An interesting feature of the New Suzuki Burgman Street is the cleverly designed floor board that allows the scooter to be driven in two different positions .While one of them includes the conventional position in which the rider places his feet on the floor,the other allows him to stretch his legs and place his feet towards the inner part of the front apron offering an advantage over long distances.

Braking on the Suzuki Burgman Street is done with the help of a disc brake at the front with a drum brake at the rear. A CBS (Combined Braking System) is also supplied as standard as a safety device that automatically applies both brakes when the driver applies the rear brake lever only. This ensures safer and improved braking. The scooter also receives storage pockets at the front and one of them includes a USB charger to keep devices such as smartphones on the go.
