A bike of 2 generations.

1 year ago by Ishan451 views

Inherited this beauty of a bike from my dad last year. Suzuki does an amazing job with its bikes. When I got it, it was 100000 km ridden . Since we bought the bike in 2008, apart from issues which can be covered while servicing, there have been no major problems on the bike. The bike was truly ahead of its time when it launched way back in 2008-09, featuring dual horns, trip meters and even riding modes. Even after servicing it now in 2021, it is capable of running like new. The styling of the bike reminds of being a mini hayabusa at heart, and an amazing commuter which still turns heads now. Mileage is still good, though I haven't calculated the exact figures yet, it gives me about 35-45 km/l even after all these years. There was a fuel tank rusting on the inside, but I will be the one to blame for that I guess, since I didn't ride the bike for about 2 months since I got it, in the monsoon season. This was perhaps due to not replacing the fuel tank seals on time. All in all it is a fabulous machine which proves itself time and again even after all these years of use and abuse. It is easy to use and maintain, and does not hurt the pocket so much. I will always recommend it.

I bought suzuki gs 150 r in 2009. Since then I have had to ride my bike regularly I have driven almost 90000 k.M still to date I never found any major problem in servicing and maintenance moreover it gives me a secure and comfortable driving experience and gigantic pickup and awesome mileage.
I should always like to keep my gs 150 r as the finest bike I have ever ridden and recommend Suzuki to relaunch gs 150 r with new updated features. Hope in the coming days Suzuki will bring it new avatar as the new gs150 r in the Indian market. All the very best suzuki team.

Very smooth at the same time powerful.
Take the pickup from 40 to 122 kmph in top gear milage in n eco mode 60kmpland power mode 50kmpl
Suzuki must relaunch this bike in fi will get good sales
pros
Discussed by more cons headlight and rear brake. Those are fixed with LEDs and improved rear brakes by samurai liners. Using iridium plug and Motul synthetic engine oil now the bike competes with any bike of the latest new bikes but as a 2009 model. Capable off roads at an ease.

The complete bike indeed!
Buying experience was amazing. Its looks attracted me and immediately i rushed to the showroom during 2015 and booked the same. As far as riding experience is concerned, it is excellent. Its six gear ratio is very useful for city as well as in highways. Servicing is not at all an issue in Chennai city. Still I maintained the bike with servicing at showrooms only. Mileage is good. Pick up is also good. Its instrument cluster is marvelous. Yes it has gear shift indicator, fuel indicator, tachometer, clock and power and economic mode. To say in a simple sentence, it is a complete bike. Suzuki should not have discontinued this bike. I love it very much

Every thing is good about this bike. I am traveling with bike for more than 10 years. I have driven 120000 kms and I am happy about this bike. Mileage is 60kms (45 to 50 speed) Service and spares are not good in Suzuki dealership. It is not available most of the times. Best stability vehicle. Very smooth engine. Maintenance also is very low. Change engine oil every 2000 kms.

5Most under rated legend betrayed by their own in-service centers. 11 months ago by Sam

Buying: i bought it in chennai swapna motors(not available anymore). It was awesome, good service and technicians were awesome.
Riding: this is still an awesome machine, a forgotten or most underrated legend in its class. I have had the mechanic tune it for performance and i was able to clock 123 kmph. When i restored to the factory tune, riding by the road norms i got close to 60kmpl, which is still great for any bike in its class. Till date(2021) i never experienced a gearshift so precise and smooth on many other bikes. I have done 280kms on a one-side with one pitstop and it never ran out of power or felt breathless. I would still get one if suzuki launches again.
I love the simple styling or rather elegance. For city ride and occasional touring, it should be an awesome machine. I still do not feel like switching the bike, i have tried many bikes to replace my requirement. Nah, nothing close to this in all rounder vfm.
So being a new brand(2009), just separated from tvs partnership, most people were concerned about the reliability of the gs150r. Well, what good are you, if you don't trust your instincts. Servicing is comparatively affordable by most other competitors, also the spare parts were at least available on demand, if not readily available. I have to say if the company or the showrooms gave up on it too soon. The service was good till 2010, and later it became like giving set of tools to a kid to screw your bike at your own cost. I almost died twice right after service of engine choking up(engine stalling) middle of high speed runs in highways. Now i can relate why people gripe about slipper clutch, which does not lock up the rear just like mine did.
Pros:
1. 6gears
2. Silky smooth gear box
3. Buttery smooth engine
4. Nice choice of wheels
5. Seat can take you distances with out stepping off it
6. Crispy exhaust note, singing in your ears.
7. Gear position indicator and the modes, eco and power
Cons:
1. Attitude of service/company
2. Rear brakes, considering its time, it was not as bad as compared to some of them in 2021
3. If they had released a fi version, it would be a killer, which they failed to look around, hero glamour got its fi back then
