The fuel tank extensions, raised tail section and the edgy front fascia give the motorcycle the quintessentially aggressive look of a streetfighter.

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.

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.

The Gixxer SF is built on a single downtube frame, which also is used in its naked sibling.

The Suzuki Burgman Street goes where no other scooter has gone in the Indian market. Well, unless you count the long-discontinued Kinetic Blaze.

The Burgman Street is based on the Access chassis and driveline, which means peppy performance for a 125cc. It gets LED lighting all around, and a front disc brake with a combined brake system is standard. It has more storage space than any scooter on the market right now, with two cubby holes on the front apron, one closed and one open, and a big underseat storage space.
