Styled with inspiration from Suzuki’s international superbike GSX-R, GS150R is a mean looking machine. The bikini fairing, pilot lamps mounted on either side of wolf eyed headlamps is not exciting but looks pleasing. But the real attraction is the rear part of the GS150R. Stunning integrated LED tail lamp cluster also houses turn indicators on both sides.which is again an GSX-R inspired.
GS150R is powered a engine which respires through BS26 carburettor (NO Fuel Injection or FI). The engine also gets TPS (Throttle positioning Sensor). Suzuki says GS150R engine is tuned to ride better for city riding. The 150cc engine is designed to with an acceleration performance in the low to mid range speed which is important for city driving. GS150R engine is equipped with engine balancer technology. According to Suzuki, engine balancer technology of GS150R which seeks to minimise vibration usually associated with the vibration. GS150R balancer system is fitted with balancer-driven gear fitted with a rubber damper for reducing the impact noises generated by its meshing with the balancer-driven gear.
GS150R 149cc engine develops 13.8bhp of peak power at 8500rpm and 13.4Nm of peak torque 6000rpm. is mated with a six speed transmission. Gear shift pattern is 1-down and 5-up. According to Suzuki, GS150R will return a mileage of 50kmpl in City and 55kmpl in Highway 60kmpl in City and 65kmpl in Highway.

The GSX-R inspired engine rpm indicator glows to give an indication to the rider about the optimum up-shift timings. Eco and power modes of GS150R functions to cater to wide range of speeds and riding conditions. The digital console also indicates the which gear is selected.

Please guys…
@Sudhir and @Sidharth… Please DON’T come to any conclusion about the looks, engine, etc., of the bike just by seeing photos and specs. Take a test drive and post comments.
fucCCk…bike suzuki is a copycat…cheating indians!
YAMAHA RockKss… “FZ 16″ Modern design & Smooth Performance
poda soripudicha monna naaye…………. your fucking fz wont go smooth after 85 but suzuki ill do it
Hey, Just test ride once and speak,, you say F_ _K 2 FZ
this’s a cool ride and i luv it
i would buy one soon
Everything is fine. But the power given bike for its heavy weight is not enough. I think the top speed will be lvery less and takes more time to touch top speed especially on doubles. 105 to 107 would be the top speed.
Could be equipped more spped atleast 14.4 as in Pulsar and CBZ Xtreme ATFT.
But built wise it is good. But doesn’t match the built quality of Unicorn.
Headlight – Pulsar
Rearlight – CBZ Extreme
Body style – Honda Unicorn
Speedometer – TVS Apache.
Pathetic.
All those idiots who dont like Suzuki or dont understand how to grade a bike……..Please SHUT YOUR BLOODY STUPID MOUTHS…….brainless maggots.
it is not pathetic,all others copied suzuki gsx1000,why should giant like suzuki copy this rubbish brands like tvs and bajaj.if you see yamaha fz and bmw naked it is similar in many ways.
What about the power-to-weight ratio? This is bike is again too heavy for a 150 cc, just like pulsar. Also, 6 gears. Why do you need 6 gears in India? You cant even use 5 gears in Indian cities. Suzuki has got to make the bike lighter. The Fz16 and Apache are much lighter but still have 150 cc and 160 cc engines respectively. Power-to-weight ratio. That is the key to mileage and pickup.
Why dont you buy yourself a BICYCLE, it is light and gives you plenty of mileage. Fool, start understanding the technology behind a bike rather than running your mouth like a donkey.
superb designing looks very exciting? i am interested in the price.
Hi all,
I got my GS 150 on wednesday, it is amazing!
Good Pick up, smooth riding, smooth gears. in bangalore onroad price is 68,331/-.
hi friends
i took test ride today,it waz awesome…. coool, i may book it sooooon
nothing different in SUZUKI’s GSR150 look yaaaar
are ye to pura ka pura kichri(mixed) hai. is ka body hona shine ki tarah,tail lamp cbz xtreme ki tarah,speedo meter tvs apache ki taraha, aur head lighit pulser 2nd model 150 ki taraha. pura kapura copy hai. lekin is ka khas bat hai.woh hai is ka gear system. i have pulsar 220 and a cbzcbz xtreme which has only 5 gear. but it has 6 seep gear box.but i have a doubt.wht is the max speed of this bike?????? have any friends who ans my question correctly???????????????
Hey it has two wheels as other bikes have ….Suzuki copied that too………. start loving Technology then u will realize quality and performance……
Hey ,Aap ko bikes ke bare main kuch bi malum hai kaya ? Your r trying to say suzuki copied all these companys try to first find about suzuki before opning your mouth ,And ur talking about tvs ,hero hond,pulsar which are only in india ,try to do a research before even u can comment and there is no answer for silly question
Come on yaar,
Dont compare a great bike to small chota bikes. Nothing is a copy.
Speedo is a copy of apache???(Can u beat it) u kno where tachometer comes in apache?
Head light isnt like pulsar dude its like GSZ-1000(search in google images)
Body like shine?Are u insane?
As of now, i ve covered 1300kms n top speed is 118
Mileage is 55-60
Amazing pick-up
Good looks(Nt great though)
U CAN NEVER COMPARE ANY OTHER BIKE TO THIS
but tell us clearly in how many days it will delivered to the customer after giving advance……..
Comparing with RTR? Haa haa
.. U r comparing the combination of copy bike GS150R with Apache RTR…? Nice joke..
i want to purchase this bike tell me who’s colour best any why.and gs 150r is better than apache rtr.plz mail me sudhirkumarfirst@gmail.com
hi sudhir.
it have greater advantages than Apache RTR one is its engine,Suzuki is one of the two wheeler giants tvs was only its collaborator in India .it have advantage of throttle position sensor in its mileage,engine stabilizer in long journey,in look also apache have not much attractive.in tamil nadu TVS has good name i dont know the reason,here kerala TVS have less market.
Apache RTR Fi is comparing with Karizma, P220, R15. The performance is like that. That’s y I told.
I know very well about Suzuki … “Suzuki Shogun” I like more than my RX100 and RTR Fi I can’t forgot that bike. I don’t know how many of them feel that bike this much. 110cc 14 bhp.. No chance RX100 should beg in front of this bike.
But GS150R is not upto that mark.. Look and performance nothing. This bike look like 2003 model Pulsar. Have to develop lot..
Hi mansoor
thanks mansoor tell me what is your think who’s bike purchase.suzuki or apache.
hi sudhir,
i will defenitely buy suzuki gs 150 r.Here apache havent a satifactory comment my friend have apache.it will vibrate above 80kmph.im going to purchase a GS because im a user of suzuki samrai from 2002.even it two stroke it have better efficiency than others.Suzuki have lot of experience in the field than TVS.Suzuki gs have good value for money.it is lot of features copared to unicorn and apache.also well refined engine.ultra smooth according to my friends comment.better you buy GS 150 r.

Pular – old looks and has digital speedo and good pickup, but too heavy bike and rough engine.
Apache – good style, sporty, digital speedo, lighter, highest power-to-weight ratio, good pickup, but rough engine
Unicorn – smooth engine and monoshock, but no looks, no digital speedo
fz16 – monoshock and looks only. only hyped. Engine lacks power.
hunk/cbz – no durable. bad shockabsorbers. Bad looks.
gs150 – good looks, smooth engine, digital speedo. Though heavy like pular, but well balanced. Best 150 cc bike at present.

AWESOME BIKE!!!!!!!!
And for the guys who complain, please take up a test drive and then comment!!!
This bike is heavy, but the weight is perfectly balanced than any other bikes in our market. It cannot be compared with RTR.
RTR —> raw power only.
GS150R —> decent power, looks, built quality..
People who want more comfort, better milage can opt this one.
I had a test drive last week..
Narrowed my selection to rtr(which was my favorite since the launch date) and gs150r…
But this time, i somehow felt gs150r was much comfortable then the short rtr..
I clocked 104kmph and it had absolutely no vibrations at all.. I didn’t feel that it crossed 100 until i looked at the speedo…
Finally booked one today from ABT Suzuki 2day..
Once more, its not fair to discourage this bike without a proper test drive..
Man awesome bike !
No Comparisons !
Simply Gr8 !
Best 150 cc Indian bike !
Wat else do ya Wann !
GS 150 R ..IT S A GOOD BIKE WITH ALL SUZUKI GAIN AND PAIN…
REG PAIN IT HAS ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE LIKE ALL SUZUKI (IND/TVS) RANGES.
SMOOTHNESS IS REALLY GOOD IN MY TEST DRIVE I I NOTED THE ABSENCE OF MONO SHOCK.ENGINE BALANCE TECHNOLOGY IS REALLY KOOOOL.ITS GIVES NO VIBRATIONS AT ALL.SELF START IS NOT SMOOTH AS UNICORN.ENGINE SOUNDS SIMILAR TO UNICORN BUT THERE IS SOME DIFFERENCE.DIGITAL SPEEDO WITH POWER AND ECNO MODE IS WONDERFUL.THX TO 6 GEAR INDICATION IN METER CONSOLE AND TRIP 1 AND 2 WITH A DIGITAL CLOCK LIKE IN LUXURY CARS..
ANY WAY AS I PREFER GO FOR NEW UNICORN OTHER THAN THIS UNPROVED ,ENGINE AND LESS RESALE VALUE.
THX & REGARDS
TEST DRIVE DATE 17-04-09

hi guys i booked ths bike my problem is wheteher i shud go with this bike or else unicorn wich is quite famous but according to me suzuki also gud & as this bike is new we cant tell whether it will be hit or flop what u peple will tell plzz reply soon
waiting 4 reply
Hi Everybody,
I have taken this bike 2 months back and riding it its quite gud when u r speeding more than 65. no vibration at all u feel like u r riding at 50 only at the speed of 70 but i faced problem with self start from the begining and now it stopped working completely.
about milage before 1st service 45-50 after 1st service not checked it.
I am already riding Suzuki Fiero, the original make of Suzuki (not tvs), I really love the engine sound of fiero. It was a perfect blend of power and mileage. Initially i was getting around 65 from Fiero. Now sound and even mileage is worst though beacuse i had drove for about one lakh and around 30k kms, yes it’s true. If suzuki can have a great model like Fiero i am sure 150r would be greater than mine because it is coming with 6 gear, nitrox suspension and with beautiful console, not like other bajaj and tvs consols which like a wrist watch. I have taken a few rides of 150R, its amazing but engine sound is where it lacks not as good as its older bikes.
Is there anybody who is driving this bike and already getting a mileage of 60?????
Hi, I bought GS150R about 3 months back. I am getting 58kmpl(35% city + 65% highway) consistantly. The engine and the gear box are becoming smoother and smoother after each ride. Initially, there was some unpleasant sound from the engine beyond 5500rpm. Now the engine sound remains unchanged, even after 95 kmphr. Two things I miss in GS150R are the mono suspension and the tubeless tyres.
@JAS ARORA :
Well ,suzuki Fiero is materialized due to TVS’s R&D As well.Suzuki’s 150R is not a competitor for current breed of 150/160cc bikes available in India.
I had My Suzuki Fiero bought on 2002.
all the statements above suggest that gs150 is a loser but no it is completely wrong. You can never compare the fz with gs as it is tad rs6000 costlier. Moreover in straights the gs can easily outrun the hunk,cbz,unicorn and can run close to pulsars with a speed of 118 in power mode which i achieved in NH24 with my two friends in the hunk and cbz followed by the unicorn. Though it was unable to compete with the fz(having 4-6 kms more speed).But it overwhelms it with 50-55 kms as mileage in city. Also fz can get very uncomfortablein long rides especially with a pillion thanks to its mini rear seat. And apache can really test your nerves you with the vibrations produced in higher revs. On the other hand u will hardly find any vibrations on the gs at even speeds of 80-85 and it can bring smile on your face with the strong mid range making overtakink a walk in the park.
Only buy the apache if you want power and dont expect anything more from this fuddu bike because though it has the fi it can hardly give you 50 as highway mileage. and in my opinion it has a very ugly head light and its vibrations can make even charlie chaplin irritated. Also in my point of view people love the style of fz not because it is beautiful but because it is unique and naked.
Yes, I am geting a milage of 60-60 kmpl.Engine sound is redusing day by day and machine is becoming very smooth. But no sudden pickup.However , package is good.
Suzukk 150gsr are veerry coollllllll bike
GS150R’s fuel tank is rusted and some other parts too.
The mouth of the tank, where it holds(takes) the PETROL. I could not inspect the tank’s inside from outside.
How did they go for such a POOR tank?
Won’t the rust-mixed-petrol spoil the ENGINE(acclaimed).
The dealer is not listening and under warranty Loathes to give me a new one.
It is a GREAT SHOCK for me and my cousin who has taken a GS150R on my recommendation.
Whats your suggestion? Remedy?
SUZUKI M-India should commence a THOROUGH QUALITY CONTROL audit of its parts.
It should Go only for GOOD and lasting components.
Won’t such issues malign GS-150R’s reputation with spurious / nil-quality parts.
Go for fuel economy vehicles save petrol save India……. GS 150 is really give smileage of 125 and slightly less compared to 100 cc engines ….but satisfies requirements of youths like power of 150 cc engine……Reliability—- name itself SUZUKI Japan make…..
