Suzuki Intruder 150 Fi Price in Osmanabad

I bought this beauty in june 2021 from the apple suzuki showroom, near devegowda petrol bunk, bengaluru. The tipping point towards the intruder was the riding comfort and the proven engine with great mileage. I bought this as a daily office commuter and to undertake occasional rides. The daily approximate ride of 130 km (two ways) was a breeze. There never was fatigue and i was fresh in the office. And please note it's definitely a head-turner.
I had done some modifications after i purchased the intruder. They are
1. Led headlamp instead of halogen one and a switch for killing the headlamp. Only the led ring below the headlamp will always be on. This has resulted in great battery life.
2. Installation of fog lamps with switches. The one i got from adishwars, lalbagh, is a dual colour one (white & yellow) and it works great at night.
3. Got installed one jaw-grip waterproof motorcycle mobile phone holder mount with fast usb 3.0 charger. I strongly recommend this to everyone who is looking to add a charger to their two-wheeler. There is also a wireless variant available if you are looking for one. It is great to hold the mobile and the grip is strong even on bumpy roads.
4. Installed a luggage carrier (back + two side mounts) with a taller backrest for the pillion rider. Some jugaad has to be done for the pillion seat to get it locked.
5. Installed pro performance parts, easy tags-highway foot rest, which serves two purposes - one when my daughter sits on the tank and another when i'm driving long distances, for resting our feet.
I had these modifications done over a period of two months. During that time, i was doing short road trips (150-200 km one way) and the intruder was very comfortable and fun to ride on. Nothing to complain about. In December, i undertook my first long-distance road trip on the intruder (Bengaluru - goa). A total distance of 600 km and i have completed the journey in 10 hours. In the morning, i left my house by 6 am and i was in my hotel in goa, by 4 pm. In this ride, i have faced some problems with the engine. By the time i reached goa, the engine was making heavy noise and was also getting very hot. I suspected the valve time change and i have taken the two-wheeler to the service center in goa and they confirmed the same. They said, there was nothing to worry about and i can drive back to Bengaluru, with some additional rest stops. I was not willing to take the risk and i came back on the train. Also, there was some fatigue after the long drive. The seat needs more cushion for long drives.
Except for this, my experience with my intruder is top-notch. Mileage i'm getting 38-40. The bike is fun to ride on. The top speed i have touched is 122 kmph. The engine is very smooth in the range of 90 - 100 kmph. Above 103 kmph it starts to make some low noise. The bike is very sturdy on the road and as mentioned it's a big head-turner. I will recommend this bike to anyone who is looking for a cruiser with a budget below 2 lakhs.
I was ready to upload some pictures of my intruder, but there was no option.
