Suzuki GS150R vs Apache RTR - is it worthy enough to compete with Apache RTR ?

Nov 16th, 2008 | By Premnath Sah | Category: 150 cc bike, Reviews & Comparisons

Suzuki GS150R is the new kid in the 150 segment bikes. It has few interesting features like 6 speed transmission, good looking digital console,  seems to have more torque than Apache RTR. Lets compare these two beasts.

When we talk about torque Suzuki has taken some effort to extract from extra Torque from the engine putting it to 13.4 Nm.  We should also take RTR 160 FI into equation because it is the greatest from TVS and regular RTR to be fare. Absense of Electronic Fuel Injection system is not excuse for Suzuki because they entered the market late without EFI inspite of competitor having a model with EFI.

This comparison is to see how partner’s few years back fare as competitor’s.
