Suzuki's 150cc bike launched

As we scooped you before, the new 150cc bike for Suzuki has been launched today. Christened the GS150R, the bike takes clues from the GS150 sold in South-East Asia. Design-wise, a lot of clues come from the Gixxers - especially the tail end and the basic layout of the headlight, which resembles the '07 GSX-R1000. No fuel injection for this bike yet, as it uses 26mm carbs to feed the 150cc engine. However, a stylish digital console gives it a modern edge. 

The bike was launched in Delhi today, however, it will be available in all showrooms before Diwali. It is not a performance contender at all, as the 13.8 PS engine is tuned for city riding and coasts of a strong mid-range grunt.
