WE RIDE THE NEWEST IN THE COMMUTER CRUISER SEGMENT FROM SUZUKI, THE INTRUDER 150 ON THE CURVES OF LAVASA!
WHACKY! The first word which comes to mind when you lay eyes on the new Suzuki In-truder 150.
As I headed to Lavasa for the first ride of the Intruder 150, I couldn’t help but wonder at Suzuki’s choice of location for a cruiser. Lavasa has been made famous by motorcyclists of Pune as the perfect ghat section, which isn’t the natural home for a cruiser. But as I rode the curves I was pleasantly surprised to be proved wrong, more on that later…
There are a few motorcycles in the world which bring together a common motorcyclists consensus about its aesthetics. The Suzuki Intruder 150 isn’t one of them. It is difficult to brand it gorgeous or ugly. The front will leave you delighted and the rear, well not so much! I am not someone who generally cares about looks, because it is so subjective. But the Intruder leaves me perplexed. The bike looks muscular and intimidating from the front three quarters with the big headlight dome, 41mm chunky forks and the flowing plastic shrouds. It gives an impression of a motorcycle larger than its 150 mill. The rear could really have done with a upsized tyre, as there is a mismatch between the bodywork and rubber. But that isn’t possible on a 150cc, so we just have to live with it!
When inspected In detail the Intruder has quality plastics and components. At no point of time will you find anything looking cheap. The only thing which sticks out like a sore thumb are the RVMs; chrome where there is almost none on the rest of the motorcycle. Simple black ones would have sufficed.
