Reviews of Suzuki GS150R

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

About the Reviewer

I googled and refereed through different motoring sites and books respectively to fix this motoring beauty or the beast. It's performance and smooth engine grow is breathtaking. The problem is rusty parts. The motorcycle's power is moderate. Long rides can be done without much weariness. Bike is heavy & difficult to manoeuvre through city traffic and bends and turns. Overall enjoyable riding experience with this pal.

Reasonable price.. I never had yet like this bike smoothness in other one.. It's looks future design.. Handling above 80kmh totally controlled easily.. Low maintenance.. Service centres are available but, issue about spare parts..We had best experience with gs150r expecting gs in bs6 Version hope so manufacturers can here this..

Mine was a 2010 blue black 2nd hand model purchased about 6 months ago. My experience with this machine is awesome butter smooth engine, best comfort on long tours I have ridden about 400km nonstop a day.No regret purchasing a 2nd hand model. Low maintenance, high on comfort, best 150 cc tourer, commuter, sports bike among the other 150 cc bike in India.

I've been using my gs since 2015 and I love it, despite riding it over 79000 kms I still feel comfortable. I thought of replacing my bike after 70000 kms however I couldn't find a suitable replacement for gs. Hope it is relaunched as it would definitely attract a lot of people as there seems to be a vacant space in the 150cc commuter family bike range.

I'm riding this bike since 2013 when I was just a 14-year-old boy that time I don't like the bike even after 2years in 2015or 2016 I sell the bike and brought a thunderbird but after some days riding thunderbird, I realized I was made a mistake why I sold the best machine the gs 150r and then 2nd time I bought this bike this is an ultimate machine in 150cc segment and top speed 138 kph. This bike is smooth like butter.

It cost me 92-93k in 2016, and till now ride run is 50k+, for me, mileage is 49-51 in the city(hyderabad traffic conditions). For me it is a very comfortable ride starting in 1 week I had trouble balancing bcoz of my 5ft height, my average speed in the city 40-70, and on highways 60-90 (the highest for me is 110speed). No significant maintenance cost till now, except for the chain kit and other regular services, satisfied with suzuki gixxer.
