The new Burgman Street EX is the only version of the Suzuki maxi-scooter to sport the larger wheel with the other variants making do with a 10-inch unit at the rear.

The Burgman Street EX also carries forward the Bluetooth-enabled digital instrument console with the Suzuki Ride Connect system found on the mid-spec version of the scooter. This system allows riders to sync their phones with the instrument cluster allowing for features like turn-by-turn navigation, incoming call, SMS and WhatsApp Alert display, missed call and unread SMS alerts, speed exceeding warning, phone battery level display and estimated time of arrival among others.

Speaking about the launch of the new Burgman Street EX, Satoshi Uchida, Managing Director, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd. said, "The love and affection that our Burgman Street got from the Indian customers prompted us to launch the All-New Burgman Street EX in the country immediately after the global unveil.
