Suzuki Gixxer is good bike to tide. Review on Suzuki Gixxer

Suzuki makes its presence felt in the 150cc segment with a brand new Gixxer. The question is, can this bike live up to its illustrious name? So we did the Suzuki Gixxer Review to find out if it lives up to the reputation of its name.

Drenched to the bone, cursing the weather gods, and the start-stop traffic – all of which was making the mood quite gloomy indeed! Unfortunately, this was how my Suzuki Gixxer ride started. At the risk of sounding cliché, the only silver lining I could think of was the winding road waiting for me as we headed up to the hill town of Lavasa.

This new 155cc bike, or as the Japanese bike-maker refers to it, ‘street sport’ motorcycle, was the centre of attention for most of the passer-by’s on the road. The beautifully sculpted 12-litre tank, with its angular and bold side cladding design, made the Suzuki Gixxer look straight out of a Manga Japanese graphic novel. The dummy tank extensions increased its style quotient further by making it look edgier than any other bike in its class. Being a naked bike, the Suzuki Gixxer has no unnecessary fairings – and the slightly angled, yet perfectly contoured seat, made it appear like a Cheshire cat ready to pounce. At a glance, the saddle looks slightly small but it is very comfortable for the rider. It’s mesmerising even from the rear – the body coloured grab rails, like the ones in the Yamaha R15, are tucked in smartly beside the seat. The icing on the cake comes in the form of the LED tail lamps. But Suzuki’s masterstroke is the dual muffler in chrome – which showcases the sporty heritage of the GSX-R Series. The digital LCD instrument cluster mirrors a smart phone. It comes with two trip modes, a fuel gauge, clock, and even a redline indicator.
