More on the Suzuki 150 for India


Just a little thought...

Suzuki sells a step-thru called the Raider 150 in the Philippines.
The engine specs are as follows:
Displacement: 147.3 cc
Maximum Power: 11.93 kW (16.0HP) @9500 rpm
Maximum Torque: 11.27 N.m (1.27 Kgf-m) @8500 rpm
Weight: 106 kg.

Can Suzuki use the Raider's engine with some tuning and get the power upto 18odd bhp? The 150cc segment is on a fire guys. Ok, here is more than. I posted a while ago about the FXR150 from Suzuki. The Raider 150 uses the same bloody engine that was on the FXR150! Ofcourse the engine is detuned to meet emission norms and return good fuel economy.

It all makes sense. It seems the Suzuki 150 due for India will basically use the FXR150 engine, retuned for efficiency and meeting emission norms but pumped up with fuel injection....
