, Access has had multiple updates and the latest 2025 Suzuki Access is the most technologically advanced iteration of this scooter yet. Dropping 125 from its name, Suzuki has simplified the naming too.
    Suzuki launched it at the Auto Expo 2025 earlier this month at a starting price of Rs 81,700 (Ex-sh). There are three variants on offer – Standard Edition, Special Edition and Ride Connect Edition. Standard Edition gets drum brakes, steel wheels and single-tone colours. Special Edition brings dual tone colours, steel wheels and a front disc brake.
    2025 Suzuki Access
    It is the Ride Connect Edition which offers all bells and whistles like alloy wheels, disc brakes and even a connected instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and Navigation. This is the variant we sampled in Pune city which was finished in a lovely Metallic Mat Stellar Blue. Even though the launch colour was Solid Ice Green, I liked Pearl Grace White and Metallic Mat Stellar Blue colours more.
    Design & Appearance
    Where design is concerned, the new 2025 Suzuki Access does not deviate much away from its family scooter silhouette. It looks very much like an Access, just brought up to date with modern styling cues and in-keeping with current trends. In that regard, we can see Access has gotten much sleeker and looks more athletic than it did before.
    2025 Suzuki Access
    We can see headlights have sleekened a lot and look sharper now. Front apron gets re-profiled styling with smaller turn indicators. There’s a U-shaped LED DRL on front apron which is a new addition. Behind this apron, we now get dual glove compartments along with USB charging port, a hook and a conventional keyhole which also operates fuel filler and underseat storage.
    2025 Suzuki Access
    The fuel filler cap is now concealed beneath a plastic flap for a much cleaner aesthetic. There is a new re-designed tail light as well. Side profile is vastly carried over. We get circular reflectors now positioned near glove boxes behind front apron. The top two variants get chrome circular ORVMs that look rather nice, offering a retro vibe to this scooter.
    2025 Suzuki Access
    Also new are the footpegs, which are of metallic type now that look a lot more premium than before. Top variants get brown seat upholstery which contrasts on the dark blue shade on our particular unit. Even though it doesn’t look like it, 2025 Access packs a new chassis underneath and it has had changes to its powertrain as well.
    Specs & Powertrain
    Speaking of powertrain, Suzuki has updated some core components like crankshaft, camshaft and even the crankcase on this scooter with 2025 model. These changes were done to upgrade this engine and align it with stricter BS6 OBD2B emission norms along with Euro 5 emission norms. Because of these changes, there is variance in performance metrics.
    2025 Suzuki Access
    This 124cc engine now makes 8.31 bhp of peak power at 6,500 RPM and 10.2 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 RPM. So, power has gone down slightly, while torque has seen a minor boost, when compared to its predecessor. This is still a relatively simple engine as it is an air-cooled single-cylinder SOHC 2V/cyl unit, mated to a CVT and a one-way clutch which ensures quiter starts than before.
    2025 Suzuki Access
    This is a smooth and refined powertrain without much vibrations if you’re riding under 90 km/h speed (speedo indicated). Post which, there is a mild buzz. Considering the intended application of this scooter, it is perfectly acceptable as prospective owners are not likely to push it that hard all that often. The 5.3L fuel tank will ensure less frequent fuel stops as Suzuki Access can eke out around 50 km/l of fuel efficiency, depending on the riding style.
    2025 Suzuki Access
    Ride & Ergonomics
    Acceleration is brisk and it has enough grunt to manage quick overtakes in the city. The new chassis feels almost similar to its predecessor, offering decent maneuverability. Suzuki is offering 90-section tyres at both ends. Wheel size is 12-inch at the front and 10-inch at the rear. We wished Suzuki offered 12-inches at both ends for better stability and bump absorption.
    2025 Suzuki Access
    Speaking of, ride quality is slightly on the stiffer side and bump absorption is slightly uneven as the wheel sizes differ. However, it is a city scooter to be used as a daily commuter and it does that job quite well and without any hassle. Seat is long and accommodating. Ground clearance is 160 mm, which didn’t pose any issues even on tallest of speed bumps.
    2025 Suzuki Access
    Braking is quite predictable and is acceptable for a 125cc family scooter. Front disc has decent bite and stopping power. Suzuki offers a parking brake with Access, which is a handy and welcome feature. Some rivals omit the parking brake feature, but I used it more than I thought I would have.
    2025 Suzuki Access Switchgear
    Top variants of this scooter weigh 105 kg making it easy to maneuver in low speeds while parking or in city traffic. Rider ergonomics is spot on and it didn’t induce any discomfort in a 182 cm tall individual like myself. Switchgear is aptly positioned too – left gets turn indicators, horn and high beam pass, while right gets an engine kill switch and hazard light.
    2025 Suzuki Access Boot
    Usability
    Front dual glove compartments can easily accept 500ml water bottles and with 2025 Access 125, Suzuki has carved out more under-seat storage than before. 24.4L in volume, to be precise. It will not accommodate a beefy XL sized full-face helmet, but it will easily accommodate a half-face helmet or a smaller and less beefy full-face helmet.
    2025 Suzuki Access Storage
    The instrument cluster is fully digital and shows quite a lot of information. There are two buttons beside this cluster to control it and functions are quite intuitive. We can see time, speed, odometer and trip meter, fuel gauge and temperature gauge and are surrounded by tell-tale lights. This cluster supports smartphone connectivity via the proprietary Suzuki Ride Connect app.
    2025 Suzuki Access Instrument Cluster
    This app is intuitive as well and allows you to connect seamlessly with this system. Once connected, it will show call alerts, SMS alerts and even has turn-by-turn navigation which works well. Also, it has Whatsapp call and message alerts, calendar alerts and weather updates along with an auto-reply SMS feature. These features work quite well, fitting well with tech-savvy customers.
    Conclusions & Reservations
    Concluding the 2025 Suzuki Access is rather easy. It is a no-nonsense scooter that offers utmost reliability and aims to offer great value for the buck. However, we have a few reservations about this scooter as well. Some of them are major, while not classifying as deal breakers.
    2025 Suzuki Access Instrument Cluster
    1. We wished the scooter had a smart key implementation for keyless operations. Also, the physical ket that Suzuki offers is unusually long and digs into your thighs when placed in pant pockets.
    2. We wished this scooter offered better Bluetooth range and a more stable connection. That’s because the connection would drop when I placed my phone in my pant pockets even though it is just 3 feet away from this cluster.
    3. For Bluetooth to work, I had to place my phone in the front glove compartment, which is not lockable. So, I was always on the lookout that someone might nick my phone in traffic.
    4. The USB Type-A charger on Access is quite slow as my Samsung flagship phone only managed to gather around 5% of charge despite plugging it in for more than an hour.
    5. The under-seat storage could have been longer and offered more volume to keep two half-face helmets side-by-side, something that rival scooters can.
    2025 Suzuki Access Instrument Cluster
    The one to get?
    None of these reservations are deal breakers, which is a good thing. Also, most of these can be fixed in the future by Suzuki if there is enough demand for it. Even the LED headlights are quite decent, offering nice throw and spread of light. Particularly acceptable for city applications. Special mention to Suzuki Ride Connect system that allows for easy pairing and doesn’t require your number to be registered in the company’s database before using it.
    2025 Suzuki Access is a strong contender in the 125cc family scooter space and it has great potential to be an all-rounder scooter. In terms of sales, Suzuki Access is currently India’s 3rd best-selling scooters, behind Honda Activa and TVS Jupiter. It has to be noted that both those scooters have 110cc offerings in the mix as well. If you’re in the market for a 125cc family scooter, 2025 Suzuki Access should be high up in your list. More

    Honda CB300R Recalled – Defective Part Free Replacement

    Honda CB300RReplacement will be done entirely free of cost, even if the vehicle’s warranty is no longer applicable
    In line with its continuous focus on enhancing ownership experience and boosting trust and confidence, Honda has announced a voluntary recall for CB300R. Only select units manufactured during a specific period are covered under the voluntary recall campaign. Let’s check out the details.
    Issue with headlight PCB structure
    Honda has identified a potential issue in the internal PCB structure that links to the motorcycle’s headlight. During normal use over a long time, vibrations and other movements can potentially cause fatigue breaks in the core wires at the root of terminals. Depending on the level of breakage, the headlights can start to flicker or completely shut off.
    It is likely that this issue may have been identified during routine checks. The problem could have been faced and reported by multiple users. Damage to the core wires would be gradual and not immediately evident. It may start with a flickering issue in some cases, whereas an instant complete shut off of the headlight is also possible.
    While this issue may not be a problem during daytime, it can create safety risks when riding during the night. Honda CB300R is primarily for city roads, but longer journeys may be possible based on rider preferences and demands of the situation. A malfunctioning headlight can be a major issue when driving across highways at night.
    Honda CB300R
    As of now, no accidents have been reported that could be related to this issue. With the recall now announced, users can get the issue fixed completely free of cost. The recall covers even vehicles whose warranty period has already expired.
    Which CB300R units are impacted?
    As per the recall announcement, specific CB300R units manufactured between 2018 and 2020 have been identified to have the headlight PCB issue. Honda is carrying out the replacement of the faulty part as a precautionary manner. The replacement will be done at Honda BigWing dealerships.
    Honda BigWing dealers will contact the owners of affected bikes via call / email / SMS. Technicians will carry out an inspection and apply the required fix and replacement. To know if their CB300R motorcycle is covered under the recall, customers can also check on Honda BigWing website by entering their vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). For a hassle-free experience, it is recommended that customers book their service appointment in advance.
    Honda CB300R
    While a recall has been issued, it is not known how much time will it take to replace the faulty PCB component. Owners can probably approach their dealership to get more details. Since the identified issue affects only the bike’s headlight, users can continue to use their CB300R in daytime hours. Night rides could be avoided till the faulty part is replaced.
    A neo-retro roadster bike, Honda CB300R is preferred for its sharp, dynamic styling and sporty performance. Powering the bike is a 286.01 cc, liquid cooled engine that generates 31 PS and 27.5 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Honda CB300R is available at a starting price of Rs 2.40 lakh.

    2025 Hero Passion+ Now OBD-2B Compliant – New Colours, Updates

    2025 Hero Passion+ LaunchedTill stocks last, the outgoing model will be available for sale alongside the new OBD-2B-compliant Hero Passion+
    Indian automotive space is witnessing a transformative era, with a strong focus on reducing emissions and improving safety. On the emissions front, vehicles have to comply with the stricter OBD-2B emission norms. To meet the compliance deadline of 1st April 2025, many two-wheeler models have already been updated.
    Latest addition to the list of OBD-2B-compliant two-wheelers is Hero Passion+, coming from world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp. Let’s check out the updates introduced with the new model.
    2025 Hero Passion+ Update – What’s new?
    In addition to the OBD-2B compliance, colour options have been updated for 2025 Hero Passion+. While the earlier model is available with four colour options, the OBD-2B Passion+ gets only two colour options (Black Nexus Blue and Black Heavy Grey). It is possible that these colour variants are in demand. The MY24 model has two additional colours – Black Grey Stripe and Sport Red.
    All four colour options have a dual-tone livery, applied across the headlamp cowl, fuel tank and side panels. This is one of the distinctive features seen among Hero’s entry-level commuter bikes. Earlier, Hero also used to offer Passion Pro and Passion Pro XTEC models. However, these two have been discontinued.
    2025 Hero Passion+ Launched
    As of now, the OBD-2B Passion+ does not get any exclusive colour options. However, it is possible that new colour options could be introduced for the bike at a later date. Since it is the only bike in the Passion range, it can do better by providing more choices to customers. One can consider the example of Hero Splendor+ that offers a total of 7 colour choices. Similarly, HF Deluxe is available with 5 colour options.
    Price increase
    2025 Passion+ OBD-2B model is available at a starting price of Rs 81,651. That’s Rs 1,750 more than the 2024 Passion Plus (Rs 79,901). In comparison, the top selling Hero Splendor+ is available at a starting price of Rs 77,176. The i3S variant is priced at Rs 78,426. To access more features and striking colour options, users can choose the Splendor+ XTEC variant. It is offered at a starting price of Rs 84,301.
    In the 100cc segment, Hero also sells the HF Deluxe and HF 100. These are priced at Rs 59,998 and Rs 59,018, respectively. Talking about Passion+, the bike has a more stylized and sporty appearance in comparison to the likes of Splendor+ and HF Deluxe. Passion+ has flowing and curvy body panels, as compared to the minimalistic design seen with Splendor Plus. Body graphics appear more engaging on the Passion Plus, which may appeal to younger riders.
    Powertrain and hardware specifications remain the same for OBD-2B Passion+. In terms of sales, Hero Passion+ is currently the 4th bestselling Hero two-wheeler. In February 2025, sales were at 15,598 units. The bike contributed 4.37% to Hero’s overall sales in the month. Hero Passion+ competes with the likes of Honda Shine 100 and Bajaj Platina 100. More

Some variants get a rear luggage rack for utilities and some get more sophisticated rear pillion grab rails.
    2025 Hero Splendor+ Launch
    New OBD-2B Compliant Engine

    TVS Apache Electric Bike Patent Images Leak

    TVS Apache Electric Bike Design Patented – Render for reference onlyExpected to be positioned as a premium offering, TVS electric bike is likely to be fully faired and get fixed battery packs
    With the iQube electric scooter, TVS has already established a strong presence in the electric scooter segment with a market share of around 25%. Going forward, TVS seems to be aiming to target the nascent electric motorcycle segment. There aren’t many rivals here and a performance-oriented electric motorcycle can get the attention of enthusiasts. Let’s analyse what the patent images reveal about TVS new electric motorcycle.
    Compact profile, dual-battery packs
    For its new electric motorcycle, TVS will be leveraging its experience and expertise in developing and manufacturing performance-oriented machines. The experience gained with bikes like Apache RTR range and RR310, along with BMW’s 310cc range, will be quite useful. Also, TVS has already tested the Apache RTE electric motorcycle in a track environment.
    TVS Apache Electric Bike Design Patented
    It had recorded a top speed of 200 km/h at the TVS Racing Electric One Make Championship (e-OMC) held last year. New TVS electric bike patent images reveal that the bike will be using a mid-mounted air-cooled motor. While the motor casing seems familiar to that of TVS King electric rickshaw, the architecture is likely to be entirely different.
    Also, the platform being used for the electric bike looks entirely new. Patent images reveal a powerful motor and a belt drive setup for sending power to the rear wheel. One can spot some distinctive features such as use of multiple gears to connect the motor with the front sprocket. This design will ensure increased torque or power, depending on the diameter of these gears.
    TVS Apache Electric Bike Design Patented
    Another unique feature is the dual battery packs, mounted one on each side of the central spine frame. This ensures an even distribution of the battery weight on both sides. Also achieves a desirable lower centre of gravity, as compared to electric motorcycles with fuel tank-mounted battery pack.
    However, the battery packs appear to be fixed units, bolted onto the frame. That will limit the bike’s market potential, as some customers prefer electric two-wheelers with removable / swappable battery packs. As of now, only a few models such as Hero Vida, Honda Activa Electric and Revolt motorcycles offer removable battery packs.
    TVS Apache Electric Bike Design Patented
    Single-sided swingarm
    As evident in the patent images, the electric bike is equipped with a single-sided swingarm and a preload-adjustable offset monoshock suspension. This supports the possibility that TVS upcoming electric motorcycle will be positioned as a premium, race-capable model. It could get USD forks at the front. Positioning of the dual battery packs indicates that the bike may be fully faired.
    The bike does not have to include an air box in the sub-frame. This arrangement frees up space, which can be used for installing other electrical and electronic components. In terms of performance, TVS new electric motorcycle could be comparable to the Apache RTE. With the dual battery packs, one can easily expect a range of over 120 km. As the patent has just been filed, it may take a couple of years for TVS new electric bike to reach production stage.

    KTM 390 SMC R Spied Testing With Saree Guard – India Launch Soon?

    KTM 390 SMC R Spied With Saree Guard
    Team Orange has been expanding its 390 platform to incorporate more vehicles and genres. KTM recently launched the new 390 Adventure in India for a starting price of Rs 3.68 lakh (Ex-sh). It is speculated that KTM will also launch 390 Enduro R, which is a genre that KTM has carved out on 390 platform for the first time.
    Also for the first time on 390 platform is 390 SMC R, which has been spied recently in India. While it is not confirmed to launch in India, this particular test mule looks like it is an India-spec model. When launched, it will be the most fun-oriented motorcycle based on this platform. Let’s take a closer look.
    KTM 390 SMC R Spied Testing
    Up until now, KTM only had street fighter 390 Duke, 390 Adventure ADV and RC 390 Supersport as part of its 390 portfolio. Now, the company has expended this displacement class to incorporate a hard-core enduro motorcycle called 390 Enduro R and a supermoto bike called 390 SMC R.
    While 390 Enduro R is likely to launch in India soon, the latest spy shots of 390 SMC R indicates that the company might consider launching it in India too. We say this because the latest spy shots of 390 SMC R test mules show the presence of a saree guard, which is mandated on all 2W vehicles sold here.
    KTM 390 SMC R Spied With Saree Guard
    Bajaj Auto handles manufacturing of 390 portfolio for KTM India’s domestic and export business. Testing of these motorcycles in India is a common practice even though they’re not destined to launch here. However, the presence of a saree guard strongly suggests that it might be India bound.
    What to expect?
    Overall design is similar to 390 Enduro R, but 390 SMC R features smaller 17-inch wheels wrapped with fat rubber. 110-section at the front and 150-section for rear. Interestingly, these are wire-spoke wheels that may support tubeless tyres. It gets the same braking hardware as 390 Enduro R along with an additional Supermoto ABS mode.
    Suspension is handled by fully adjustable WP Apex USD telescopic front forks along with fully adjustable rear WP Apex mono-shock setup. Front is adjustable for rebound and compression and rear is adjustable for rebound and preload. It gets a pill-shaped 4.3-inch TFT cluster as 390 Enduro R that should be Bluetooth enabled.
    2025 KTM 390 SMC R
    Powering this motorcycle will be the same 399cc liquid-cooled DOHC 4V/cyl single-cylinder engine that is capable of 45.3 bhp of peak power and 39 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Launch is likely to happen in the coming months.

    2025 Yamaha MT-15 Launched In Malaysia – Gets New Colour

    2025 Yamaha MT-15 LaunchedYamaha MT-15 is one of the most popular street motorcycles in the world. Owing to its pricing, weight and performance it packs, it has been a sought after choice by many. In Malaysia, Yamaha has updated the MT-15 to MY25 version with a new colourway, while retaining the prices that MY24 version had. Let’s take a closer look.
    2025 Yamaha MT-15 Launched
    Yamaha has a successful premium 155cc motorcycle portfolio in India. We’re talking about MT-15 Street Fighter and R15 Supersport machines that have been extremely popular and sought after. In February 2025, Yamaha sold 9,490 units of MT-15 showing just how popular it is in the country.
    2025 Yamaha MT-15 Launched
    In Malaysia, however, Yamaha has updated MT-15 to MY25 version. If you’re looking at a host of updates and changes, you will not find any. Also, if you were expecting a price hike with this update to MY25 version, you would be pleasantly surprised as Yamaha has carried over MY24 prices.
    Speaking of, 2025 Yamaha MT-15 in Malaysia has been priced at RM 12,498 without registration taxes and insurance. This turns out to be around Rs 2.4 lakh. This is the same price Yamaha was selling MY24 version for. The main addition is a new Ice-Storm colourway that looks rather nice.
    2025 Yamaha MT-15 Launched
    It gets Ice Blue shade as highlight colour which can be seen on fuel tank, rear subframe panel and on both alloy wheels. This Ice Blue is darker than Cyan and lighter than Racing Blue offered in India. It looks cool and has a charm of its own. Something we wished Yamaha Motor India launched here as well.
    What else is new?
    Currently, Yamaha MT-15 is offered in Dark Matte Blue, Metallic Black, Cyan Storm DLX, Ice Fluo-Vermillion DLX, Metallic Black DLX, Racing Blue DLX and Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Edition colourways in India. The addition of Ice-Storm colourway would spruce up the colour palette on this motorcycle.
    2025 Yamaha MT-15 Launched
    While at it, we wish Yamaha also updates MT-15’s instrumentation with the same TFT cluster seen on R15 and now on lower tier FZ-S FI Hybrid. At least as on option. Other than that 2025 Yamaha MT-15 launched in Malaysia has no changes over MY24 version. It gets the same Gold USD forks at front and mono-shock at the rear and disc brakes with dual-channel ABS.
    The 140-section rear tyre is fat and offers a lot of cornering ability. Powertrain continues to be the same 155cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC 4V/cyl VVA engine that can crank out around 18 bhp of peak power and 14.1 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. More
