Upgrading the Ride: My Journey from Honda CG125 to Suzuki GS150

Pak Suzuki GS150

For bike lovers, riding is not just a journey, but a passion. I have completed 5000 kms of unforgettable trails on my Honda CG125. This bike performed outclass on every trail, but one thing was always missing, that was comfort.

Honda CG125 is an iconic bike which is famous for reliability and performance. Its lightweight body and powerful engine gave me a smooth ride experience on mountains and plains. But, during the long journey I realized one thing – this bike was not made for touring.

Honda CG125

Price:

Pak Rs. 234800

US$. 845

• Performance: Outclass, be it hilly terrains or highways.

• Comfort: Seat and suspension were a bit uncomfortable for long journeys.

Honda CG125 is perfect for short-distance rides, but if you are traveling 200+ kms, you will want a more comfortable option.

Suzuki GS150: Comfort and Durability Combo

The search for comfort and affordability took me to the Suzuki GS150. The build and specs of this bike are ideal for touring. I purchased this and the experience so far has been quite positive.

• Durability: The frame and design of the GS150 is extra heavy-duty, which is perfect for Pakistani roads.

• Comfort: Wide seat and better suspension system is a boon for long journeys.

• Affordability: Price point is slightly higher than CG125, but worth it for long-term investment.

Suzuki GS150 is an all-rounder bike which is fit for both city rides and touring.

 

Final Verdict: CG125 Vs GS150

If you are looking for a lightweight and economical option for short rides, then Honda CG125 is best for you. But if you want long-distance comfort, durability, and reliability, then the Suzuki GS150 is a better upgrade.

There is only one advice for riders: choose the bike according to your needs. Because in the end, your journey will become memorable only when the ride is smooth and comfortable!
