    OH! I need my air sickness bag! Why do they make such horrendous looking things and call it a bike! The alloys loos horrible. Same engine in three bikes?

    I think the headlight cluster is bad looking too. It looks like there was a covering to it and it broke.

        @ Dhariya: You can borrow my Air Sickness Bag. I have better resistivity. Further, I am amazed to see why the SMIPL is still beating the hell out of their tried and Tested 125 mill. I understand that their 125 cc engine is one of the best in the market with amazing long life, but still, I was expecting them to deliver us something more than just the design change. I would call it just a cosmetic make over, nothing too great done in the Engine. as for the Alloys, I guess it would still be from Enkei.

        What is the USP of this Bike? And if Suzuki thinks that they will be able to sell some numbers by launching another boring product like this, then my sympathies with the minds behind it.

        Suzuki desperately needs to bring out something new, innovative, exciting. Else, it has to manage meeting its both ends by producing Access 125 ( which already is facing good competition from Mahindra Rodeo and Honda Activa/ Aviator, to name a few)


        Sorry Suzuki, this time no Cheers for you.

              What's the USP??? THe headlight cluster looks so misplaced and wierd! The colors look good, but the design kills all the likeability (atleast in pics). Also notice the different position of front number plate. The small tail lamp surrounded by big plastic part seems so odd

                  The bike as a (w)hole itself looks odd and awkward

                        I took a look at the Indian market after god knows how long and... Nothing has changed.
                        This is sad. Very sad.

                            Somehow people here are failing to realize that this bike is for the segment which ha sthe maximum opportunity in India to earn money for any company! And thats certainly not the higher end bikes segment!

                            If you want Suzuki to shut down office in India like Honda in Canada then you are most welcome to keep singing the same rhyme my friends!

                            The mantra: Look at what you want, ignore the rest.

                              With all due respect, Sunny, I don't see any winds of change in ANY segments (Other than the imports) after the R15's launch.

                              We've discussed this same issue countless number of times for the better part of half a decade. You know where I'm coming from.

                                Just one question.

                                Doesnt this bike deserve a disc, even as an option?
