Frame size.

Darren Vickers · 10-11-2010, 11:25 AM

Hi guys,

posted yesterday that i was getting a Suzuki GZ 150 over here in china.

one thing i wanted to know, is the frame the same size on the 125, 150 and 250 machines ?

I am 5' 10" and 90KG ,am worried the bike may be a bit small for me, i am used to riding quite bike machines ( Triumph Bonnies, BMW R75, Harleys etc.)

Price i paid for bike is 10,800 RMB / £1017.48 / $1619.20 and 1500 RMB / £150 / $225 for registration and insurance is 200 RMB / £18.84 / $29.98 for one year.

comes with hard panniers / bag support rails, sissy bar and rack. forward engine bars as standard.

have uploaded a pic direct from Suzuki china website.

what do you think ?

regards
Darren

as far as i know the GZ125 and 250 have the same size frame but i couldn't tell you about the 150 but from the picture (-nice looking by the way-) it looks fairly similar

We have riders here that are north of 6 foot and don't find it uncomfortable at all so i'd say you'll be fine

I'm 5-9 and ~75 kg - no problems at all

Hard bags, backrest sissy bar and awesome looking crashbar (also rear bar). Nice!

That is a nice looking bike,comes with lots of accessorizes.Looks very similar to the 250. :2tup: :rawk:

I think you'll be fine for commutes up to 60 miles. If you start to feel cramped, you can always sit on the pillion. That price is dirt cheap!

Since nobody here even knew a 150 existed before yesterday........I doubt that you will get any good answers from us.

Just from the picture, it LOOKS the same......and some quite large riders with the 250 have no problem with the size.

I think Suzuki has a "do it all frame" for their smaller bikes. 125,150,250 and the 250 V-twin probably share the basic frame for economical manufacturing. Rider size probably won't be an issue unless you are well above the norm or well below the norm.
