Used Buyer Review

The Access 125 is about as unglamorous as commuters get, but that's precisely the point. Suzuki built this thing to run forever on neglect, and mostly it delivers. The 124cc single pulls cleanly from low revs, the SEP fuel injection on newer models idles smooth in traffic, and the floorboard-style footrest genuinely makes city riding less exhausting than pegs. Used examples hold up surprisingly well — check the telescopic forks for staining and the drum rear brake for fade, because previous owners rarely service either. Where it frustrates is on the open road above 80kph, where vibration becomes your co-rider and the 5.6 litre tank starts feeling optimistic. The CVT-style automatic transmission suits beginners but experienced riders will miss direct control. For a used buy, stick to 2018 onwards for the fuel-injected variants — carb models before that gum up if left sitting. Budget for fresh rollers and belt inspection regardless of claimed mileage.
