User Review of Gixxer SF by Manpreet Singh Kher

If you want a faired bike then go for it. Parts and services are not available everywhere and the resale value of these sports bikes is not good but this bike is a beast in this segment. The engine is reliable punchy and refined, you will find it fun to drive with this on special highways. Bike maintenance is also higher than other bikes in this segment but take a test ride to clear the requirements you want.

About the Reviewer

I have been riding a Suzuki Gixxer SF for the last five months and covered around 5500 km so far. My overall experience and observations -
Superb handling — Very few bikes, in my opinion, can match Gixxer SF’s handling prowess. You will have to ride it to believe this machine’s handling capabilities. Even when you are riding on roads filled with potholes, you would be able to handle the bike with ease. The chunky tires are super sticky and you can deal even the most challenging corners with confidence.
Power — On paper, the bike might give an impression that it is low on power — 15 BHP — when compared to Pulsar AS200, RS200, Honda CBR, Yamaha R15 etc., but once you twist the throttle and the engine starts grunting, you will realize that Gixxer SF is pretty powerful for a 155 cc bike and is probably, one of the best bikes in the 150 cc segment, in terms of power.
Comfort — Gixxer SF does not vibrate even at top speeds. I rode it at 125 kmph and did not feel any vibration! That speaks of the volume of comfort the bike offers. You can ride it at a stretch. However, the pillion seat is really uncomfortable and could give you a sore butt.
Mileage — Taking into consideration the fact that Gixxer SF is a performance bike in its segment and an excellent sports-tourer, it delivers an impressive mileage of 40–50 kmph within city and 50–60 on highways. Definitely not a bad figure to complement the bike’s 12 litre fuel tank. And yes, riding between 50–60 kmph and in fifth gear within the city will always deliver a satisfactory mileage.

About the Reviewer

Let's start with the design, absolutely gorgeous, and the handles are in a very comfortable reach. Performance is good for the segment but the torque could have been more punchier. The fuel efficiency is really good with mine giving around 35 to 40 km/ltr. The only real downsides are the stiff suspension and the shockingly bad service center.

About the Reviewer

I would suggest that instead of buying this, it is better to buy a bike which has fewer plastic parts because it looks good but when you go to get it repaired, then an outside mechanic will not be able to do any work in it. That's why my experience with this bike is not that good Instead, buy a bike that has minimum plastic parts like a Yamaha

About the Reviewer

High risk of falling in love with this bike. The red one is like fire. Mileage is good (32 to 40 kmpl). The best part of the same is comfort. You may ride with three but comfort comes in a single one. In the same line, you may go wherever you want, but wear a helmet and maintain the safety rules. Don't be a Chapri.

About the Reviewer

Some say the Gixxer SF is comfortable for long rides and has good ergonomics. However, others say the seat may be firm for long rides and the rear seat is not very spacious
The Gixxer SF has a 155cc fuel-injected engine that provides quick acceleration and responsive power. It has a top speed of about 130 km/h.

Beating is very smooth
Youthful Bike and very stylish
The seating position and Handling are awesome

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.

About the Reviewer

I call it King it not only gives me the thrill of riding it but is also good for my pocket on mileage It's just amazing it has a very amazing sound like a roaring lion it has the spirit of the tiger described as its soul.
Words can't explain how much I love this machine.
Thank you Suzuki for making this best in reality.

About the Reviewer

It's a 2016 model Gixxer SF carb Variant. Done 50000 km on it with only general service. Service and spare parts availability is an issue somewhere sometimes. But the bike is quite reliable so we don't feel that so much. Handling is superb. Stock Seat is not for long distances. Gets an average of 55 kmpl. The midrange is superb but lacks top end. We can cruise easily between 70-85.
