There is little denying the fact that we have not seen a better looking motorcycle than the Suzuki Gixxer in the 150cc segment. When it was launched a few months ago in India, we at autoX couldn't wait to see it in flesh and blood and to ride it to know if it was as good to ride as it looked. So when we got the chance to do our Suzuki Gixxer Review, we had no other option than to jump from our seats with sheer excitement.
One look at the Gixxer and you know it has been designed or made with extreme love and good sense of purpose. The 12-litre fuel tank has been so neatly sculpted that it looks straight out of a transformer movie. The bike has no unnecessary fairings, the seat just gels well with the design and doesn't hurt the eye, body coloured grab rails and the LED tail lamps make sure it looks much edgier than the competition. And if this was not enough for us, just one look at the muffler of the motorcycle during our Suzuki Gixxer Review removed all our doubts. The 1-2 exhaust makes it look not only sporty but also like a piece of art.
The 155cc engine delivered a very usable and linear 14.5bhp of maximum power during our Suzuki Gixxer Review and was as refined as you can expect from any other motorcycle arriving from the 'Land of the Rising Sun'. To make sure that the styling doesn't make you sell your kidney, Suzuki claims that the bike will deliver a fuel-efficiency of 63.5km/l which should be over 55km/l in the real world scenarios.
The rear end of the bike looks really beefier than others and the wide tyre complements the overall look of the motorcycle. The digital LCD instrument cluster looks more like a smartphone and has two trip modes, a fuel gauge, clock, and even a redline indicator.
The bike is simply more than what you can ask for. The agility lets you throw it in a corner and take your knee out a little, the fuel efficiency is good enough to keep smiles plastered on your face, the styling is good enough to make heads turn on a traffic signal. The bike goes over 118km/h mark and the sound it makes at those rpms is nothing but music to the ears. With that price tag, we don't see any reason why it won't find good a number of houses to live in, in the time to come.
