The front of the motorcycle is where the differences lie. The swept-back headlamp design is exactly the same as the Gixxer’s, while the full fairing apes the ones on Suzuki’s larger capacity GSX-R motorcycles. Air vents that sit on either side of the headlight are there for aesthetics rather than performance gains. Moving back, the rest of the design is just like the Gixxer’s, so you get the same muscular fuel tank, single-piece seat, a stubby rear with split grab handles and integrated LED tail-light.
Overall, the Suzuki Gixxer SF is an impressive package. It is based on the Gixxer, which is a fun product to begin with. What the SF gets over and above the Gixxer is the full fairing, which will be a hit with Indian buyers at its price point ?97, 532(on road, Mumbai). With an easy riding position, the SF will be a convenient bike for those moving around the city, as well as touring the countryside.
