Buying a Japanese tourer motorcycle in India under Rs. 1 lakh isn’t a tough task. You have two very potent motorcycles available on sale which can allow you to ride long distances easily with the 150cc motor helping you munch miles faster.
The Suzuki Gixxer SF is our top pick since it comes equipped with a full fairing at the same cost at which the semi-faired Yamaha Fazer V2 retails. It looks much sportier and the full fairing results in better aero performance as well. Also, the Gixxer is a fairly new product in comparison to the Fazer.
However, with the Fazer, you get electronic fuel injection while the Gixxer SF uses a carburettor. This results in a crisper throttle response on the Yamaha.
Look at how these two bikes fight each other on paper, and see if it helps your purchase decision.
