Suzuki Gixxer SF 155: Pros and cons 

Suzuki Philippines Incorporated (SPH) has introduced the Gixxer SF 155 not too long ago. Not only did it effectively expand the nameplate's lineup but also offered Filipino motorcycle enthusiasts a choice for when they want a bike that will look good both on the street and in the track. 

But before our readers jump the gun, here are some of its pros and cons — to help them make a better buying decision. 

Pros: 

Looks that turn heads 

One of the most noticeable advantages of getting the Suzuki Gixxer SF 155 is its sporty looks. As we have briefly covered above, the said model looks like a good daily driver, which riders can be proud of. 

After all, it bears a striking resemblance to the Suzuki Hayabusa. 

Its front is highlighted by a strong and sharp-looking fascia with a short yet functional windshield. The cowling also houses the headlamp together with what appears to be a lower front lip spoiler, serving as a precursor to the aerodynamic fairings found of its sides. 

Speaking of which, its flanks wear smooth and contoured claddings. These seem to wrap around the motorcycle’s front end to the gasoline tank. They also cover the majority of the two-wheeler’s engine and protect the important components of the bike. 

At the back, the Suzuki Gixxer SF 155 wears a sexy tail that tapers down to the end. There, a tail lamp can be found with an extended fender with integrated turn signals, a reflector, and a plate holder. 

The Suzuki Gixxer SF 155 also sport notable features like a flat but comfortable seat as well as a sporty twin exhaust system. 

Decent power 

In betwixt the rider’s thigh is a 155 cubic centimeter engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission system. 

Together, it generates a maximum of 14 horsepower with 14 Newton-meters of torque. The engine clocks in at 50 kilometers per liter. 

With the said numbers, the Suzuki Gixxer SF 155 offers decent power that matches its looks and overall vibe. Sure, it’s not an expressway-legal model, but it still produces enough grunt to provide a fun experience for riders who want a capable daily motorcycle that can see them through their everyday tasks. 

Price 

Another important factor to consider is the price point of the Suzuki Gixxer SF 155. 

Compared to other motorcycles in the segment, it comes as an affordable and attainable model. Here is a table, which shows the price of the Suzuki Gixxer SF 155 versus some of its competitors: 

Suzuki Gixxer SF 155	P114,900
Yamaha YZF-R15M	P203,000
Honda CBR 150R	P183,900

Cons: 

Only comes in one variant 

The Suzuki Gixxer SF 155 is offered in the Philippines in a single variant. 

While having only a single variant eliminates the need to pick which trim is best for one’s budget and motoring needs, it is also true that having multiple models at hand can help one pick a motorcycle tailored for his or her needs. 

The only level of personalization that the Suzuki Gixxer SF 155 offers is the two colorways it comes in, which is Pearl Glacier White and Metallic Triton Blue and Glass Sparkle Black.
