That said, here are some things to know about the Suzuki Intruder 150!

Suzuki Intruder: Top Speed & Acceleration

Although having the same engine as the Gixxer, the Intruder 150 is almost 13kg heavier than the naked motorcycle. Hence, the Intruder 150 has a lesser claimed top speed of 115km/h. The top speed on the FI variant will be slightly higher.

The entry-level cruiser can accelerate from 0-100km/h in around 19 seconds. The FI variant takes almost two seconds less to do the same, with a 0-100km/h time of 17 seconds.

Suzuki Intruder: Mileage & Fuel Capacity

While the carburetted and fuel-injected versions produce identical power outputs, the mileage figures are different on each; the FI variant having more.

The regular Suzuki Intruder 150 has a claimed mileage* of 44km/l. The Intruder 150 FI, on the hand, gives a mileage of 48km/l.

*Real-world mileage figures could be higher or lower depending on riding style, road conditions and engine health.

The fuel tank capacity of the entry-level cruiser is decent at 11 litres.

Suzuki Intruder: Kerb Weight & Dimensions

Being a cruiser, the Suzuki Intruder is supposed to be bulky (a lot in its case) and heavy. At a kerb weight of 148kg, the Intruder is heavier than the naked Gixxer by 13kg. The weight comes in the form of the overly-protruding body panels and the quirky headlamp-fork unit.

The FI variant is 1kg heavier than the carb model.

Coming to the overall dimensions, the Suzuki Intruder 150 is 2050mm in length, has a width of 785mm and a height of 1030mm.

Suzuki Intruder: Seat Height & Ground Clearance

The Intruder 150 gives a ‘low' riding experience with a seat height of 740mm. The 150cc cruiser has got ground clearance at 170mm; enough to take on most undulations.

The wheelbase stands at 1405mm.

Suzuki Intruder: Wheels & Brakes

The Suzuki Intruder 150 rides on 100/80 R17 and 140/60 R17 front and rear tyres. The 17-inch three-spoke alloy wheels, finished in black, are the same as on the Gixxer.

The motorcycle gets a 266mm and 220mm disc brakes at the front and rear, respectively. Safety is further increased by a single-channel (front) ABS.

Suzuki Intruder: Colours

The Suzuki Intruder 150 is available only in two colour schemes:

• Metallic Grey + Metallic Matte Black
• Glass Sparkle Black + Metallic Matte Titanium Silver

Verdict



The Suzuki Intruder 150 is inspired from the bigger and powerful Intruder M1800R. The motorcycle has got decent performance and fuel-efficiency while offering a relaxed riding posture. The main downside of the motorcycle is its looks. The Intruder 150 is a bad-looking motorcycle (especially when viewed from the rear) with its extra-bulky body and skinny tyres.

But in terms of usability and practicality, the Suzuki Intruder 150 is a fitting rival to the Bajaj Avenger 150.
