Price as of 2026-10, with BRTA registration. Scores are ours, out of 10. How we rate
Why it wins
- Looks: a full fairing, USD fork and the R-series face. In our quiz's style measure it ties with the GSX-R150 for first place.
- It holds its value: resale 9/10 and reliability 9/10, where the GSX-R150 has 6/10 and 8/10.
- 18.4 PS, 6 gears, 141 kg, discs at both ends with dual-channel ABS. Performance 9/10.
Who it suits
- In our quiz, with the budget set at its own on-road price, it comes first for: a mix of Dhaka and highway riding, rarely a pillion, with style (a sport look) and resale as priorities.
- Riders who want a sport bike that looks the part and will sell well later, and who have the budget for its running costs.
Trade-offs
- The price: ৳6,16,764 on the road, ৳2,72,050 more than the Gixxer SF FI ABS, which looks similar but makes 13.6 PS.
- Hard work in traffic: comfort 4/10, pillion 3/10, and the radiator fan blows heat onto your legs in jams.
- A service costs about ৳3,000 and mechanic familiarity is 6/10. It is a big theft target, so budget for a good lock or a tracker.
