The Suzuki Gixxer SF Fi is the top of the line motorcycle in the Gixxer range of premium commuter bikes. Powered by a fuel-injected version of the 155cc engine, the Gixxer SF Fi is aimed at the youth looking for a stylish and technologically advanced commuter bike.
The Suzuki Gixxer SF Fi retains the sculpted fuel tank and the rear panels from the naked Gixxer, though it now gets a full-sized fairing. Styled to resemble the bigger GSX-R superbikes, the fairing has been aerodynamically shaped to improve the motorcycles touring capabilities. The aggressive riding position, fat tyres and the stubby exhaust give it a sporty character.
The Suzuki Gixxer SF Fi is built on the single downtube frame. It is powered by the same 155cc single-cylinder engine that is used in the rest of the Gixxer range, though the fuelling is now taken care of by an electronic fuel injection system. The Gixxer SF Fi gets the same power output as its carburetted sibling 14.6bhp and 14Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a five-speed transmission
10k more than standard, 6k more than rear disc variant. Single channel ABS. Suzukis latest entrant to the 150cc arena is this, the Gixxer. It has spawned a fully-faired version and even a cruiser, but the naked is the original version. It replaced the GS150R and still remains one of the best 150cc motorcycles to buy today. The Gixxer is powered by a 155cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that generates 14bhp and 14Nm which neither the least nor the most in the class. A five-speed transmission has replaced the GS150Rs six-speed box. The Gixxer has a disc brake at both ends. Single-channel ABS is also now an option, although it is a Rs 6000 upgrade over the regular Gixxer. The instrument cluster is an all-digital one that matches the best in class in terms of information displayed. The shift light is programmable. You can have the Gixxer in a total of five different paint schemes, two of which are dual-tone schemes. There is also special edition model called the Gixxer SP. It has new graphics, a maroon coloured seat and a clear lens LED tail lamp. The SP model is only available in one colour scheme which is a combination of matt grey and gloss black.
The Suzuki Gixxer SF is a fully-faired premium commuter motorcycle, which is based on the Gixxer naked motorcycle. It is targeted at a young audience looking for a stylish commuter motorcycle which can double up as a tourer. The Gixxer SF carries forward the sculpted fuel tank and the rear panels from the naked motorcycle, though the edgy body panels in the front section have made way for the full-sized fairing. This fairing has been styled to resemble the bigger GSX-R superbikes and, the company claims, has been aerodynamically shaped to improve the motorcycles touring capabilities. The Gixxer SF is built on a single downtube frame, which also is used in its naked sibling. It is powered by the same 155cc single cylinder engine which delivers 14.6bhp and 14Nm of torque through a five-speed transmission. There is an option of fuel injection in the SF FI model range. A rear disc brake is on the options list, as is ABS. The Suzuki Gixxer SF is available in four colours: blue, black, red, and a rather fetching red and silver. The MotoGP edition paint scheme gets the Ecstar logo, which is the official supplier of engine oil to the manufacturers MotoGP effort. There is also special edition model called the Gixxer SF SP. It comes with a different graphic layout, maroon coloured seat and a clear lens LED tail lamp. The SP model is now available in two colour schemes, one of which is a combination of grey and black, and the other is a combination of black and gold, with new graphics on the headlamp cowl and fuel tank. The latter is available only in FI form.
The Suzuki Intruder FI is identical in every way to the carburetted Intruder 150 with the single exception of it being fuel injected. It has the same wide body that makes it appear to be a much larger motorcycle, the same plush, wide seat, and the handling derived from the Gixxer. The 155cc single-cylinder engine is expected to have the same power and torque output at 14bhp and 14Nm through a five-speed transmission. Discs at both ends take care of braking duties, and single-channel ABS is standard. The FI commands a Rs 4000 premium over the carburetted Intruder at the ex-showroom level. It rivals the Bajaj Avenger 180 Street.

The Apache RTR 160 has been around for well over a decade now, and the 4V is the new generation of 150cc premium commuter from the Hosur-based manufacturer. It has got input from TVSs racing division, and the new 160 4V shows derivations that certainly make it sporty. For one, the engine has a four-valve head, which makes it the only 150cc premium commuter besides the Bajaj Pulsar NS 160 with as many valves. It also gets oil cooling. It generates 16.1 or 16.3bhp, depending upon whether it is the carburetted or FI engine. Torque stand at 14.8Nm. A rear disc brake is optional for the carburetted version but the FI gets a rear disc brake as standard. ABS is on the options list now, for a little over Rs 3000 more over the equivalent non-ABS variant. It is a single-channel system. You get a slightly narrower rear tyre if you opt for the rear drum. The RTR 160 4V takes a lot of design cues from the RTR 200 4V but adds a few curvy bits like with the tank extensions, which makes it a very good looking motorcycle. The Apache RTR 160 4V competes with the other premium 150cc commuters like the Yamaha FZ-S, Suzuki Gixxer, Honda CB Hornet 160R, Honda XBlade, Bajaj Pulsar NS160 and its very own Apache RTR 180.
Suzuki has committed to developing its motorcycle range in the 150+ segment. They already have the Gixxer streetbike and the Gixxer SF, its fully faired sibling. The cruiser format is represented by this, the Intruder. The name as well as the styling is derived from the M1800R, the cruiser that among other things, had the widest rear tyre on a production motorcycle when it was launched. The Intruder shares its powertrain with the Gixxer a 155cc 14.6bhp motor powers the rear wheel via a five-speed gearbox. Fuel injection is available as an option. The rear tyre is the widest in the segment, at 140mm, and that feeling is echoed when you sit on the motorcycle those tank extensions make the Intruder feel a whole lot wider than it is, and it thus feels like a whole lot more motorcycle as well. The seat is also a lot wider than a standard seat, but it is very low as well, offering confidence and comfort to the cruiser aficionado. The Intruder does look odd from certain angles that tail lamp and surround echoes the GSX1300R Hayabusa, but most people will not pick that for design inspiration to begin with. The exhaust design looks great from a distance but close up the daylight behind the mesh at the tip doesnt look good. However, if a modern 150cc cruiser is what youre looking for, you cant currently do better than an Intruder on looks or handling.
