The Gixxer looks really interesting. If priced right, it should give the FZ a good run for its money. They should not have dropped the 6th cog from the GS150R. The 6th gear combined with an optional rear disc would have pulled many customers away from FZ. Gotta love the speedo even though I'm not a big fan of digital tachos. It totally brings shame to the cramped and crappy looking unit on the FZ.

But they said launch will be by July. As I am a new biker, I think I can buy a victor/splendor and get my hands dirty then buy this AWESOME piece and live happily ever after

I am in the same condition as you dude. Infact I was about to buy GS150 in this month's salary when suddenly this bike pops up Now I am also waiting for the Auto Expo or will wait for GiXxEr

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

lets see how it PERFORM .....

waiting for it .....

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

Looks awesome. Wanna see it in flesh though. Pricing will be a important factor. ..

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

It's certainly a well devised move in a different light; now the play-field is even, bring it...

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

Looks like decent bike. Now many Indians can join this forum: Suzuki GSX-R Motorcycle Forums: Gixxer.com

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

Found surfing on the Internet that its not a make over of the old GS150....

The Gixxer might not look it (it looks more like a 200) but it is a 150cc, or 155cc to be precise. And it's not an engine that it shares with the GS 150R; Suzuki's other more commuter centric 150cc motorcycle. According to Suzuki, the Gixxer's engine is all new; it uses new piston and combustion chamber design; lighter and more slippery components; and it doesn't even sport the same bore and stroke values as the GS. The Gixxer's engine also uses SEP or Suzuki Eco Performance; a technology Suzuki says enhances fuel economy without eating into the power stakes. It is a single cylinder engine with a single overhead cam operating two valves. The power or torque figures for the motorcycle haven't been revealed yet, but according to the Japanese two wheeler giant (which hasn't acquired that status in India yet), the Gixxer's engine will have best in class performance. Also read: Suzuki Gixxer unveiled.
The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox and not a 6-speed as on the GS. The rationale? Officially, the gear ratios for the new 'box work so well throughout the rev range of the engine that there was no need for a 6-speed. Unofficially, the Indian junta never warmed up to a 6-speed 'box in this class of motorcycles. So the new one thus developed, was designed and optimised to deliver similar if not better performance (read rideability, acceleration and fuel economy) as the 6-speed unit.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

what difference does a fairing do ?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

Eyyyaaahhh I can smell it , GSX150R, hope it has got all it needs to kick both the R15 and CBR150R out of the League. . .

better aerodynamics, good stability, wind protection, combined with that Suzuki's racing DNA and all combines for an Awesome Bike . . .

Mmmmmh if you still didn't get it, let me tell you in simple, what's the difference in riding a Yamaha FZ and Yamaha R15, not to forget typical Indian people mind set, faired bikes are any day better lookers and performers , . .

Cheers!!!

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

You didn't get my point. I don't think you know what a GSX series is about. I wasn't talking about a fairing alone..

I hope you do know the difference between the FZ series and the R series in Yamaha.

The R15 does have a better performance figure compared to the FZ16, right?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

I personally hope that Suzuki launches a multi cylinder GSXR(a real Gixxer) in the range of 300-500cc. That displacement range will have a good combination of practicality/performance for the Indian roads and we don't have much choice there either. We aren't going to get 600cc supersports in the near future from the Japs. Even if we get one, it won't be that affordable for sure. So, something like a GSXR450 with an inline 3/4 engine (or even a ZX4R or a CBR450RR or an R4 etc) will be great or may be I should stop getting high

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

and is that because of the fairing alone ?

(or does The R15 has a differently tuned, liquid coOLed, 4vaLved engine with a slightly better compression ratio as compared to air cooled, 2 valved fz16)

and as far as i know the full faired version of fz16 is the fazer, right . . . not the R15.

i simply couldn't resist going offtopic . . .
coming back to the gixxer . . .hope Suzuki prices this one right,after the mighty disappointment with Inazuma

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

In terms net profit to motorcycle manufactures, how many sports or quarter litre engines(for that matter) are on road(in India) as opposed to 150cc(& below) motorcycles?

Suzuki seems to be reactive seeing Honda chewing on market share, Yamaha would like to capitalise too. Nevertheless, impressive flagships sway the critical crowd(early adopters) towards a brand.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Suzuki Let's Launched: xBhp News

Lower capacity motorcycles are the profit bringers for the companies no doubt. But what I said was from the point of view of myself or a supersport fan. That's why I mentioned 'I personally hope' in my post


Well, the FZ/Fazer engine is more of a commuter engine in a fancy body. The state of tune is however, a bit better than most commuters.

In his post he mentioned GSXR150, not just a regular 150 with fairing. If it is a GSXR, we can be pretty sure that it will have a liquid cooled, fuel injected engine with high revving capabilities. In other words, it will be a scaled down supersport, not just a commuter with fairing. So, a GSXR should indeed be compared to an R15, not a Fazer.
