Con's
Performance is not up to mark as its Torque and RPM are a bit low (it affects pickup) compared to other bikes which are available around the 150cc range.
After 70km speed felt hard even after 5400km was completed. which I don't like and gears are struck when you suddenly stop in traffic and at U-turns. It was a very bad experience I never had such a problem with other bikes
Disk pumping(double disk) in high-speed control not working properly breaking the road
if you are above 5.10'' in height you will feel Knee and shoulder pain(it's my personal experience I am 6.0'')
Also observed some display issues in the speedo meter. each point contains 2 ltr oil but sometimes it's suddenly going down. informed a mechanic he is saying that it is a controlled system so it's behaving like that.
last but not least Bikewale please highlight this point we are not finding skilled mechanics for BS6 model bikes even in the authorised service centre they are not doing proper service as they are not properly trained. they are also scared if they do something and it may be affected somewhere because of chip-based software. just doing show work is affecting bike performance. there is a lot of knowledge gap in mechanics.
if anyone wants to buy this bike do a test drive on an open road not in traffic. go 70km speed and try disk pumping(double disk to control speed)then you will find real performance. if you go 50 defiantly will definitely be smooth.

Thank you Suzuki for making this best in reality.

About the Reviewer

Both gixxer sf 155/250 is so underrated. I own a gixxer sf 155 and have ridden about 1500 km so far, this is what I felt about this bike.
Quality:
The build quality is pretty good, aerodynamics are at their best, the headlights are the best in the segment you won’t need custom lights, provides excellent reach and visibility even in pitch dark conditions.
Engine:
Performance is pretty average. Low-end punch is not there, top-end lags but mid-range performance is good. It’s not a peppy engine it’s more like a refined smooth engine. I did a top speed of 124, with a pillion 119.
Seating comfort and handling:
The seating posture is brilliant because it’s not too sporty, not upright, it’s well set. Pillion comfort is poor because the pillion seat is a bit taller set and it’s hard(caused butt aches). Handling is top-notch in this bike. Cornering abilities are decent.
Mileage:
(getting a mileage is subjective)
City:40-47 (my avg:44)
Highway:45-52 (my avg:49)
Braking:
The brakes are so good, the single-channel abs do their job pretty well. The rear brake is decent.
Cons:
• it’s a bit expensive for what it offers. Lacks power (13.6ps only).
• misses both sides stand indicator and sensor.
• pillion comfort is poor. The gearbox is a bit hard (should wear shoes or loafers instead of chappals).
• visor is way too small(i changed mine in the aftermarket).Slight heating in heavy traffic conditions.
• resale value is lower than other bikes in this segment.
Pros:
• looks stunning absolutely eye-catchy.
• quality levels are pretty good (never faced oil leak, sound from the fairing and other parts).
• the engine is butter smooth.
• great fuel efficiency. (always returns me a 45km per litre)
• handling is so good. Provides so much comfort for the rider(not for the pillion).
• flicking around traffic, taking a u-turn, and cruising at 70-85 km on highways were not a problem on this bike.
• aerodynamics is impressive (even though there are slight heating issues, it cools down very well by sucking the air from the gaps between fairing and sending it through over the engine).
• headlight looks cool and also has a widespread and provides excellent visibility(even at pitch dark).
Verdict (my experience)
I wanted a motorcycle under 1.5 lakhs. I don’t want to go over 160 cc because I wanted a good mileage. I wanted a bike that offers a decent performance with good build quality.
These are the bikes in the budget that i considered and took a test drive and this is what i felt:
1. Hero Xtreme 160
2. Pulsar ns 160
3. Apache 160 4v
4. Suzuki gixxer sf
Hero xtreme 160 is the cost lot lesser out of the 4 I mentioned by a big margin. Performance is good. All led setup is eye-catchy. Quality is not good. The seat setup is poor and the pillion seat is the worst. My friends suggested not to buy this because it might get some issues in the future.
Ns160 is a beast without a doubt it offers great performance and has an oil cooler at this price point which is amazing. Ns always have poor quality parts throughout which causes oil leaks, and rattling sounds from some parts (including the tank region). It is outdated.
Apache 160 4v comes with a lot of features and has an excellent performance. I am not a fan of its look and design but apparently, it offers everything that I asked for in a 160 cc bike. I am a tall person (6 feet) the only problem i had with this bike is that apache is suited for short and average riders. The legroom near the tank is very limited so i have to fold my legs hard which makes me uncomfortable to ride in the first place.
Gixxer sf surprisingly suited my character and met my expectation so i bought it.
