Dear All,
I bought this bike on 22nd Sep’11 from Bhavani Suzuki, Hosur. Bike really looks good(for me only black / blue). When i rode the test drive bike, i felt like riding a car, that much good on comfort and performance. My new bike needs some time to become like that. Any way features and machine performance is good for me comparable to pulsar/yamaha/Honda.
Only dis advantage is bike weight, beauty is not feeling the weight at initial also during riding, only feeling the weight during manual parking.
Anyway personaly I feel good comparing Honda/pulsar/Yamaha in features and performances.
I heared suzuki service centres are not good, I’ll post my servicing experience in the dealers workshop by my next post.
Thank you all.

Hello friends,

i purchased suzuki gs150r last month , bike is really good , i strongly suggest to go to GS150R who are all not intrested in much look and very good pickup in starting ,

at the time of first ride i felt like sitting in extrem height , but stability of the bike is very good in lower speed compare to other bikes even it will give better and comfort riding for short height peoples also, and riding comfort is really good in highways , due to its light heavy weight and lenght i feel slighty difficult to ride in very heavy traffic, pickup is really good in 3,4,5, gears because of its weight 1,2 gear pickup is slightly low compare to Dazzler,pulsar and FZ because of its weight, but in high speed i think GS150R will beat all bikes i reached 121KMPH , and stability and braking of the bike is very good in highways , when i was taking from show room i felt that gear is very harder and rear brake is not so effecient , but now i finished my 500 km gear is butter smooth , but rear break still remains the same, and i am getting millage of 48.3 KMPL i belive that i will get 50+ after first service, and while riding every one feel the smoothness of the bike and reliablity of the engine 6 th gear is really making the engine stress free , even 6 th gear is pickup is very good in 6th gear ,i reduced speed till 28KMPH and i raised the trottle still the bike is having the pickup to pull from 28Km speed with any knoking sound , i got surprised , but it will make serious injury to the engine never try this ,and at 120 KMPH speed i noticed “0″ vibration in the bike finally i am soo happy and 95 satisfied with my Suzuki GS150R,if somebody wants Comfort riding , millage and fine look (commuter style )with all features and good pickup go for GS150R

Advantages
1. Amazing pickup,
2. Quality of the bike is good,
3. Millage is exellent,
4. Stability in low speed and high speed is really good
5 .Fine look,
6. “0″ vibration noticed

Disadvantages
1. Head light would have been better
2. slight heavy while parking
3. rear break would have been better
4. getting slip at wet road ,
5. look would have been better,
6. color choice is limited
above mentioned abservations are made in my point of view in my bike it may vary in other bikes it depend on riding methods

@Sanat…Do u know what “Overdrive” means??? Which is the purpose of the 6th gear in GS. The 6th gear is menat for highway drive not for city (like Bglr) commuting.

This bike is not the best but jack of jell. look wise its boring but look good in orange color only. Though its saddle (seat) height is same as RTR / FZ16 / R15 / but it can best suit to guy who is 5.7 tall. its handle bar are raise high extremely upright. ( pure commuter style. ) Sixth gear is not here for racing but for cruising to make bike smooth and to save patrol. Everyone think with help of sixth gear mileage will improve then its wrong in fact it is same or lesser than pulsar , RTR due to its huge weight 149kg and torque. Unicorn which gives more mileage according to reliable government data check this site ( http://www.siamindia.com/ ) but additional sixth gear and its engine ballancer technology do give smooth ride experience. if one think about its ride quality and pillion comfort then its nice. but it lacks pick up O to 60 km/h mark. I have sit on this bike as pillion many times and felt far better then pulsar150. But this bike back sit is far tall than p150 and RTR160. this bike was suppose to launch four years ago but due to some problem it delayed so its old personality and stupid design is clearly visible in bike. Example have a look on its foot pegs check gear lever its said to be toe type ( well this looks horrible ) passion pro even have better looking foot pegs. No spilt handle bar. Though braking is good of course due to MRF stiky tyrs but front disk brake disk is situated at LEFT side ( I never seen such engineering pls guide someone if anyone know its use:| ) My friend bike handle doesn’t lock to its left side it lock only to right side it looks stupid though ( i still doubt his bike has problem i recommend do check this problem ) i thought that GS150R will be having bigger storage space under seat than pulsar and apache due to its fat ass design but again its wrong its even less than RTR but its seat lock is convenient. Every person has personality and characteristics bike do also have same. choose which one suit to your need ZMR will not suit to girl and scooty will not appeal to boy.

Hello! stability is directly concerned with weight..hunk is the heaviest bike in the 150cc segment n hence most stable bike n abt vibs its totally false..eve if u can ride it @120 without ny vibs..u’ll just feel like flying away 4 others n others vanishes in ur mirror..
