Suzuki Gixxer 250 Price in Sikar

This is a great all rounder for someone starting out and they do not want anything too intimidating , too flashy or in the face with the design or the tech on offer. This flows under the radar with it's simple design, and somber colours on choice. I've clocked over 48K on the odo covering almost all of uttarakahnd, Amritsar, Indore, Jaipur and many other places on this. I've toured alone with luggage and with a pillion + luggage setup as well. This motorcycle performs flawless in any weather conditions and with basic maintenance and some useful mods like Fog lamps, tail rack, you can greatly increase the usability of the bike. Sure it's not as powerful or tech laden the counterparts, but it's exactly where it shines. It's the Basics done right! It's a delightful riding experience that helps you hone your skill as a motorcyclist and Suzuki has done an amazing job with the tractability of the engine. The bike has never run hot even in the scorching heat of M.P upwards of 47 degrees ( I was travelling from Delhi to Indore). It could use a facelift upgrading to better quality forks and a bigger fuel tank for an increased range, the stock heaadlight unit can be improved by a lot and the aftermarket for it's accessories is a questionable. You'll have to search around a lot if you want something specific to be done but overall it's a great beginner friendly machine for someone just starting out wanting something simple and no nonsense not attracting too much attention or looking for a secondary motorcycle to do the daily runs while being easy on the pocket.
Pros-
-Bare minimum tech, less things to go wrong
- Legendary reliability, and easy on the pocket even for students
- A great way of approaching and overcoming the learning curve
- Simple design, minimum to no graphic stickering
- Good FE
- Good Cruiser for highways and Office runs
- A simple, fun ,riding machine guaranteed to give you a huge smile on your face
- Good corner carver, Pegs can seem to scrape but that's all right
- rock stable even at 120+, inspiring confidence
Cons-
- Pricing is a big factor when considering this motorcycle, I feel Suzuki could give a bit more equipment like -
- better forks ( After clocking 48k on the odo, I wish This bike had bigger and better quality forks for my highway duties)
- a stronger headlight unit ( I fixed it by installing aftermarket foglamps)
- LED turn indicators ( swapped the bulbs for LED units in the existing assembly)
- Bit more info on the speedo like distance to empty or AVG FE ( although I'm good at math but I' m human too)
- Aftersales support and servicing still needs a huge improvement and also what deters buyers from considering it ( a constant headache as mechanics are not well trained )
- With the new emission norms, fuel tank needs to be increased to 13-14 L compared to the existing 12. ( range is on par with the other motorcycles of this class, but can be improved upon).
Except for a few niggles, this an absolutely fantastic piece of engineering and I would gladly recommend anyone willing to live with a few trade offs and who wants a genuine riding experience with not too much drama, this bike will do it all and will take a beating as well. At the end of the day you decide what you will do with the motorcycle and how it makes you feel.
Cheers, happy riding folks :)

About the Reviewer

1) waiting period of almost 15 days
2) ride mostly comfortably in the city as well as on the highway
3) design is very bulky and sleek from the rear, feels like a fully sports bike, giving the lowest time 0-100 in the segment
4 ) lightweight, easy handling at corners, higher ground clearance, shortest wheelbase
5) almost 1.2k per service cost includes engine oil at 3-4k km
6) spare availability may be a major con, a slipper clutch is not available, usd folk should be needed in a premium bike.
