Suzuki motorcycles is having a good run in India, courtesy of its Gixxer range of motorcycles. Both the Gixxer and the Gixxer SF have been quite successful in the country, as far as their sales go. However, it seems Suzuki is now looking at different product segments. One of the segments it reportedly is looking at is the low-displacement cruiser segment. The big player in this segment is the Bajaj Avenger Street 150. To rival the Avenger, Suzuki is likely to bring the GZ150 motorcycle to India.

Since the Suzuki GZ150 has a low-displacement 149cc engine, it should be able to deliver an estimated mileage of 55 KMPL. Though we are curious as to whether Suzuki will offer it with a 5-speed gearbox or upgrade it to a 6-speed unit. The latter is likely to help the bike deliver more mileage.

The Suzuki GZ150 is a cruiser motorcycle. Hence, its wheelbase is a long 1,460mm. This should enable the bike to cruise on the highway in a stable manner. However, its 12-litre fuel tank seems small for what is essentially a bike that appeals to touring enthusiasts. However, due to its small displacement, it will still be quite easy to throw around in urban riding conditions.
