The bike is notorious for its high fuel consumption, sudden braking and short interval between oil changes. However, the bike's acceleration and agility is far surpassing other common 4-stroke motorcycles in the country.
The first type was released in 1998, with the second and third following in 2002 and 2004. the 4-stroke type was released in 2004 and new models are being released every year. The 2-stroke model (Satria 120 - 120 cc) stopped being sold in 2006. Its successor released in 2004 is named F-150 (known, elsewhere, as the Suzuki Raider 150).
F-150 Features
Twin Cam / DOHC(Double Overhead Camshafts) 147cc engine, SCEM (Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material) cylinder, SACS (Suzuki Advanced Cooling System), rear disc brake, 290mm front disc brake
Advantages
Suzuki Satria series, especially F-150 is capable reaching high speed in short time. The 147cc engine made F-150 is the biggest underbone motorcycle among underbone motorcycles released in Indonesia. Because using SCEM, F-150 is relatively light for such engine so it provides better handling. Larger front disc brake and rear disc brake gave plus points to safety.
