Suzuki Bandit 150 Spotted Testing for the 1st Time in Indonesia

Suzuki seems ready with a long-term, number enhancing plan for their international lineup. The recently spotted and almost entirely camouflaged motorcycle that Iwanbanaran expects to be Suzuki Bandit 150 is a big reason of worry for their rivals. Suzuki has two different engines under this category, one being specific to India and another one to the remaining South Asian market. This motorcycle will most probably carry the 149cc engine as Indonesian market already has two products based on this engine category. Suzuki GSX-S150 serves as an inspiration for this model as the side profile, especially the fuel tank area, resembles the lightweight street fighter.
