Hi GS150R owners,

I am lukin 4 new bike.
After lot of consideration, I hav norrow down to Unicorn and GS150R.
But I m in big confusion b/w them

Did test ride on both bikes.

I can see lot of +ves in GS150R over Unicorn.

Better looks, 6speed, Toe n heel gear shifter, Fully digital speedo meter Super smooth engine etc..
Apart from this both r same.

But Unicorn is runing for years and already proved it value on the road. On the other hand GS has to prove it(new entrant).Basically I am lukin for a bike which can b used for 4-5 years.

So pls giv ur valuable suggestions.

Also I would like to hear from GS150 (Suzuki bike) owners about the service they provide in bangalore.

well
the workshop guys took some pictures of the rusted parts .they said they will send these pictures to gurgaon and then the replacement tank will arrive from there in a weeks time.i will probably get it replaced this week.

Suzuki dealers {at least in mumbai -malad} are bunch of @$$#0!$ and don't know how to properly store an otherwise excellent bike.

Hey u and imjoshee bought from the same showroom, right ? Then may be u can take imjoshee's advise and u can tell the showroom guys about him. u two can help each other... bcos u two bought from the same dealer and have to face same issue...
All the best.

i had the same dilemma.. after a proper test ride finalised on GS.
don kno much abt all the Suzuki SC's in bangalore, but the one which is nearest to my place is APPLE AUTO in BANASANKARI.. bought the bik from there only.. not happy with their service.. mayb other GS owners from bangalore will be able to provide more info.

Vikrant,
I can surely help you in this case & I read your earlier posts.Its my blue GS150R which has the rusted tank.Now is your tank replaced? Just PM if you need any help on this.

**PatienceWins** · 05-05-2009, 11:41 PM

I doubt the suzuki quality now as i see many cases of fuel tank rust in a NEW bike.

Arre I just wanted to help him. There are many automobile companies/dealers to worry about than Suzki... Lol !!!!

**vivek_k_p** · 05-06-2009, 01:02 AM

Hi

68740 is the on road price for GS150R if I take it from Aryan motors, near Domlur flyover, Bangalore.

What about other showrooms?

**outworldly maniac** · 05-06-2009, 01:47 AM

^^^^

in the test ride did u find gsr breaking to be bad
specially the rear drum
i think its crap
which gave me a tough time but thank GOD for the discs
it did work like a drum thou
which really amazed me
didnt really seem a disk
dont know whether that bike was bad

i asked gsr owner before also
but no proper reply

@ friends
please comment on the breaking of the bike

**sam9s** · 05-06-2009, 07:21 AM

I did comment on the braking part for this bike, the one I bought did not have the braking system as efficient as I might have expected BUT the demo/test bike brakes were perfect so I took the gamble as the service man said it would be fine after first service (for what ever reason).........and yes it did improve specially the disc but I wuld still say the rear drum could have been better. I have seen better drum brakes than what GS has.......not that I mean this on is a dud but as I said could have been better.

So have you already narrowed down on the bike??
If no then read on:-

Well to be honest, you can very well go for GS.
As proving the potensial, Unicorn has acheived alot.
Mine is Sep 2004 model and is still in mint condition. Super smooth as ever. So even if you go for Uni, then trust me. In Longer run, you will never regret purchasing this bike.

Test ride both the bikes extensivly and then decide.

The rusting problem seem was with the particular showroom, not with any1 else..?

After seeing some posts in this thread, I became curious and checked my bike's fuel tank. And I was shocked

to find that there was some rust near the opening (white surface). Isn't it common with all the bikes? Isn't it okay? Could someone tell me.... I'm new to bikes (have been riding bikes and scooters since 10+ yrs but GS is the 1st bike I've ever owned)

I'll show it to the mechanic in 2nd service.

**animeher** · 05-06-2009, 06:57 PM

Maybe this problem is arising in salty weather cities. In any case, this should not happen at all, Suzuki should immediately rectify this problem from the ground, and not just by replacing the present rusty ones with another tank which are equally prone to rust.

**sam9s** · 05-07-2009, 06:51 AM

BTW just thought to drop in my POV...I dont have any rusting problem as such neither any oil issue...........may be its a particular issue but not with me....
