This is easily the most matured look in entire Discover portfolio. Thankfully, the fairing doesn’t look much like something weird fitment on the front; it blends into the overall design well.
Rest of the design came from its sibling 125ST which comprises of muscular fuel tank, front and rear mudguards, a long seat, silver finished grab rails, plain side cowl, sleek tail piece, LED tail lamp, clear lens indicators, rear monoshock, alloy wheels, front disc brake and the like. The 150F also gets the traditional decals that make it look quite appealing.
