The bike has been designed with awesome designing as it looks attractive from all the angles – be it from the front, side or rear. The headlamp designing and positioning of the Suzuki GS150R reminds you of Suzuki GSX R. Both the variants have a very similar headlamp clustering.

The graphics used on the bike, especially on the fuel tank are quite eye-catchy. It lifts the personality of the bike and makes a lasting impression on your mind. The rear tail lamp is a LED one which has been merged with the rear turn indicators. There are two more things that catch the eye – it is the exhaust pipe and the heat cover. Both give the bike a trendy and a sporty look.

The high speed acceleration can be gauged by the fact that it takes only 5.5 seconds to cross the barrier of 60 kmph. One rich feature of this bike is the speed of deceleration. You might have heard about acceleration. But the deceleration from 60-0 kmph which takes only around 18 seconds brings down the chances of accidents and mishaps.

The heavy engine prevents the bike from delivering a millage on the upper side. It offers around 48 kmpl in the city area and can touch the 55 kmpl mark on the highways. The tank of the Suzuki GS150R is 15.5 liters with 2 liters of usable reserve.

However, the bike with black color looks out of the world. The front mudguard, the fuel tank and the portion around the front headlamp is painted in body colors.

For better control and controlling, the bike is equipped with dual hydraulic disc brake at the front wheel and drum brake at the rear wheel. This helps the bike to stop even at high speeds and shorter distances.
