Suzuki is second to none when it comes to affordable and economic motorcycles. Its local lineup is complete with a variety of two-wheelers fit for different needs. Scooters, underbones, naked and sport bikes—you name it.
For those looking for the most cost-efficient commuter out there, there’s the Suzuki Smash Fi. Equipped with Suzuki Eco Performance fuel injection technology, the Smash Fi promises excellent fuel economy at 68km/L. With its 3.7-liter fuel tank filled to the brim, you can get up to 250km of range.
None of that comes at the cost of performance either, as the Smash’s 115cc engine produces 9.25hp at 7,500rpm and 9.1Nm of torque at 6,500rpm, making it one of the most powerful among the 110-115cc engines available in the market. The base Smash Fi variant comes with drum brakes and spoke wheels and stickers for P67,400, while the higher trim with disc brakes and mags goes for P72,400. It stays true to the slogan: “Smash Mura, Smash Matipid, Smash Maporma, Smash Malakas, at Smash Matibay.”
Riders looking for a more comfortable bike without compromising on style fuel efficiency can then opt for the Burgman Street, Suzuki’s trusted small-displacement maxi scooter. It comes in two versions, both equipped with a 124cc air-cooled single-cylinder Suzuki Eco Performance engine that generates 8.58hp at 7,000rpm and 10.2Nm of torque at 5,000rpm.
The Burgman Street Standard comes with an P83,400 price tag and gets a combined braking system, a 5.5-liter fuel tank, a 21-liter underseat compartment, and a side-stand switch for added safety. It has 160mm of ground clearance with a floorboard that allows for flexible foot positions for more comfortable rides. Fuel efficiency, meanwhile, is at an impressive 54.9km/L .
The Burgman Street EX takes things up a notch, as it gets all that and more for just P92.400. It has a bigger 12-inch rear tire for a more macho look, as well as an Engine Auto Stop/Start (EASS) system for improved fuel economy. Speaking of which, it also does an even more impressive 56.8km/L thanks to the Suzuki Eco Performance (SEP) Alpha engine which also gives it a Silent Starter System (SSS)..
There’s also the GIXXER SF 155, a bike that gives you a mix of comfort and efficiency but with added flair. Its stylish design and bulky physique give it that commanding, big bike-like road presence, thanks in part to the large-diameter front forks and its long wheelbase.
But not to be fooled by its looks, it comes with an economical 155cc air-cooled, single-cylinder gasoline engine churning out 10.4kW at 8,000rpm and 14Nm of torque at 6,000rpm. It ensures optimal performance while giving you a solid 50.2km/L. It comes with a P114,900 price tag, making it one of the most budget-friendly options in the 155cc backbone segment.
Whether it’s for commutes, for long out-of-town road trips, or spirited rides, there’s a Suzuki motorcycle for every rider. What about you—which bike do you think suits you best?
