  Gs150r is a really strongly built commuter bike and surely not meant for street racers.  The digital speedo and smooth engine with engine balancer and 6th gear overdrive of gs150r is really good value for money, but suzuki need to reduce weight of gs150r.  They should use modern light and strong fiber materials to reduce weight wherever possible, like fz16.

  So, if you are a youngster looking for instant power, go for Apache RTR, fz16, dazzler, or pulsar. Only Apache and Pulsar have sporty clip-on handles.  Fz16 and dazzler do not have sporty ride posture; they have straight seating.

  If you are a calm rider, executive/family man looking for a practical smooth commuter bike, then go for Gs150r, Old unicorn, or Cbzx.

  Gs150r has the digital speedo, gas-charged rear shocks, engine balancer and 6th gear.  Unicorn has monoshock but no digital speedo.  cbzx does not have digital speedo and has only ordinary spring rear shocks, it does not have gas-charged rear shocks.

  The digital speedo and gear indicator is superb.  Engine is smooth and also has engine balancer, which other bikes dont have.  6th gear for highways is great.  Can ride bike in 5th gear even at slow speed of 35 kmph without jerking or knocking.  Get good mileage in city riding in 4th and 5th gear itself.  Not compulsory to use 6th gear in city.  Dry weight is 134 kg, but it is 149 kg kerb weight with full tank petrol.  It should be 5 kg lighter, then it will be unbeatable.
