Reviews of Suzuki Gixxer SF

The look of this bike is excellent. It looks like a high-speed superbike. Riding is very convenient. I see no cons in this bike.It also has good power. Maintenance is also good. It looks very handsome. Performance is better than I thought People on YouTube compare this bike with Yamaha R15. Even if we compare. Definitely, the Gixxer SF is the best bike.

About the Reviewer

I bought a Suzuki Gixxer SF 155 back in 2020 October, it still looks like a sports bike. The position of sitting is quite comfortable for me i am 5’11 ft. I’ve ridden this bike for around 24k km now, and as I am sharing my personal riding experience it’s good for city roads as well as for highways. The looks you get in Gixxer SF are sporty. Servicing and maintenance are budget friendly as it is 155 bikes normal 10-20k earner can afford to ride on a daily basis. The mileage, in a day I rode it for 650kms Mumbai - Nashik - mid-Aurangabad- Mumbai, I got a mileage of around 50kmpl. The quality of fiber parts is quiet disappointing.

About the Reviewer

The buying experience was good, it was hassle-free and the finance team was very helpful.
It is very comfortable to ride. After this the engine noise lasts for 15 km, it is an attractive bike, on average but a bit of a worry if you want to commute daily to the office. I liked the look and power of the bike. Recommended for those who love speed.

About the Reviewer

I own a 2018 Gixxer SF Moto GP edition and so far it has been a great ride both for mediocre commutes as well as long tours, the 155 cc engine is not super powerful but is enough for highways the top speed I have recorded is 130kmph which is okay considering I won't be racing it on a normal highway for the safety of myself and others too power delivery is almost linear, other else everything is good.

About the Reviewer

It was gifted by my dad on my birthday in 2021. So, it was bought in apple suzuki showroom, outer ring road, banashankari 3rd stage, Bengaluru.
Talking about the riding experience, riding this from past 6-7 months have given me immense joy and i am impressed with the power of the bike. In Bengaluru city you can ride maximum up-to 40-60 km/hr. (if the road is empty and smooth). It also gives a good mileage of 40-45 km/l. All other /aspects while riding is good.
I liked the sporty look of the bike, having 155cc, it is gives a good performance. I have the bike in black and it gives a separate look as compared to other colours.

About the Reviewer

It was a great experience buying this bike. It's too comfortable for riding in city and in highway also. Whenever you go around the urban areas all people will give a glance at this bike for its detailed look which is really a compact design overall. If i say about the engine performance then I will directly say once and for all that this bike will give you a good budget sports bike vibe with it's good mileage.
All suzuki bikes are easy to give proper servicing and maintenance in a good price. So without any tension this time saving maintenance service will give anyone a great road trip within their schedule. But I really feel as a con this bike should had have 6 speed gear box and overall this is a packed machine for all kinds of buyers.

About the Reviewer

1. Buying experience
when I was planning to get this bike I had options like r15 and apache rtr 2004v . So I went to the showroom of both the tvs and yamaha . Took the test ride of both. Comfort in r15 was not as I expected it to be. On the other hand apache was comfortable but certainly not as refined as other japanese bikes. So I booked the bike without any doubt my top priority was comfort and refinement.
2. Riding experience
You can feel a bit of vibration at the higher rpm's but you know we don't need to ride on higher rpm's on the Indian roads. It's not a deal-breaker. The riding experience was smooth, refined, and gives you sufficient power to glide through the traffic.
3. Looks of this motorcycle
Looks are totally subjective and I can say I found gixxer sf 150 more eye-catchy and appealing than its rivals. Why? because it's unique in its segment you won't see people on gixxer everywhere since they are just looking for power and more torque. The headlights are mean and aggressive and yet it's comfortable to ride
4. Servicing and maintenance
In this part, I rather say it costs a bit more as compared to our own Indian brands but it's worth every penny. And maintenance is not an everyday task if you genuinely care about your vehicle then you'll eventually take care of her no doubt that. It's easy to maintain in the end.
5 . Pros :
1. It has a big muscular aggressive profile
2. Gives you mileage around 40-45 in city commuting
3. Refinement level is top-notch
4. Unique because only practical buyers buy the gixxer sf 150
5. It has a gear position indicator ( i know it's a normal thing but come on some companies still don't know how to give that)
Cons :
1. It is slightly underpowered
2. Switch quality needs improvement
3. Gears are pretty hard and clutch too I don't know if it's only my unit but it feels hard wasn't expecting that from suzuki need a big upgrade on that
4. Faced some rusting issues in the inner parts after driving 5000 km
Conclusion:
if you are looking for a practical 150cc bike that is fully faired gives you a vibe of a faired motorcycle and needs the smoothness of Japanese engine then this one is for you. Just keep in mind the points that I've mentioned in my review. Thank you, ride safe

About the Reviewer

Best engine bike in this segment.
Most important thing is it's smoothness.
I ride this bike for long route too for almost 500 km in one day.
Not a single issue face in my whole journey.
Thanks to suzuki
Only cons is that bike must have both abs.
Service cost is also reasonable.
This bike is totally head turner
Awesome in look and easy to operate in heavy traffic too

About the Reviewer

Both gixxer sf 155/250 is so underrated. I own a gixxer sf 155 and have ridden about 1500 km so far, this is what I felt about this bike.
Quality:
The build quality is pretty good, aerodynamics are at their best, the headlights are the best in the segment you won’t need custom lights, provides excellent reach and visibility even in pitch dark conditions.
Engine:
Performance is pretty average. Low-end punch is not there, top-end lags but mid-range performance is good. It’s not a peppy engine it’s more like a refined smooth engine. I did a top speed of 124, with a pillion 119.
Seating comfort and handling:
The seating posture is brilliant because it’s not too sporty, not upright, it’s well set. Pillion comfort is poor because the pillion seat is a bit taller set and it’s hard(caused butt aches). Handling is top-notch in this bike. Cornering abilities are decent.
Mileage:
(getting a mileage is subjective)
City:40-47 (my avg:44)
Highway:45-52 (my avg:49)
Braking:
The brakes are so good, the single-channel abs do their job pretty well. The rear brake is decent.
Cons:
• it’s a bit expensive for what it offers. Lacks power (13.6ps only).
• misses both sides stand indicator and sensor.
• pillion comfort is poor. The gearbox is a bit hard (should wear shoes or loafers instead of chappals).
• visor is way too small(i changed mine in the aftermarket).Slight heating in heavy traffic conditions.
• resale value is lower than other bikes in this segment.
Pros:
• looks stunning absolutely eye-catchy.
• quality levels are pretty good (never faced oil leak, sound from the fairing and other parts).
• the engine is butter smooth.
• great fuel efficiency. (always returns me a 45km per litre)
• handling is so good. Provides so much comfort for the rider(not for the pillion).
• flicking around traffic, taking a u-turn, and cruising at 70-85 km on highways were not a problem on this bike.
• aerodynamics is impressive (even though there are slight heating issues, it cools down very well by sucking the air from the gaps between fairing and sending it through over the engine).
• headlight looks cool and also has a widespread and provides excellent visibility(even at pitch dark).
Verdict (my experience)
I wanted a motorcycle under 1.5 lakhs. I don’t want to go over 160 cc because I wanted a good mileage. I wanted a bike that offers a decent performance with good build quality.
These are the bikes in the budget that i considered and took a test drive and this is what i felt:
1. Hero Xtreme 160
2. Pulsar ns 160
3. Apache 160 4v
4. Suzuki gixxer sf
Hero xtreme 160 is the cost lot lesser out of the 4 I mentioned by a big margin. Performance is good. All led setup is eye-catchy. Quality is not good. The seat setup is poor and the pillion seat is the worst. My friends suggested not to buy this because it might get some issues in the future.
Ns160 is a beast without a doubt it offers great performance and has an oil cooler at this price point which is amazing. Ns always have poor quality parts throughout which causes oil leaks, and rattling sounds from some parts (including the tank region). It is outdated.
Apache 160 4v comes with a lot of features and has an excellent performance. I am not a fan of its look and design but apparently, it offers everything that I asked for in a 160 cc bike. I am a tall person (6 feet) the only problem i had with this bike is that apache is suited for short and average riders. The legroom near the tank is very limited so i have to fold my legs hard which makes me uncomfortable to ride in the first place.
Gixxer sf surprisingly suited my character and met my expectation so i bought it.

I liked the sporty look of the bike, having 155cc, it is gives a good performance. I have the bike in black and it gives a separate look as compared to other colours.

About the Reviewer

It was a great experience buying this bike. It's too comfortable for riding in city and in highway also. Whenever you go around the urban areas all people will give a glance at this bike for its detailed look which is really a compact design overall. If i say about the engine performance then I will directly say once and for all that this bike will give you a good budget sports bike vibe with it's good mileage.
All suzuki bikes are easy to give proper servicing and maintenance in a good price. So without any tension this time saving maintenance service will give anyone a great road trip within their schedule. But I really feel as a con this bike should had have 6 speed gear box and overall this is a packed machine for all kinds of buyers.

1. Buying experience
when I was planning to get this bike I had options like r15 and apache rtr 2004v . So I went to the showroom of both the tvs and yamaha . Took the test ride of both. Comfort in r15 was not as I expected it to be. On the other hand apache was comfortable but certainly not as refined as other japanese bikes. So I booked the bike without any doubt my top priority was comfort and refinement.
2. Riding experience
You can feel a bit of vibration at the higher rpm's but you know we don't need to ride on higher rpm's on the Indian roads. It's not a deal-breaker. The riding experience was smooth, refined, and gives you sufficient power to glide through the traffic.
3. Looks of this motorcycle
Looks are totally subjective and I can say I found gixxer sf 150 more eye-catchy and appealing than its rivals. Why? because it's unique in its segment you won't see people on gixxer everywhere since they are just looking for power and more torque. The headlights are mean and aggressive and yet it's comfortable to ride
4. Servicing and maintenance
In this part, I rather say it costs a bit more as compared to our own Indian brands but it's worth every penny. And maintenance is not an everyday task if you genuinely care about your vehicle then you'll eventually take care of her no doubt that. It's easy to maintain in the end.
5 . Pros :
1. It has a big muscular aggressive profile
2. Gives you mileage around 40-45 in city commuting
3. Refinement level is top-notch
4. Unique because only practical buyers buy the gixxer sf 150
5. It has a gear position indicator ( i know it's a normal thing but come on some companies still don't know how to give that)
Cons :
1. It is slightly underpowered
2. Switch quality needs improvement
3. Gears are pretty hard and clutch too I don't know if it's only my unit but it feels hard wasn't expecting that from suzuki need a big upgrade on that
4. Faced some rusting issues in the inner parts after driving 5000 km
Conclusion:
if you are looking for a practical 150cc bike that is fully faired gives you a vibe of a faired motorcycle and needs the smoothness of Japanese engine then this one is for you. Just keep in mind the points that I've mentioned in my review. Thank you, ride safe

Best engine bike in this segment.
Most important thing is it's smoothness.
I ride this bike for long route too for almost 500 km in one day.
Not a single issue face in my whole journey.
Thanks to suzuki
Only cons is that bike must have both abs.
Service cost is also reasonable.
This bike is totally head turner
Awesome in look and easy to operate in heavy traffic too

About the Reviewer

Both gixxer sf 155/250 is so underrated. I own a gixxer sf 155 and have ridden about 1500 km so far, this is what I felt about this bike.
Quality:
The build quality is pretty good, aerodynamics are at their best, the headlights are the best in the segment you won’t need custom lights, provides excellent reach and visibility even in pitch dark conditions.
Engine:
Performance is pretty average. Low-end punch is not there, top-end lags but mid-range performance is good. It’s not a peppy engine it’s more like a refined smooth engine. I did a top speed of 124, with a pillion 119.
Seating comfort and handling:
The seating posture is brilliant because it’s not too sporty, not upright, it’s well set. Pillion comfort is poor because the pillion seat is a bit taller set and it’s hard(caused butt aches). Handling is top-notch in this bike. Cornering abilities are decent.
Mileage:
(getting a mileage is subjective)
City:40-47 (my avg:44)
Highway:45-52 (my avg:49)
Braking:
The brakes are so good, the single-channel abs do their job pretty well. The rear brake is decent.
Cons:
• it’s a bit expensive for what it offers. Lacks power (13.6ps only).
• misses both sides stand indicator and sensor.
• pillion comfort is poor. The gearbox is a bit hard (should wear shoes or loafers instead of chappals).
• visor is way too small(i changed mine in the aftermarket).Slight heating in heavy traffic conditions.
• resale value is lower than other bikes in this segment.
Pros:
• looks stunning absolutely eye-catchy.
• quality levels are pretty good (never faced oil leak, sound from the fairing and other parts).
• the engine is butter smooth.
• great fuel efficiency. (always returns me a 45km per litre)
• handling is so good. Provides so much comfort for the rider(not for the pillion).
• flicking around traffic, taking a u-turn, and cruising at 70-85 km on highways were not a problem on this bike.
• aerodynamics is impressive (even though there are slight heating issues, it cools down very well by sucking the air from the gaps between fairing and sending it through over the engine).
• headlight looks cool and also has a widespread and provides excellent visibility(even at pitch dark).
Verdict (my experience)
I wanted a motorcycle under 1.5 lakhs. I don’t want to go over 160 cc because I wanted a good mileage. I wanted a bike that offers a decent performance with good build quality.
These are the bikes in the budget that i considered and took a test drive and this is what i felt:
1. Hero Xtreme 160
2. Pulsar ns 160
3. Apache 160 4v
4. Suzuki gixxer sf
Hero xtreme 160 is the cost lot lesser out of the 4 I mentioned by a big margin. Performance is good. All led setup is eye-catchy. Quality is not good. The seat setup is poor and the pillion seat is the worst. My friends suggested not to buy this because it might get some issues in the future.
Ns160 is a beast without a doubt it offers great performance and has an oil cooler at this price point which is amazing. Ns always have poor quality parts throughout which causes oil leaks, and rattling sounds from some parts (including the tank region). It is outdated.
Apache 160 4v comes with a lot of features and has an excellent performance. I am not a fan of its look and design but apparently, it offers everything that I asked for in a 160 cc bike. I am a tall person (6 feet) the only problem i had with this bike is that apache is suited for short and average riders. The legroom near the tank is very limited so i have to fold my legs hard which makes me uncomfortable to ride in the first place.
Gixxer sf surprisingly suited my character and met my expectation so i bought it.
