Suzuki Gixxer SF 2017 - First Long Ride and Detailed Review

The Suzuki Gixxer SF 2017 is here and it is sporting two new paint schemes - the pearl mira red and the glass sparkle black. I got my hands on the red one and took it out for a spin.
Watch my video to check out my detailed review of the Gixxer SF, the new paint schemes, upgrades to BS4, ride posture, braking, pickup and much more.

[@nildev7264]

Ur voice though! Sensational..... 5 star for review as well!

[@TheSavantLife]

Thanks a bunch mate

[@ayubabdurraheem253]

The Savant Life bhai is ka mileage kya hai city or highway me is ka pick up fast hai hornet 160r se nai kam hai jaldi reply

[@imamhossan101]

Nwil Dave haha

[@raziekmutahar4867]

The red looks attractive.... How's the road grip and do you think it's comfortable for long rides and engine heat....???

[@TheSavantLife]

The red is a real eye catcher. The road grip is fine and it's quite comfortable for long rides considering it's a faired bike.

[@pradeepgodavarthi8313]

The Savant Life road grip is fantastic... You can scrap ur knees

[@girib1005]

The Savant Life bhaiya gaadi kaisi riding gears kaisa lene layak hai kya pls reply

[@preciousme1888]

Giri B

[@praveens9469]

If you interested in long ride go for intruder...... Because of same butter smooth engine from Gixxer. Compare with Royal endfild Intruder having less maintenance cost and better comfort but RE having great classic look and resale value. Compare with Bajaj Avenger series Intruder having better equipped, better comfort level and riding quality. Maintaining cost similar for both brand's . But similar price you can buy a 220cc engine from Bajaj Avenger series Comparison of 150cc and 220cc apart from intruder is well equipped and valu for money product.

[@maiaurdugdug]

ur video made me buy a gixxer sf

[@TheSavantLife]

That's great to hear - congratulations.

[@navinnaidu7013]

which bike is suitable for travelling more than 80km/day 1. gixxer sf 2.hornet 3.yamaha fz s 4.unicorn 160

[@abinash138]

what is the onroad price??

[@basharkhan3723]

what about the milage?

[@TheSavantLife]

35-45 depending on how you ride.

[@Aditya-es4sx]

you didnt knew that gixxer performance way better than FZ16? and handles too.

[@TheSavantLife]

There's always a first time 😉

[@mayankmittal8107]

Lol i am 15 years old and i got suzuki gixxer. But m sad its not sf :( Guxxer sf looks so cooool

[@pradeepgodavarthi8313]

Proud owner of the bike 2015 sf.... Better option than fz for travellimg 50km a day... I bought for commuting purposes for my btech... But the fun of riding it is incredible dont ever underestimate japanese bike by their numbers.. Fz25 beats duke 250.... Numbers are not everything... Also btw topspeed is 131kmph...

[@TheSavantLife]

Dammn right - you're preaching to the choir here coz I'm a Yamaha fan for sure.

[@beamerbros4415]

I thought duke 200 and 390 are the only dukes though

[@mayukhsen8195]

Fz25 is not even comparable to Duke 200 in terms of acceleration, let alone top end, and you are talking about Duke 250 lol. Fz25 is a 5 gear bike.

[@BloodySweetBadass]

@@mayukhsen8195 FZ 25 , it's damn torquey engine , test driven my friends bike which had its 3rd service over . U can definitely reach close to 135 Kmph which is d max I had . It's low on power on paper , but initial pickup is insane due to high amount of torque .Trust me , It can give tough competition to Duke 250 .

[@techuser7261]

Mayukh Sen fz25 can beat Duke 200 easily but Duke 250 nope it will match Duke 250 till 70kmph after that Duke 250 will win .fz25 has same sprocket as Duke 250. And weighs same as Duke 200 with more torque.

[@VinayKumar-db4qz]

Why the name "Savant Life", sounds like a spiritual yoga centre. 😁

[@TheSavantLife]

Ha ha ha - that's a first 😁

[@alfinfrancis8227]

Hey mahn.. i understand that you are a yamaha fanboy.. so you are desperately trying to hate that bike even though you like it.. May be unknowingly.. realize that.. the bike is real good for a 155cc bike..

[@mn-do5tf]

Gixxer sf with rear disc..... using for past 2 years Pros:- * Reliability.. engine performs good in all weather conditions.. self start never miss to fire. *Low maintenance... Service cost Rs1200 *Awesome handling & cornering.. too much confidence inspiring... *Suspension & chasis is really good.. lets you know what bike is upto.. *Best low & mid grunt.. urges to go fast.. *Now even Better brakes(ABS) *No vibration fm fairing still intact.. No lose bolts....... (as seen in RS200. & Apache RR310) And even suits shorter riders. Cons: *Vibration start to creep in after a year *Gear box too hard & false neutral... No improvement. *Headlight bulb is crap... *Black painted metal parts have lost their color... Rusting of parts.. *Not refined as Yamaha fz To sum it up.... Best budget sports bike....with good performance, handling...& reliability

[@vanventuresofjesus]

why are you changing lanes like noobs

[@vijoyem1]

[@MohanSharma-tp3xe]

Maybe because he is one.

[@TheSavantLife]

Ha ha - you got that right 😁👍

[@TheSavantLife]

Thanks bud ✌

[@vishalthapa4860]

can you please review hornet 160r exactly the same way that this video is........want to see pickup and city ride......is it better thn gixxer.....please

[@TheSavantLife]

Ok - I have been meaning to. Maybe in a week's time or so.

[@vishalthapa4860]

The Savant Life thankyou i have subscribed hope to see tht video soon

[@vinaynb63]

why do most of the test ride bikes have a not-working speedo?

[@TheSavantLife]

One of the theories is coz they don't want people to rip the bike to see what the top speed is

[@TheSavantLife]

To all those who are asking about the gloves that I am wearing - they are from Scoyco You can buy them from the links below if you are interested: amzn.to/2oACkUg fkrt.it/wInR8!NNNN ✌

[@rinaralte6648]

The Savant Life i really really wish that Suzuki would build a yamaha fz25 killer. A 300cc air cooled with an oil cooler and 25 bhp with 145 kg kerb weight and name it as gixxer 300 but alas suzuki might be too late.

[@TheSavantLife]

They certainly have all the capabilities to do it. Here's some inside news though - I believe they are planning to launch a 250 CC Gixxer towards the second half of this year.

[@rinaralte6648]

The Savant Life wow then that is great news to me!!

[@Abdul-kp9nb]

The Savant Life your voice is beautiful MaShahAllah

[@TheSavantLife]

Shukriya

[@drona311]

I am 21 and just bought myself a KTM Duke 390 2017 with my own money....*woot woot ....:P great review as always...also not trying to brag...i saved up for like 3 years of my earnings!!

[@TheSavantLife]

Good stuff man - enjoy the 390, it's a great bike 🤘

[@ranjiththomas6384]

bro your English is super..nice review as well

[@niteshtamta3332]

His voice is similar to strell’s

[@sanjeevD6177]

i'm the owner of gixxer sf for a year perfect for touring i have done many crazy tours with my bike.gixxer sf is smooth zero vibration even at 100+ but if u wanna hit 115-120 hard to acheive. fun bike great milage more than u expect, on highways 55kmpl great midrange performance.

[@TheSavantLife]

You summed it up perfectly - overall it's a bike that exceeds expectations.

[@RaviRawatOfficial]

Is the any Back pain Issue while taking it for long tours.?? Is it really comfortable

[@richarddejager4877]

I am getting this bike in Blue as my very first bike next week. Can't wait!

[@irfanshady2792]

why are you waving the bike so much bro ??

[@TheSavantLife]

Waving? Not sure I follow. Maybe I just don't like riding in a straight line.

[@irfanshady2792]

+The Savant Life don't forget we call these types of guyz 'squids'

[@mayukhsen8195]

Irfan Shady That's not what squids mean, not even close, do you even ride bro 😂

[@Quismo12]

Maybe to understand its handling characteristics

[@aniket.0189]

This bike has abs

[@adityapatel6147]

Android gaming india in this bike not abs but new version suzuki gixxer fi abs 98000/- have abs

[@leokris7373]

It's my bike gixxer sf red it's an eye-catcher....

[@riyo1648]

I'm bit confused.. I mean is your riding is good or the bike is good?? I mean I'm not a fan of SF but watching your riding I feel the bike too good! Really confusing

[@TheSavantLife]

Ha ha - there's only a couple of ways to find out. Watch somebody else's review video or go and test ride the bike for yourself 😉

[@riyo1648]

The Savant Life hope to get it someday in my hand and Rev it harder. Well, it would be helpful if you make a comparison between SF n Hornet 160r

[@emagelectronics]

Why don't we have the Red colour now? It's not available I've heard from everywhere. They say they've discontinued it?

[@prabhuslegalhub]

you wore gloves but didn't wear riding jacket

[@souravdas1525]

[@TheSavantLife]

Congrats :)

[@ajayadd9973]

[@bhasvanthraj]

Saw ur video, now I have a Gixxer sf Red. Thanks for the review! #thataccenttho

[@kingofvlogs6159]

I think Your speedometer is not working

[@TheSavantLife]

It's a test bike

[@AbhiNash]

What this bike needs is a pair of good clip ons.

[@TheSavantLife]

True that

[@dhavald4359]

clip ons are over hyped. it is not that expensive to put clip ons and it doesn't make that difference in riding, but companies charge premium for it to loot customers.

[@MTMoctor]

No, it doesnt need clipons. You want clipons? Take yourself into a Yamaha showroom and buy the R15.

[@jenilpatel1141]

gixxer sf ...vs.. gixxer sf fi... vs.. hornet 160 cbs... vs... fz fi v2... vs fazer fi ...vs bajaj bikes almost around 100000 all. which one is better? and gixxer sf vs gixxer sf fi me kya different hai pickup, break aur kuch ?

[@marleymason5479]

nice review mate i got the same bike the blue version its great on gas and is easy to maintain. Had mine for just over a year had 2nd service done 12700km done on it.

[@vivekyadav-vt9bl]

is gixer is powerful than pulsar 150???

[@Praveenchander]

Everything is good in ur reviews. Except the way you drive. Why do you keep oscillating the handle. Squids drive like this.

[@mowlarahaman3609]

Maneuverability is not on par with the naked versions? If thats what you thought while riding the SF then you failed to understand the bikes key advantages

[@vinaykk3894]

Is there any heating problem in gixxer sf fi? Is sf fi better than hornet 160r to buy?

[@soumithpenchikala6354]

Bro do u talk English with u r parents also? U r talking nice.

[@rizwanas7]

How much mileage do u get from this bike bro ..??

[@jompukannadiga]

he was saying such a good thing about bike, our typical Indian mentality looks 'oh! shit bike showing 0 on odometer'. anyways nice video buddy

[@tngchinghwa]

speedo at zero so that mileage is zero for the new buyer, what a fucking scam

[@parikshitbasu1723]

Why are you depressing the clutch every time you release throttle? Its not a good practice..

[@melisaa9]

I'm six feet tall Seat Height - 780 mm in gixer sf will it be comfortable to ride or not ? Because I feel the bike is short.. is it a perfect sport model ?? And i feel like it's short so I will get leg pain? Generally every tall person complains about the height or i by myself?? What is your view?

[@litecoinhodler2168]

is this bike good for beginners?plz help..

[@ravichawla03]

I am planning for gixxer or gixxer sf in blue. Please recommend best option for me, my needs are office daily commute and little drives on weekends. But not speeding too much.
