Say hello to the GSX-R150 and GSX-S150.

Design inspirations can also be traced to the new GSX R1000 for the faired (and GSX R125), while the naked can be traced back to GSX-S1000.

That’s not all, Suzuki has also kept the weight under check. The faired GSX-R150 has a dry weight of just 126 kg while the GSX-S150 weighs 127 kg (dry).
