The Suzuki Gixxer is a great example of how one product can change the fortunes of a brand. Until the Gixxer was launched, there wasn’t a single bike from Suzuki’s Indian portfolio that had an aspirational factor attached to it.Being a race-spec bike it had to undergo cosmetic updates.
The headlight, mirrors, turn indicators and the rear number plate assemble have been chucked.
The rear seat gets a cowl to make the bike look sporty while the Suzuki racing blue colour has been carried forward but the fairing has been filled with sponsor decals to give it that quintessential race bike look. The Suzuki Gixxer SF, in my opinion, is among the best 150cc motorcycles on sale in India and in its track-spec avatar the desirability factor goes a few notches higher.
