The Pulsar AS 150 and Gixxer SF are two of the latest models from Bajaj and Suzuki respectively. The motorcycles are equipped with contemporary technology, and are designed keeping the requirements of different riders in mind. Bajaj has built the AS 150 to undertake or at least fit the profile of a dual-role bike — one as a commuter within the city, and the other to go on adventures over the weekend.

Under its skin, Suzuki's Gixxer SF is essentially the very capable Gixxer. The Gixxer SF is as adept as the previous model, but now has the added benefit of a fully faired design. Suzuki recently announced their Gixxer SF Cup, a one-make series to take place soon at two of India’s top race tracks, the Irungattukottai Race Track outside Chennai and the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore, clearly stating the brand’s sporty intent for its Gixxer SF.

Let’s take a look at how the two motorcycles perform.
