The sporty fairing of the SF gives it better aerodynamics than the naked Gixxer. So it has a higher top speed and the front end feels more weighted under acceleration. The riding position has a sporty edge due to the slightly rear-set footpegs and it suits city as well as highway riding.
The SF handles extremely well in corners and offers a smooth and supple ride. Braking duties are done by the single hydraulic disc on the front wheel and a drum brake at the rear and they provide sufficient stopping power to the motorcycle.
The bike is available in three colour schemes and has been priced at Rs 83,439 (ex-showroom Delhi). Suzuki calls it a ‘Street Sport Bike’ and it has created a unique place for itself in the Indian market as an overall package.
