Suzuki Motorcycles India wants to ride the Gixxer wave. And rightly so, it is after all their best product yet. Say hello then to the next chapter in the Suzuki Gixxer saga… the Gixxer SF. It is a fully faired motorcycle for enthusiasts who want a sportier looking bike, albeit one with a comfortable touring and commuting edge to it. And lest we forget, the SF stands for Sport Fairing, by the way.
As with the majority of the body panels, the engine, the gearbox and the cycle parts are exactly the same as the naked Gixxer. So, the Gixxer SF gets a refined, nice sounding and peppy 14.8PS, 155cc single cylinder engine that is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. It’s a nice combo but the gearbox could do with slightly crisper shifts.
So, the new Suzuki Gixxer SF will go up against the 150cc Yamaha Fazer. And because the Gixxer SF will be cheaper, lighter and in fact, more fuel efficient, there’s a good chance it will bring in heathy sales numbers. That it will also have a higher top speed, only strengthens its case.
go for it.
