Wednesday, October 17, 2007
Access 125 is the third product from the Suzuki stable in India after Heat and Zeus motorcycles. 125cc Access is powered by a 125-cc air-cooled four-stroke engine with Continous Variable Transmission(CVT) which develops 8.5bhp at 7000rpm with 1.0kgm of torque at 5000rpm. The design is typically japanese, almost flat aprons where large turn indicators are embedded. Though it has a longer wheelbase access looks compact because of this design. No body coloured mirrors for this access. Paint quality is of top notch.
It features contemporary telescopic front suspension and a rust free body. It also features central locking system and provision for fitting a spare rear tyre at the back similar to the one found in Kinetic honda. The under seat storage is quite good, the foot pegs are very stylish and tuck in neatly when unused. The overall design is very simple in comparison to Kinetic SYM's Flyte and ultra reliable Honda Activa. The build quality is also not up to the mark in comparison to Honda's Superb build quality. Access comes with usual features like multi-reflector headlamp, electric starter, fuel gauge, speedometer etc.
At the fore and the aft Access features 120mm drum brakes. Both at the front and at the rear 90/100-10 tyres are used. Suspension is through contemporary telescopic at the front and swing arm at the rear. It has an unique shutter mechanism for a single control point for the entire machine to avoid theft. It is available in five colours - red, blue, black, grey and silver.
