Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
ZMR is a proper torque monster, and is quite easy to ride in cities as well.Originally posted by satyajitrc View PostOne thing I noticed is ZMR is having less Ground Clearance than Gixxer.
And since I used ZMR extensively and moved to scooters later on for practicality.
Guess things would be manageable in Gixxer but again these are perspective and varies from person to person.
Share your thoughts on this line please.....
What was your thinking in shifting to scooters?
Also, gixxer low GC is very subjective. Its GC is par for the category, and looks are deceptive. Have not had any issues with bottom scraping at all. And this is riding in moon crater conditions of bangalore[emoji23]

Shifted from ZMR to Swish when moved out of Kolkata to Chennai.
And now moved from Chennai to Bangalore.
Due to hassle of State Transfer and Taxes always prefer to sell the vehicle in the state only.
Also with the Gixxer there will not be any tourring, I guess since now have a family.
Hence the dilemna and restricting the budget :P34567 kms and ZMR sold :(

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
Why not the FZ 2.0 ? Apart from the usual rhetoric that "no good top-end", if you are planning to ride only in the city and keep your bike for quite sometime, its not a bad buy afterall. Has better energy efficiency than the Gixxer and wider service network and from some of my reading elsewhere, you can get the kick-start factory fitted as well.Originally posted by satyajitrc View PostNeed to buy a Commuter Bike and Gixxer would be my choice primarily since the SVC is near my place.
Would be daily to & fro of 35-40 kms in pathetic Bangalore traffic.
Waiting to sell my Two month old Suzuki Swish scooter by this weekend and then would be ready to go.
Other suggestions are welcome.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
I've been on a 240 kms ride yesterday. Out of which 40 kms(2-way) had no roads whatsoever. It was under construction. Complete overhaul is going on to shorten the NH and this was an old route. I didn't scrape the bottom even once. Pieces of rocks everywhere ! I thought I'd ruin the tyres, no issues with that though.Originally posted by satyajitrc View PostOne thing I noticed is ZMR is having less Ground Clearance than Gixxer.

However, I did HIT the bottom once, Yes! HIT (with a thump! ), when I gave my friend a lift and went over a hump a bit on the faster side. And the hump was a bit on the larger side as well. I've been careful over humps ever since. No such issues on solo ride though.

Pradeepa, True but as far as GC is concerned on paper both looks same although not aware of real world situation.Originally posted by pradeepa View PostWhy not the FZ 2.0 ?

And somehow snob attitude of SVC in my earlier instance in another city is driving me away.
Also there are no nearby dealers & SVC at my place which is a major deterrent.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
Exactly look whose back and talkingOriginally posted by Divya Sharan View PostLook who is back! Woo hoo!!!
Do you crave for dhoom bikes? Gixxer SF, else Gixxer Naked.
I'm not recommending any other bike because you're my daddy and you'd have arrived at the Zuki keeping worthy pointers in mind.
welcome bro

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
Well well ... In the Gixxer thread you are promoting the gas guzzler under-powered FZOriginally posted by pradeepa View PostWhy not the FZ 2.0 ?

, When ever you talk about FZ 2.0 being energy efficiency than the Gixxer do mention that Gixxer in-spite of being more powerful engine that too a carb engine compared to less smaller CC Fuel injection over hyped Bluecore engine deliver almost save efficiency and still cheaper than FZ2.0 .

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
Few Generic Queries to the forum members.
1. Any idea about OTR price in Bangalore
(Since there were some price discrepancies in HYD as seen in earlier pages)
2. Do we need to buy Crash Guard, Mirrors, Saree Guard, Foot Rest, Side Stand etc separately.
(Was not the case for Hero Three years back and seems this is the trend)
3. Going by the above can any good Samaritans post the break up of the same.
(Would be able to save some dimes and can get it done outside, if feasible)34567 kms and ZMR sold :(

Not sure if they updated the post-budget prices.
