The demand for bikes has been on the rise for a couple of years now, especially among young professionals and university students as it's becoming increasingly difficult to reach work or class on time on traditional modes of transportation.
Today we will talk about one of the most popular bikes among enthusiasts, Suzuki GSX-R150.
The Indonesian made Suzuki is offering the model in different variants—the dual-ABS version will set you back around Tk379,950 and the non ABS will cost you a little less, around Tk330,000.
The pricing is trickier as the 100-year limited edition will cost you a little more around Tk395,000 and there is also a Thai version, which costs slightly more than the Indonesian variant.
Suzuki is the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer and the GSX-R150 is completely dominating the 150cc segment. It was debuted in Indonesia and signified the brand's return to the Asian markets. It is more powerful than the Yamaha R15, and it also has a more aggressive and unique stylish appearance.
This bike also features a responsive engine that generates ample power and ensures the smooth transmission of gears to enhance the ride quality.
The Suzuki is more fuel-efficient than most bikes in the segment while also being as powerful as the most powerful bikes in its segment.
A 147 CC single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a maximum output of 19 horsepower at 11,000 rpm and a peak torque of 14 Nm at 8500 rpm powers the GSX-R150.
The engine’s size makes it difficult to achieve a high torque figure, but according to the company claim, the bike should get around 32kmpl.
Although the Suzuki GSX R150 and GSX S150 have an implicit formation, it uses the same engine. GSX R150 has more Sporty Look and modern facilities than GSX S150
This engine is paired with a six-speed transmission that delivers a combined certified mileage of 49 kilometres per litre.
It has a kerb weight of 131 kg and delivers outstanding performance for its weight.
Disc brakes are used on both the front and rear ends of the bike to improve braking performance. The absence of ABS, on the other hand, is a disappointment. The suspension consists of Telescopic forks in the front and a monoshock on the back.
The bike offers the best power-to-weight ratio and acceleration in its class, according to Suzuki.
The narrow tires are the only thing that breaks the sporty masquerade. Because of this uncanny likeness, the GSX-R150 has the appearance of a genuine sport bike.
With a 785mm seat, the Suzuki GSX-R150 is a short bike. This bike is best suited to riders who are at least 5'4′′ tall. It also has a small back and a narrow back portion. The bike's fuel tank holds 11 litres, so it won't provide you with the longest range and won't be suitable for long rides.
Other features include LED headlamps and a keyless ignition system, as well as a multi-functional LCD instrumental panel.
