There are no rival of sf 250 it is just best in all the way
2 years ago
Suman Sarkar
Bought this bike in November 2021 , and ride it for 6+ months as of now with odo less than 5000km with 2 services done to date. First of all the buying experience was good, got this bike on the same day I booked it. I did not like its look before the purchase, I just wanted a full fairing bike as I have a previously owned naked fz16 (2014). There are 4 fully-faired bikes in India - r15, gixxer, ktm and apache rr310. I rejected r15 as it is under power and I already have a 150cc bike so wanted to upgrade the cc. Rr310 and ktm were a bit costly for me. So I decided to go for it. But when I saw the bike in front of me in the showroom I just fell in love with it. It looks stunning, fully rocking. Everyone knows it is the most underrated bike due to Suzuki's poor marketing strategy and I loved it because I don't see many bikes the same as mine, feel unique. Now come to the performance. Its pickup is great, very fast, always wanted to rev, smooth buttery engine sound, very refined engine, handling is superb and look wise eye-catching and stunning. Service cost is also too low. It gives me around 35-40 kmpl. The bike price is very low, it costs me 216000. Seating posture is too good, there is no way you can feel any back pain, you have to lean but not that much like r15/ktm. The back seat is very high and that is perfect for a sports bike as I think. The rear tyre is fat 150/60. Overall it is the best 250cc machine in all aspects along with its price tag. I am very much happy with it, it gives me enough pleasure when I ride it. I have not found cons except the one during heavy traffic the wrist of hand feels some pain but that is ok. I must say it is the king of the road. And I want to say to the upcoming r15 buyer, don't go for r15 when you have a 250cc beast in the same price range. Though I believe r15 looks a little better but that doesn't mean sf250 looks ugly. In the end, overall cc, as well as performance, matters the most.

I don't have this bike, but i know everything about this bike,That feeling was very awesome when i first rode this bike, the sound of its pickup is very awesome, this bike run like whole butter, awesome riding experience which i will never forgetIt's look so much awesome like the beast of the road,Cleaning the bike per month, changing oil every 2000 km , and safe drive 1)riding position - the gixxer hands down has one of the best riding positions out there in the market. It does not only give a sporty feeling but also is very comfortable as well. The sorted ergonomics mean that all types of riding can be done easily on the bike. Be it just normal cruising or even some aggressive runs as well.2)although the suzuki gixxer sf 250 may look sporty, it is quite a comfortable bike to ride. The clip-on handlebars are raised, so the rider doesn’t have to crouch low while riding. Also, the foot pegs are positioned in a neutral manner, which means the riding position is slightly sporty yet comfortable, ensuring that long hours on the gixxer sf 250 isn’t as tiring as one would expect. Swing a leg over the saddle and you won’t find the 800mm seat height too tall. While it is the tallest in its segment, even 5’6’’ rider can easily flat foot the bike.

Premium quarter-liter segment that made for your all rounder performance.
2 years ago
Rahul
1. Buying experience was very good.2. Riding experience is upto the mark. In highway it is very much stable to clock triple digits speed. But in city it feels slightly on the heavier side when you filter through city traffic.3. The 249.3 cc motor that pack with power and mileage. In this premium quarter-liter segment who are looking for a all rounder package here's the search end. On highways it can easily maintain triple digits speed with a decent mileage. And look wise it's a head turner machine. When I ride this machine everyone makes a look on it. I have the suzuki 100th year anniversary moto gp colour scheme. For that this bike looks like a big bike. 4. But here i little disappointed. Suzuki's spare parts are not easily available in the market. You find spare parts most of the time but sometimes you have to wait for spares. But maintenance is too cheap. I just did the 1st service with a 1400 rs bill. I used Castrol power 1 ultimate 20w50 for my motorcycle.5. Pros:• looks are the up to the mark.• performance is enough for your all rounder performance.• braking are superb and handling on a stiffer side that decrease your comfort but increase your handling with a dual channel abs set up.Cons:• missed out led indicator.• little windscreen is not helps much when you are on highway.• assist and slipper clutch are missed out.

I used Castrol power 1 ultimate 20w50. It's working very well. Stock MRF tyres are good but not upto the mark. For better performance use Michelin road 5 or Bridgestone or Apollo alpha. A dirty chain is the cause of increasing vibration. So always try to maintain your chain. Check clutch free play and maintain your brakes frequently. Before every driving you should check your tyre pressure.

Suzuki bagged the bike of the year award with sf 250
2 years ago
Shounak Ghosh
Well I am the 1st buyer of sf 250 moto gp in my state. There is no better bike than sf 250 in the quarter litre sport bike segment. This bike is solely responsible for uprooting Honda cbr from the indian market. As I have owned a cbr 250 also, I can easily say sf 250 is much better. The engine is smoother and more refined, looks much better than cbr and ktm RC which look too bad after the bs6 update. Only R15 v3 is close to the looks but v3 is ridiculously expensive as a 150 cc bike.Coming to the performance, it is gonna be 2 years now from the date of purchase and this bike never had any major or minor breakdown apart from the battery issue in lockdown. It can be easily used for your daily city rides. With a ground clearance of 165 mm, it absorbs the bumps smoothly. On a track or even on highway, you can touch 150 easily on the speedometer. I have even gone to the beach side of my state riding it for 4 hours. I have not felt any pain. With the stock tyres of MRF revz, it is the best bike as RCs also come with the same stock tyre now after the bs6 update and R15 v3 and even ninja 300 have MRF zappers as stock tyres which will last for hardly 2 years. The only bike better than it is RR 310 which has become a dream bike after the bs6 update but the only reason I didn't buy it was the unavailability of the blue colour. Finally, I must conclude that my biggest satisfaction came when my mom could sit on the sf 250 comfortably that she could never do on the cbr for 6 years

Suzuki gixxer pro
1 year ago
Krishna
The suzuki gixxer 250 is an ideal motorcycle for anyone who is looking for a city-friendly vehicle beyond the 100cc-150cc space. It packs a good amount of mid and top-end performance while its handling prowess further aids its case. The original gixxer was a splendid motorcycle and one that we really enjoyed. This one offers an experience along the same lines, but with the welcome addition of that extra performance, we’ve been craving for all these years.

A best in class for 250cc motorcycle and definitely for a matured riders who needs riding comfort as well as sporty look with good pickup
2 years ago
Chandu
I went to buy r15 initially and find it very uncomfortable and for 155cc bike i didn't want to spend that much amount, so thought to check on gixxer sf250. Fell in love on the very first glance with silver triton colour. I've booked the bike in the noon and delivered in the evening.Riding experience: bike performance was very smooth and seating position for rider was very comfortable. I went on a road trip for 300 kms recently, till 200kms on a single go I didn't find any problem with seating. I've done a top speed of 151 kmph on express highway and bike was very smooth till 120 km/h and pickup was very good. Easy to control and easy to maintain. In city I used to get mileage of 35 km/l and on highway I've got approx. of 33 km/l because of speed factor where I've constantly driven over 130 kmph over an period of 90 minutes.Pros : good looking, very comfortable, mileage, maintenance, pickup, smoothness, controlling.Cons : instrument cluster is very basic, horn sound is like scooty, bit noisy on gears shifting, rear brake could be better, visor could be little big bigger,

Best city bike in the 250cc segment
1 year ago
Sj
Pros:This is the best city bike in the 250cc segment. Extremely fun to ride if you like speed and acceleration. Good braking, abs. Try using nitrogen in both tires, castrol/motul/ecstar engine oil (every 6 months of service), and speed 97 fuel - it is clearly the fastest vehicle on the road! (given there are no ktms around). Can easily reach 150 kmph on highways. Long rides >300 kms are enjoyable but can give you backache if your posture is incorrect. The design is very sporty and eye-catching, other commuters will admire your bike on the road and at traffic signals and ask about the model and price.Cons: Gear shifting is slightly hard. Quickshifting can be a great addition in the future.

Bought this bike in November 2021 , and ride it for 6+ months as of now with odo less than 5000km with 2 services done to date. First of all the buying experience was good, got this bike on the same day I booked it. I did not like its look before the purchase, I just wanted a full fairing bike as I have a previously owned naked fz16 (2014). There are 4 fully-faired bikes in India - r15, gixxer, ktm and apache rr310. I rejected r15 as it is under power and I already have a 150cc bike so wanted to upgrade the cc. Rr310 and ktm were a bit costly for me. So I decided to go for it. But when I saw the bike in front of me in the showroom I just fell in love with it. It looks stunning, fully rocking. Everyone knows it is the most underrated bike due to Suzuki's poor marketing strategy and I loved it because I don't see many bikes the same as mine, feel unique. Now come to the performance. Its pickup is great, very fast, always wanted to rev, smooth buttery engine sound, very refined engine, handling is superb and look wise eye-catching and stunning. Service cost is also too low. It gives me around 35-40 kmpl. The bike price is very low, it costs me 216000. Seating posture is too good, there is no way you can feel any back pain, you have to lean but not that much like r15/ktm. The back seat is very high and that is perfect for a sports bike as I think. The rear tyre is fat 150/60. Overall it is the best 250cc machine in all aspects along with its price tag. I am very much happy with it, it gives me enough pleasure when I ride it. I have not found cons except the one during heavy traffic the wrist of hand feels some pain but that is ok. I must say it is the king of the road. And I want to say to the upcoming r15 buyer, don't go for r15 when you have a 250cc beast in the same price range. Though I believe r15 looks a little better but that doesn't mean sf250 looks ugly. In the end, overall cc, as well as performance, matters the most.

I don't have this bike, but i know everything about this bike,That feeling was very awesome when i first rode this bike, the sound of its pickup is very awesome, this bike run like whole butter, awesome riding experience which i will never forgetIt's look so much awesome like the beast of the road,Cleaning the bike per month, changing oil every 2000 km , and safe drive 1)riding position - the gixxer hands down has one of the best riding positions out there in the market. It does not only give a sporty feeling but also is very comfortable as well. The sorted ergonomics mean that all types of riding can be done easily on the bike. Be it just normal cruising or even some aggressive runs as well.2)although the suzuki gixxer sf 250 may look sporty, it is quite a comfortable bike to ride. The clip-on handlebars are raised, so the rider doesn’t have to crouch low while riding. Also, the foot pegs are positioned in a neutral manner, which means the riding position is slightly sporty yet comfortable, ensuring that long hours on the gixxer sf 250 isn’t as tiring as one would expect. Swing a leg over the saddle and you won’t find the 800mm seat height too tall. While it is the tallest in its segment, even 5’6’’ rider can easily flat foot the bike.

Premium quarter-liter segment that made for your all rounder performance.
2 years ago
Rahul
1. Buying experience was very good.2. Riding experience is upto the mark. In highway it is very much stable to clock triple digits speed. But in city it feels slightly on the heavier side when you filter through city traffic.3. The 249.3 cc motor that pack with power and mileage. In this premium quarter-liter segment who are looking for a all rounder package here's the search end. On highways it can easily maintain triple digits speed with a decent mileage. And look wise it's a head turner machine. When I ride this machine everyone makes a look on it. I have the suzuki 100th year anniversary moto gp colour scheme. For that this bike looks like a big bike. 4. But here i little disappointed. Suzuki's spare parts are not easily available in the market. You find spare parts most of the time but sometimes you have to wait for spares. But maintenance is too cheap. I just did the 1st service with a 1400 rs bill. I used Castrol power 1 ultimate 20w50 for my motorcycle.5. Pros:• looks are the up to the mark.• performance is enough for your all rounder performance.• braking are superb and handling on a stiffer side that decrease your comfort but increase your handling with a dual channel abs set up.Cons:• missed out led indicator.• little windscreen is not helps much when you are on highway.• assist and slipper clutch are missed out.

I used Castrol power 1 ultimate 20w50. It's working very well. Stock MRF tyres are good but not upto the mark. For better performance use Michelin road 5 or Bridgestone or Apollo alpha. A dirty chain is the cause of increasing vibration. So always try to maintain your chain. Check clutch free play and maintain your brakes frequently. Before every driving you should check your tyre pressure.

Suzuki bagged the bike of the year award with sf 250
2 years ago
Shounak Ghosh
Well I am the 1st buyer of sf 250 moto gp in my state. There is no better bike than sf 250 in the quarter litre sport bike segment. This bike is solely responsible for uprooting Honda cbr from the indian market. As I have owned a cbr 250 also, I can easily say sf 250 is much better. The engine is smoother and more refined, looks much better than cbr and ktm RC which look too bad after the bs6 update. Only R15 v3 is close to the looks but v3 is ridiculously expensive as a 150 cc bike.Coming to the performance, it is gonna be 2 years now from the date of purchase and this bike never had any major or minor breakdown apart from the battery issue in lockdown. It can be easily used for your daily city rides. With a ground clearance of 165 mm, it absorbs the bumps smoothly. On a track or even on highway, you can touch 150 easily on the speedometer. I have even gone to the beach side of my state riding it for 4 hours. I have not felt any pain. With the stock tyres of MRF revz, it is the best bike as RCs also come with the same stock tyre now after the bs6 update and R15 v3 and even ninja 300 have MRF zappers as stock tyres which will last for hardly 2 years. The only bike better than it is RR 310 which has become a dream bike after the bs6 update but the only reason I didn't buy it was the unavailability of the blue colour. Finally, I must conclude that my biggest satisfaction came when my mom could sit on the sf 250 comfortably that she could never do on the cbr for 6 years

Suzuki gixxer pro
1 year ago
Krishna
The suzuki gixxer 250 is an ideal motorcycle for anyone who is looking for a city-friendly vehicle beyond the 100cc-150cc space. It packs a good amount of mid and top-end performance while its handling prowess further aids its case. The original gixxer was a splendid motorcycle and one that we really enjoyed. This one offers an experience along the same lines, but with the welcome addition of that extra performance, we’ve been craving for all these years.

A best in class for 250cc motorcycle and definitely for a matured riders who needs riding comfort as well as sporty look with good pickup
2 years ago
Chandu
I went to buy r15 initially and find it very uncomfortable and for 155cc bike i didn't want to spend that much amount, so thought to check on gixxer sf250. Fell in love on the very first glance with silver triton colour. I've booked the bike in the noon and delivered in the evening.Riding experience: bike performance was very smooth and seating position for rider was very comfortable. I went on a road trip for 300 kms recently, till 200kms on a single go I didn't find any problem with seating. I've done a top speed of 151 kmph on express highway and bike was very smooth till 120 km/h and pickup was very good. Easy to control and easy to maintain. In city I used to get mileage of 35 km/l and on highway I've got approx. of 33 km/l because of speed factor where I've constantly driven over 130 kmph over an period of 90 minutes.Pros : good looking, very comfortable, mileage, maintenance, pickup, smoothness, controlling.Cons : instrument cluster is very basic, horn sound is like scooty, bit noisy on gears shifting, rear brake could be better, visor could be little big bigger,

Best city bike in the 250cc segment
1 year ago
Sj
Pros:This is the best city bike in the 250cc segment. Extremely fun to ride if you like speed and acceleration. Good braking, abs. Try using nitrogen in both tires, castrol/motul/ecstar engine oil (every 6 months of service), and speed 97 fuel - it is clearly the fastest vehicle on the road! (given there are no ktms around). Can easily reach 150 kmph on highways. Long rides >300 kms are enjoyable but can give you backache if your posture is incorrect. The design is very sporty and eye-catching, other commuters will admire your bike on the road and at traffic signals and ask about the model and price.Cons: Gear shifting is slightly hard. Quickshifting can be a great addition in the future.

Bought this bike in November 2021 , and ride it for 6+ months as of now with odo less than 5000km with 2 services done to date. First of all the buying experience was good, got this bike on the same day I booked it. I did not like its look before the purchase, I just wanted a full fairing bike as I have a previously owned naked fz16 (2014). There are 4 fully-faired bikes in India - r15, gixxer, ktm and apache rr310. I rejected r15 as it is under power and I already have a 150cc bike so wanted to upgrade the cc.

I have not found cons except the one during heavy traffic the wrist of hand feels some pain but that is ok. I must say it is the king of the road. And I want to say to the upcoming r15 buyer, don't go for r15 when you have a 250cc beast in the same price range. Though I believe r15 looks a little better but that doesn't mean sf250 looks ugly. In the end, overall cc, as well as performance, matters the most.

Awesome review
2 years ago
Subhrajyoti Sau
I don't have this bike, but i know everything about this bike,That feeling was very awesome when i first rode this bike, the sound of its pickup is very awesome, this bike run like whole butter, awesome riding experience which i will never forgetIt's look so much awesome like the beast of the road,Cleaning the bike per month, changing oil every 2000 km , and safe drive 1)riding position - the gixxer hands down has one of the best riding positions out there in the market. It does not only give a sporty feeling but also is very comfortable as well. The sorted ergonomics mean that all types of riding can be done easily on the bike. Be it just normal cruising or even some aggressive runs as well.2)although the suzuki gixxer sf 250 may look sporty, it is quite a comfortable bike to ride. The clip-on handlebars are raised, so the rider doesn’t have to crouch low while riding. Also, the foot pegs are positioned in a neutral manner, which means the riding position is slightly sporty yet comfortable, ensuring that long hours on the gixxer sf 250 isn’t as tiring as one would expect. Swing a leg over the saddle and you won’t find the 800mm seat height too tall. While it is the tallest in its segment, even 5’6’’ rider can easily flat foot the bike.

Premium quarter-liter segment that made for your all rounder performance.
2 years ago
Rahul
1. Buying experience was very good.2. Riding experience is upto the mark. In highway it is very much stable to clock triple digits speed. But in city it feels slightly on the heavier side when you filter through city traffic.3. The 249.3 cc motor that pack with power and mileage. In this premium quarter-liter segment who are looking for a all rounder package here's the search end. On highways it can easily maintain triple digits speed with a decent mileage. And look wise it's a head turner machine. When I ride this machine everyone makes a look on it. I have the suzuki 100th year anniversary moto gp colour scheme. For that this bike looks like a big bike. 4. But here i little disappointed. Suzuki's spare parts are not easily available in the market. You find spare parts most of the time but sometimes you have to wait for spares. But maintenance is too cheap. I just did the 1st service with a 1400 rs bill. I used Castrol power 1 ultimate 20w50 for my motorcycle.5. Pros:• looks are the up to the mark.• performance is enough for your all rounder performance.• braking are superb and handling on a stiffer side that decrease your comfort but increase your handling with a dual channel abs set up.Cons:• missed out led indicator.• little windscreen is not helps much when you are on highway.• assist and slipper clutch are missed out.

I used Castrol power 1 ultimate 20w50. It's working very well. Stock MRF tyres are good but not upto the mark. For better performance use Michelin road 5 or Bridgestone or Apollo alpha. A dirty chain is the cause of increasing vibration. So always try to maintain your chain. Check clutch free play and maintain your brakes frequently. Before every driving you should check your tyre pressure.

Suzuki bagged the bike of the year award with sf 250
2 years ago
Shounak Ghosh
Well I am the 1st buyer of sf 250 moto gp in my state. There is no better bike than sf 250 in the quarter litre sport bike segment. This bike is solely responsible for uprooting Honda cbr from the indian market. As I have owned a cbr 250 also, I can easily say sf 250 is much better. The engine is smoother and more refined, looks much better than cbr and ktm RC which look too bad after the bs6 update. Only R15 v3 is close to the looks but v3 is ridiculously expensive as a 150 cc bike.Coming to the performance, it is gonna be 2 years now from the date of purchase and this bike never had any major or minor breakdown apart from the battery issue in lockdown. It can be easily used for your daily city rides. With a ground clearance of 165 mm, it absorbs the bumps smoothly. On a track or even on highway, you can touch 150 easily on the speedometer. I have even gone to the beach side of my state riding it for 4 hours. I have not felt any pain. With the stock tyres of MRF revz, it is the best bike as RCs also come with the same stock tyre now after the bs6 update and R15 v3 and even ninja 300 have MRF zappers as stock tyres which will last for hardly 2 years. The only bike better than it is RR 310 which has become a dream bike after the bs6 update but the only reason I didn't buy it was the unavailability of the blue colour. Finally, I must conclude that my biggest satisfaction came when my mom could sit on the sf 250 comfortably that she could never do on the cbr for 6 years

Suzuki gixxer pro
1 year ago
Krishna
The suzuki gixxer 250 is an ideal motorcycle for anyone who is looking for a city-friendly vehicle beyond the 100cc-150cc space. It packs a good amount of mid and top-end performance while its handling prowess further aids its case. The original gixxer was a splendid motorcycle and one that we really enjoyed. This one offers an experience along the same lines, but with the welcome addition of that extra performance, we’ve been craving for all these years.

A best in class for 250cc motorcycle and definitely for a matured riders who needs riding comfort as well as sporty look with good pickup
2 years ago
Chandu
I went to buy r15 initially and find it very uncomfortable and for 155cc bike i didn't want to spend that much amount, so thought to check on gixxer sf250. Fell in love on the very first glance with silver triton colour. I've booked the bike in the noon and delivered in the evening.Riding experience: bike performance was very smooth and seating position for rider was very comfortable. I went on a road trip for 300 kms recently, till 200kms on a single go I didn't find any problem with seating. I've done a top speed of 151 kmph on express highway and bike was very smooth till 120 km/h and pickup was very good. Easy to control and easy to maintain. In city I used to get mileage of 35 km/l and on highway I've got approx. of 33 km/l because of speed factor where I've constantly driven over 130 kmph over an period of 90 minutes.Pros : good looking, very comfortable, mileage, maintenance, pickup, smoothness, controlling.Cons : instrument cluster is very basic, horn sound is like scooty, bit noisy on gears shifting, rear brake could be better, visor could be little big bigger,

Must change horn and visor, it will add more sheerness to bike if we fix an led mirror indicators.

Best city bike in the 250cc segment
1 year ago
Sj
Pros:This is the best city bike in the 250cc segment. Extremely fun to ride if you like speed and acceleration. Good braking, abs. Try using nitrogen in both tires, castrol/motul/ecstar engine oil (every 6 months of service), and speed 97 fuel - it is clearly the fastest vehicle on the road! (given there are no ktms around). Can easily reach 150 kmph on highways. Long rides >300 kms are enjoyable but can give you backache if your posture is incorrect. The design is very sporty and eye-catching, other commuters will admire your bike on the road and at traffic signals and ask about the model and price.Cons: Gear shifting is slightly hard. Quickshifting can be a great addition in the future.
