Wanted to write a clear review, I have been riding bikes from Hero Honda CD100, which means I am quite old. So no emotions or follow the crowd mentality here. what I look for in a bike: comfortable ride, good build quality. Today I went for a test ride of Gixxer - seen BLUE, White and GREY. White and Grey colors gell well with bike IMHO.
Took a test for for 1-2 Kilometers: Good: Loads or torque - can pull even in 3rd, 4th gears Engine is smooth and silent this is a city bike Not so good: handle bar - feels like horizontal bar, I am 6ft long hands may be driver seat - feels like sitting on curve, no comfort felt even for short duration I sat, may be seat compound is soft - Suzuki pls hear this out. Felt the overall quality little low compared to earlier GS 150R. I ultimately ended up liking the GS 150R - it is an awesome bike(white Color) with good ergonomics but hearing rumors it may be discontinued?
Suzuki please save the GS150R from getting discontinued, it just needs for proper PR and positioning as Family, Cruise bike - just change the headlight cowl like Yamaha Fazer if need be.
For the Gixxer I see a lot of interest from young college guys, it seems like a hit formula for Suzuki.
