Recently Asked User Questions
- Both are good vehicles. But R15v3 has more power than Gixxer sf.prise is also bit aggressive than Gixxer sf.Maintenance of both are same.Gixxer sf is some more comfortable than R15v3.
- Go for Gixxer SF for price , mileage , maintenance, if you are looking speed and pickup i prefer R15
- Go for GIXXER SF
- Vinod Here MT15 is pure performance oriented bike you can't compare with other. and among 150-160 according to my experience and opinion Apache 160 will be my first choice over NS200 which comes as second coz of the stock tyres they offer. Third will be the new contentender with more intent is Hero Xtreme I was impressed with it's wonderful handling and performance but I don't like it's styling ( but if you like its styling you can go for it blindfolded) and the next will be Gixxer SF 155 especially for its riding comfort and styling which also gives good mileage among the first two.And finally To be frank I don't think change in the tank design front head lamps will help you to long last in this 150-160cc segment which both Honda and Yamaha is doing by their Blade/Hornet/trigger/Dazzler and FZ FZ FZ
- Yo can go with MT-15 / Gixxer sf. & There is no gear indicator in fz.
- Just go and test ride to find your companion
- Honestly they both have a high pillion seat,which will make it difficult for the pillion,because these bikes are made in such designs that it will provide more comfort to the rider.... but if you are comparing both bikes,gixxer will provide more comfort for the pillion than R15
- Yamaha is totally sports bike for single that have pillion seat is not more comfortable Ab aap har waqt to friends ko baithayege nahi kabhi ghar wale Bhi pillion seat pe baithe ge si that condition for all types comforts Gixxer is better options
- Fz.s v3. If you need sports bike you can choose Gixxer sf for better pillion comfort

I was previously driving Discover 125. I was in search of a new bike. I was a bit confused between Honda Hornet, Yamaha FZS v3 and Suzuki Gizzer SF. I saw all the 3 bikes in the showroom. Hornet was not so eye catchy. So I rejected Hornet. Then I choose FZS v3, as I have heard Yamaha bikes have very refined engines. I have also test rided Gixxer SF 150. Once I saw a person parking the FZS v3 outside and it was looking so u**y after riding for sometime. Then I went straight to Suzuki showroom and booked the Gixxer SF 150. I have choosen Gixxer SF over FZS as it also have some additional features like time, gear shift indicator and also the sexy look. Whereever I goes, all people stares on my bike.Seats space: I am having a small kid of 4 yrs. There is enough room for me, my kid and my wife in the bike. We have travelled 160 kms at a stretch without any problem. Now about the performance and riding controls.Its a fun bike to ride. Performance of this bike is also very gud. We can easily cruise over 80-90 kmph without any stress to the engine. But I have not tried on this speed. Riding control is also very gud. We can easily maneuver in city traffic without any stress on your body.Milage: I got mileage of around 55-56 km before first servicing. I am not an aggressive biker. I takes atmost care of my bike. I kept speed within 60-65 kmph. Now have done my first servicing now. Serviceing cost is also cheap. I got a bill of Rs. 699/- which includes synthetic oil. After servicing I have not rode much. Will check the mileage and update. And now regarding the ABS noise. I have seen some persons complained about the noise in the ABS. But frankly speaking I am not getting any annoying noise from the ABS during hard breaking. I have checked multiple times. May be this was coming in some of the first batches of the bikes. I had purchased the bike on 13th Sept., 2019.

I’m using Suzuki Gixxer SF Fi ABS since 27th Sep 2017, about (38000km) and the bike feels so amazing to ride and confident in cornering that it makes you push it more. And yes, of course, the bike is awesome for touring long-distance while continue riding. The last tour which I completed on it is from India to Nepal 4 days tour covering about 1800 km and guess what no back pain no discomfort “I ride the bike all alone. (Tour was of 29 Dec 2018 to 01 Jan 2019)Mileage with power great combo. As we are maintaining the speed of 85–90 km/ hrs and my Gixxer never disappoints me in mileage, power, comfort and style. Whenever we were stopped by Nepal Police they get excited about my Gixxer like it is some superbike for them an awesome experience. The route in Nepal is made on valley so power is required to maintain and my Gixxer never disappoints me.

Build quality and engine refinement are 10/10.Suzuki has nailed it.Best tourer sports bike for both rider and pillion.No back pain issues.It delivers a mileage of greater than 50.Best led lights in its segment for long and bright vision.Definitely a value for money bike.Don't think twice.Go and grab one.
