Suzuki Gixxer (2014-2018) User Reviews
This best for interiors jobs person and comfortable and better for long range and Ii have this and it's good
I'm offering my meticulously maintained bike for sale, boasting regular servicing and usage, and delivering remarkable mileage despite its age.
While the engine impresses on highways, comfort for the pillion might be a concern. Nevertheless, with a commendable mileage exceeding 50 on highways, this 155 cc bike stands out in its class. There's potential for enhancement in safety features, particularly focusing on pedal functionality.
Nearly 23000km covered the 2018 BS4 model. Quality parts are good, I got an accident an year ago with a car surprised that only my leg guard bent and little scratch on a tank. The car bonet was completely has broken. Pros:- 1. Good looking (especially tank size and look) 2. Good quality 3. We can cruise at speed of 65 to 85 on highway if no crosswind (we can go further but use windshield). However, am cruising around 65 to 75 speed in most case. 4. After 1 year, my exhaust sound is better (using motul engine oil, the engine is a little more smooth). 5. Breaking confidence is super (good breaking my bike equipped with dual disc no abs). Cons:- 1. Pillion seat is not good and also back seat and height is high (only zero fig.can sit there). 2. When hard braking rider moving to tank side. 3. The service cost is a little high. So, just buy a product from an authorized center and change yourself or with a local workshop.
It's a fantastic bike.. with fantastic power. It's pulling is great. I like the most is its price. And, this is a very powerful bike at a low cost. Its mileage is very good. Overall, the performance of the bike is fantastic.
