Suzuki GSX-R 150 Vs Honda CBR150R (Indonesia)

Suzuki GSX-R150 and Honda CBR 150R are one of the top-rated full-faired motorcycles in Bangladesh. Suzuki and Honda both Japanese brands are rivals for many years. Due to cc limitation in Bangladesh, GSX-R150 and CBR 150R are the highest segment motorcycle. Though both bikes are the same segments, but they have some differences between them. So let’s finds out which one is best from another.

Design

Both bikes look aggressive and sporty from the front end. Both are aerodynamically perfect and also passed the wind tunnel test. Both get a slight touch from their elder MotoGP sibling. You can find some differences in design, but both bikes are unique in their own design patterns.

Engine

Handling and Comfort

Sports bikes are not to provide riding comfort. Sports bikes are meant to lightweight, maximum lean angle and provide excellent engine performance. So it’s a little bit silly to expect better handling on a sports bike. But if you compare them, then CBR-150R will be ahead of GSX-R. The handlebar of CBR is a little bit upper and also comperatively comfortable during the ride. But GSX-R is more aerodynamic and edgy designed for better cornering and top speed.
