Default Suzuki GS150R (Road Test by Zigwheels)

Yeah I know, this space is for XBHP'ians to give their First Impressions.. but since there has been not much for the Suzuki GS150R so far, lets read what "Zigwheels" thinks about the Suzuki GS150R..

Zigwheels comment the GS150R as an "Commu-Tourer"


Posted below is the Road Test of the GS150R done by Zigwheels.. XBHPians can also post their First Impressions here..

Wow, seems zigwheels is all praises for GS150R. Glad the bike is living up my expectations! Started saving money for it already.

I think Suzuki could have introduced GSR150 with FI instead of Carb. With no difference to any other feature. It would have made not only for a better commuter bike but also a better perceived 150cc bike in the minds of the customer.

I don't think this bike will make any difference in the Suzuki's lost fame... coz i think it an ordinary 150cc bike except it is 6-speed...
Now FZ16 is remarkably making a good name to Yamaha... Suzuki must have tried for some thing special in this bike atleast (an FI)...
I can't understand what they are expecting from all these bikes. They had a respected bike like (Shogun)... Why are they not trying for such bikes... come on guys think of it...

Binoy : the FZ might be the king of the 'performance' 150cc segment, but the GS is surely the best (almost..) in the 'commuter' 150cc segment.

Please don't say FZ is king of performance in 150 CC, i am riding it for month now i can assure you with my riding experience of RTR and UNI, FZ performance isnt mind blowing

Call FZ as the "King with the fattest a$$" or the "King of poser value" but certainly not performance.
What puzzles w.r.t the GS150R is that why does a commuter need 6th gear when the Uni does the same job perfectly well in different colors with a cog less????
