Suzuki's retro-styled scooter, the US125, has launched in Thailand as a 2026 model, priced from the 40,000-baht range. Combining classic looks with everyday practicality, this 125cc model targets the Southeast Asian market, where retro scooters remain popular.
A retro scooter like the US125 launching in Thailand from the 40,000-baht range is proof that 'the joy of choosing' has taken root in an Asian scooter market once dominated purely by utility. From a market perspective, a segment that wants design at an accessible price is growing. I see this as a machine that reflects the depth of Southeast Asia's motorcycle culture.
