Please see I had following needs: -
1. Good & Tireless Runner - should not get tired of running at high speed in traffic on a hot day
2. Good Quality Manufacturing
3. Fuel Economy
4. Bike with Height (as I am heavy and tall - my pillion rider too; both 6 feet and each around 110 kgs)
5. Comfortable Seat (both driver and pillion rider)
6. Comfortable Stable Drive
7. Self Start
8. Handle Lock placed at ignition
9. Fuel Gauge in speedometer
10. Low noise levels
11. Disk Brakes
12. Complete After Sales Service
13. Universal Availability of Genuine Spare Parts
14. Universal Availability of Qualified Mechanics
SUZUKI GS150 does not fulfill my needs listed at serials 2, 5, 6, 8,11, 12, 13 & 14. Now that is 57% less fulfilment of my NEEDS - that too at a dearer price!!! If we assign value to mylist of NEEDS then I find SUZUKI GS150 missing my critical needs. That means the value of difference ratio of 57% gets compounded!! (Mind you, I have not included [B][I]resale[/I] aspect in this analysis!!!)
I believe cost benefit ratio will creep towards equilibrium if SUZUKI drops GS150 price by same percentage. That seems unlikely. Therefore, this product seems to have become a [B][I]liability - even for SUZUKI[/I]. These calculations are for my personal use only. However, since you all are contributing with sincerity and empathy therefore, I felt it imperative to share my workings with you good lot as well Please see that results will be different for every person because of our unique preferences.
I tend to go with bhai Gul Sb. as he has actually used a product and has [B]first hand experience. However, I keep every opinion in high regard. Many thanks again.
Kind regards
