Looks and design
Since the suzuki gixer design and looks have been influenced from the yamaha fzs itself, both of them have a common design and looks. The silencer is the main attraction in the suzuki gixer but yamaha fzs has a bulky look due to its fuel tank which rises bit more than the gixer. In conclusion, yamaha fzs edges suzuki gixer very sligthly.

Technology
Both, the bikes are rich in technology.The display cluster of both bikes have similar features. Suzuki gixer has better display as it consists of the clock and it also displays the current gear position which makes them better.
Talking about the technology, Fzs have used the Fuel injected technology in its blue core engine with sensors which is better than gixer.They also have the eco meter which indicates the economy mode driving and they have also included a sensor which stops the engine within 3 seconds after you bike falls or crashes down.So in this context too Yamaha uses the better technology than gixer.

Driving and Riding comfort
Yamaha Fzs edges out Suzuki gixer slightly in driving comfort. Fzs has the flat tyres whereas the tyres are rounded a bit in gixer which makes Fzs a bit smoother and safe during rainy days.
Yamaha fzs is much better in riding comfort espcially in he pillon seat.If you prefer long drive often with someone in the pilon seat, you should definetly go for the Yamaha Fzs. The pillion seat of the Suzuki gixer is the main setback for the bike in comaparision to the Fzs.

Intrumental cluster and Engine
