Coming to the looks and design of Honda CB150R Streetfire VS Suzuki GSX-S150 both the bike is naked street machine. The CB150R Streetfire is designed with the look of true street fighter.
It’s designed sharp like a razor from top to bottom. It’s a street macho machine but nicely featured to meet all the requirement of a commuter.
I see the machine has designed focusing all age of riders. Therefore its smart design undoubtedly will fit any kind of users. In addition modern features like bikini cowling, dented fuel tank, sporty exhaust, sharp LED headlamp & tail lamp etc have enhanced its gorgeous looks and appearance.
On counter side the Suzuki GSX-S150 is a most aggressive designed naked bike. Its design is more focused to street sports and quite ignored the commuting features.
It designed somewhat with robotic theme where the LED headlamp with wide DRL it looks quite like alien in the dark.
Moreover the bikini cowling with dented fuel tank along with high raised split pillion seat gave it the attitude of always ready to fight. Hence to be frank the bike designed only focusing the street sporting and of-course targeting the young age riders only.

On counter Suzuki GSX-S150 also comes with all alloy rim with tubeless tires. The tires are 90mm in front and 130mm in rear, hence the front tire is narrower than the streetfire.
Again GSX-S150 comes with hydraulic disk braking on both wheel but rear disk size is very small in comparison with Honda Streetfire.
In terms of suspension system we found no mentionable difference in GSX-S150.It also comes with telescopic fork suspension in front and rear one is linked mono type.
Honda CB150R Streetfire VS Suzuki GSX-S150 Riding & Controlling Feature
We have mentioned both the bike Honda CB150R Streetfire VS Suzuki GSX-S150 are naked street sports bike. But in real their design and user focus is different for sure.
Here Honda CB150R Streetfire is commuter focused premium sports machine. But the Suzuki GSX-S150 focused on young riders need. So the riding & controlling feature of the bikes are different.
Here Honda Streetfire comes with single piece handlebar that positioned in semi sporty upright position. The seating posture of Streetfire also arranged for semi sporty upright riding. Hence riding a Streetfire even for long time is very easy, comfortable and pleasant.
Moreover the comfortable single piece seat along with double horn grab rail allows comfortable ride even for heavy pillions. To support that easy & comfortable ride Streetfire brake, suspension and aerodynamics also performs best even in high speed riding.
On the other side Suzuki GSX-S150 is very much focused with street fighting attitude. In core it has less commuting feature but has the hard core attitude of road rushing.
Here the handle bar, riding position and seating also quite same like Streetfire. But it’s more aggressive than Streetfire.
Basically it’s a single rider focused bike as the comfortable seating for pillion is somewhat ignore here. The seat is split where rider seating is in little aggressive posture and pillion seat is a tiny part.
The small pillion seat is literary not suitable for sitting a pillion. Over more riding with pillion in high speed it somewhat is not safe for everyone. Here again the braking and suspension system is nice and safe only for solo riding.

But here is a twist that is Streetfire’s square engine tuned for comfortable city commuting with maximum fuel efficiency. Hence the first three gear ratio is little tight and it unleashes its speedy attitude after that.
And the acceleration is constant in all RPM where due to gear arrangement & aerodynamic design it also can touch significant top speed which something beyond the power rating.
On counter side Suzuki over square engine is very smooth in all RPM operation. But in congested and tight traffic situation commuting with GSX-S150 can feel little lag. Again on highways it can show its true performance as its performance unleashed at higher RPM.
Again here the back lag is its design. Here the tank cowling are widened like wings that tackles huge air pressure and somewhat becomes unstable in high speed ride.
And that also is the reason of not clocking significant top speed even being light weighted machine. Moreover baking in high speed with GSX-S150 is not ground breaking due to very light weigh & aggressive naked design.
