<p>According to the report, the bike slightly resembles the <a href="https://indianautosblog.com/2017/11/customised-suzuki-gsx-s150-2017-thai-motor-show-291982">Suzuki GSX-S150 street naked</a>. An Iwanbanaran reader spotted the test mule in the Jonggol - Cilengsi - Cikarang area of Indonesia. Unlike the previous spotting, where only the rear section is visible, the new spy images display the front and side profile of the bike.</p>
<p>According to the publication, the headlight gets LED elements and is a new unit as compared to the GSX-S150. However, the side profile and fuel tank design is mostly similar to the street naked, claims the publication. According to the spy images, the upcoming Suzuki Bandit 150 gets a single-piece seat and grab rails for the pillion.</p>
<p>The upswept exhaust system is similar to the <a href="https://indianautosblog.com/2017/08/suzuki-gsx-s150-touring-edition-giias-277859">Suzuki GSX-S150</a>; however, it gets a metal cover for protection against heat. The report claims that the headlamp assembly is identical to the <a href="https://indianautosblog.com/2017/08/suzuki-address-black-predator-and-suzuki-satria-f150-giias-2017-277937">Suzuki Satria F150</a>, a performance moto-scooter that receives a 150cc, fuel injected engine. The Suzuki Bandit 150 is likely to be a comfortable touring motorcycle, claims Iwanbanaran.</p>
<p>Speaking about the engine, the Bandit 150 will source power from the same engine that drives the Suzuki GSX S-150. The 147.3 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel injected engine develops 19 bhp of max power at 11,000 rpm and 13.9 Nm of peak torque at 8,500 rpm on the GSX S-150. The engine pairs with a 6-speed transmission.</p>
