Looks very neat, I hope suzuki would have stressed on quality here cause with suzuki, unlike Indian manufacturers there would be no questions asked about reliability and the quality of engine and transmission.
15.5 Litre tank, six gears.... sounds like a good tourer already
13.8bhp of peak power at 8500rpm and 13.4Nm of peak torque 6000rpm is not exciting but on par with other bikes in the category, rumours were that this bike would pump 15+ horses....
doesnt sport a mono either
tough luck suzuki!

the GS150R will also have a reliable engine... so, it has the potential to bit into the Unicorn's share. What would actually work wonders for this bike is if the firm could utilise sister-concern Maruti Suzuki's reach and network.
This would add value and build goodwill. What say?
Some more pictures of the GS150R

When a company has been stereotyped as a feeble bike manufacturer then you need something ground breaking to make a return, to have an impact. Suzuki cannot get any significant market unless they come up with something that we haven't seen in India before. Bringing 150CC bikes with regular comtemporary designs is just a another useless attempt to....I don't know what.

the bike looks combination of pulsar ,unicorn, apache, cbz what`s not but still looks are not very good, 6-speed gearbox is good , it must have monoshock & 15 bhp of power with better looks may work for themsigpic

Very neat looking bike and features like dual riding mode, LED tail lamp, BS carb and Trottle Position Sensor, 6 speed transmission, engine balancer etc are a premium at price point of 59000. Technologically and quality-wise don't do injustice by comparing this bike with Pulsar or any another 150cc bike in this price range. With quality of Suzuki engine and other parts (like say digital console - we all know how error prone is Pulsar's and Apache's), this bike is a step ahead and I dare say a dream bike for anyone looking for premium commuter.sigpicOm Yamahaya Namaha...praise the lord!

The headlight seems XCD'ish!! But at least the bike surprassed my expectations in terms of design.The bike will definitely sell well if one considers the quality of Suzuki engines in terms of performance and economy.
I hope a more powerful version/higher capacity is in the offing....Any one listening??

nothing special
Well there is no standout feature in the. bike per se - There is no USP for this bike in my opinion.
Its true it is a pulsi-corn..The rear shouts "cbz/hunk mish-mash!!",,tank is a blow-up of the Zeus' and the fairing is a rip-off of the pulsar's
- Suzuki has tried obviously to bring in the reference to the Gixxers by incorporating that styling in the headlamp cluster.(i sure hope they don't go about proclaiming that the passing resemblance would give an "authentic racing feel-reminiscent of the legendary GSX series")
Now I am not attempting to deride the company(I am big fan of the Gixxers myself)...But given the competition, seriously this bike does not provide that edge Its just another run-of the mill 150cc.
Unfortunately for Suzuki the rumors about 15BHP sadly remain so-Only rumors.
On a positive note though, given what the company did with the Zeus, I think we can safely assume a refined and vibe-free mill with good reliability to boot..and the instrument cluster looks good..
I wonder what stops them from making bikes like the RTR or FZ 16..DO they lack the R&D or capital or simply the will to provide us with an outstanding product?..I simply cant understandMy only mantra - Om Speed OM
