Suzuki Fiero - The Forgotten Fire


Suzuki Fiero was the first 150cc 4-Stroke bike launched in India. The Bike was the best 150c bikes of that time. Even when the CBZ powered with an 156cc, it can produce an output power of oly 12.8bhp. where as the TVS Fiero with 147.5cc produced an alarming 12bhp more or less similar to CBZ. even though CBZ gained the market, the Fiero won the tracks.

The Quality also outperformed which was not faded by CBZ. but after the launch of Pulsar Twins(150 and 180) the entire story changed.

Pulsar came up with the same 12Bhp overtook both CBZ and Fiero with its muscular body and latest design.

Even though Suzuki lost its market, it was in a position likes by all the Indians. Even today it stands as a classic bike in the hearts of Indians.

Specifications:
  1. Engine Displacement: 147.5cc
  2. Engine type: 4 Stroke, SOHC
  3. Output power: 12Bhp@7500rpm
  4. Engine torque: 10.5nm@6500rpm
  5. Fuel Capacity: 13Ltrs
  6. Weight: 115Kgs(dry)/127Kgs(wet)
  7. Gear: 5 Speed
  8. Top Speed: 110Kmph
Even now there is a better name for the Suzuki Fiero and the same was expected in GS150R.

Until now no bike has come in the market as good as Fiero except Unicorn which sacrificed the engine power.

Cheers!!!
