Suzuki Motorcycles India have launched the Gixxer SF fully faired bike in the country. However, we’ve already ridden the bike at Suzuki’s global headquarters in Japan and here are a few things you should know about it.
The Gixxer SF is based on the Gixxer naked bike launched by the company last year. So apart from the fairing and a few cosmetic changes, it shares the engine, chassis and most of the cycle parts with its naked sibling.
The155cc four-stroke single cylinder air-cooled engine and the five-speed gearbox haven’t undergone any changes for the SF. Power output stands at 14.8 PS at 8,000 RPM and it generates a peak torque of 14 Nm at 6,000 RPM. The engine is refined and fuel conscious but we did feel it should have had a little more punch.
