It has emerged that Suzuki filed a design patent in Indonesia for what appears to be a second-generation successor to the current Burgman Street 125 EX (priced around 26.8 million rupiah). The design, published by local IP authorities on June 25, reveals the body shape.
From a market perspective, a design patent is a clue to reading the next move. The 2nd generation Burgman Street 125 being filed in Indonesia is proof Suzuki is seriously defending this fiercely contested 125cc scooter market. What the numbers show is that a Southeast Asian commuter scooter isn't merely a cheap product, but a strategic item constantly being updated.

Is filing for a design patent something that always happens before a bike goes on sale?
Feels like the kind of filing done early to keep other manufacturers from copying the design.
This price segment is going to overlap heavily with Honda's Vario and the like.
Curious how much of a price jump this'll be from the current 26.8 million rupiah.
Quite a while's passed since the original Burgman Street, so maybe it's time for a refresh.
It's kind of amusing how much buzz just a design-patent notice can generate.
It's just a patent filing, production isn't confirmed yet, so maybe it's a bit early to get excited.
