(((((((((( SUZUKI GS 150 )))))))))

Suzuki Motorcycle has launched the all new GS150R in India on the 23rd of October (press release of the launch), it's the latest entrant in the very competitive 150cc segment and brings to the table a fresh look and a new 150cc four stroke engine with six gears (the only motorcycle in India to support it after the Yamaha R15 and RD350).Suzuki GS150R Features:150cc Engine with a new design: The 150cc engine of GS150R has been designed with a focus on acceleration performance in the low-to-mid range speed, which is most important in city riding. This ensures that you always enjoy a smooth, comfortable ride with the new Suzuki GS150R.

Suzuki GS150R is targeted at commuters and not sports enthusiasts. It is more of an all-rounder. I felt if they’d given a mono suspension, then all Unicorn lovers will switch over to this bike for its extras like digital Speedo and 6th gear.The torque is good and you can cruise in 3rd gear in low speeds. The only drawback is its Kerb weight of 149 kgs which is heavier than Unicorn. But the weight can be an advantage while touring and cruising above 100 kph.The digital speedo gives all the information including time and which gear you’re riding as well as there is a light just like in TVS Scooty Pep, which glows if you’re over-riding the desired RPM. There are two modes economy and sports setting and as per your choice the light glows if you’ve crossed the ideal RPM. The tachometer looks excellent.

Sporty Style Headlight: The stunning powerful headlight of GS150R with built-in positioning light is inspired from Suzuki’s international Superbike GSX-R. it has been designed to give GS150R a very distinct look.
LED Tail Lamp & Integrated Rear Turn Signal: The super-sleek, streamlined aerodynamic shaped LED tail lamp and integrated rear turn signals based on the styling of GSX-R takes the style quotient to the next level.Engine balancer technology: In other motorcycles, vibration generated from inside the engine by the vertical motion (inertial force) of the piston and rotating motion (centrifugal force) of the crankshaft, is transmitted through the handlebars, seat and foot pegs to the rider. The engine balancer technology in Suzuki GS150R seeks to minimize such vibration in order to deliver a more comfortable riding experience. Moreover, the balancer system is quipped with balancer-driven gear fitted with a rubber damper for reducing the impact noise generated by its meshing with the balancer-driven- gear.
