Suzuki arrived relatively late to the sporty 150 cc segment. Sure, they had the GS150R since 2008, but it was unable to match the popularity of the Yamaha FZ. Then in 2014, Suzuki came up with the Gixxer, followed by the Gixxer SF in 2015. These two motorcycles helped give Suzuki’s sales a big push.

In August, Suzuki Motorcycle India launched the 2017 Suzuki Gixxer SF SP, and Gixxer SP. In the same month the brand launched the Suzuki Gixxer SF ABS. I spent some time riding the bike and here are my impressions.

The Suzuki Gixxer SF isn’t just a fairing slapped on to the regular Gixxer. In fact, Suzuki has developed the aerodynamic full sport fairing in the same wind-tunnel where the legendary Hayabusa, GSX-R and MotoGP machines are developed. The Japanese company has designed the fairing to give maximum wind protection to the rider, reducing turbulence and drag; thereby delivering greater aerodynamic efficiency. This directly results in higher down force for stable braking and lower drag for better handling at higher speeds.

The SP variant comes with a three-tone red-black-grey paint job, which looks rather neat, without being ostentatious. The red stripe on the tank features the ‘SP’ logo, flanked by rivets on the sides. The mid-section of the frame also gets red trim, which complements the black and grey tailpiece. The sporty red rim stickers add to the youthful appeal of the bike. The brushed aluminium tip on the dual exit exhaust gives it a nice premium feel, and I feel the design of the exhaust is one of the best in segment.

The biggest feature of this motorcycle is the inclusion of single-channel ABS. We’ll discuss how it affects the bike’s handling in the paragraphs ahead. Other than that, the bike gets AHO, and a fully digital instrument cluster. Unlike the Gixxer, the Gixxer SF does not come with a kicker. So if the battery fails, you’ll have to push the bike to start. Coming back to the instrument cluster, it features a gear position indicator which is quite handy while crawling in city traffic. Apart from the gear position display, it has speedometer, twin trip meters, tachometer, six-bar fuel gauge, and time.

The switchgear is pretty standard, with engine kill and ignition on the right, and indicator, pass beam, and horn on the left. The quality of the switches, including the Select and Adjust buttons on the cluster are good, and are glove-friendly. The cluster is easy to read in all light conditions as well.
