Ive been riding GS 150R since April 2012. I can guarantee that no other bike within 150 cc segment can compete with its pick-up and mileage. I live in Dehradun and have been to Mussoorie on my GS 150 R many a times and this is where its power is tested.
The pickup, acceleration and mileage even on elevation is quite incredible. Only drawback of the bike is a little uncomfortable seat which can tire you out during long rides. It gives a mileage of around 55 kms/ltr in local conditions (mind you Dehraduns roads are now too crowded) and can reach 0-60 kms in 4 seconds.
