Reviews of Suzuki Gixxer 250

Buying in kolkata was tough. But pretty booking made it easy. Though they actually gave me my smart card in 6 months from buying date. Rides are wonderful and comfortable, also the pillion faces few problems such as the height of the back seat.. If you compare the looks to mt 15 or cb300r it's not as good looking as them but if you compare it to dominar, pulsar, all of the bikes from hero moto corp, or fz25 it's much more elegant and good looking. Servicing is a bit over priced, though i still have my 3rd free servicing left. But the cost of the paid services are much higher than that of duke series.

About the Reviewer

I think it is the best budget bike in this 250cc segment providing a proper riding posture, smooth for city ride ,gentle sound.Look and performance is very nice specially the headlights like the most matte black colour of the bike attract me. Performance very good servicing cost and maintenance is very good that solve.

About the Reviewer

Bike is little bit expensive after bs6 upgrade. But it's riding experience smooth and comfortable. Look very good and stylish. Performance super. Service cost and maintenance little expensive.Pros very good for medium range riding Cons price are expensive.The gixxer 250 looks exactly like the smaller, gixxer 155, which recently received a much-needed makeover and as we discovered in our road test review, the bike does impress. Coming back to the gixxer 250, its identicalness to the smaller one the all-led headlamp unit, instrument cluster and fuel tank are straight off the smaller gixxer is a positive and negative too. While the similarity of design gives it a familiar appearance, the identicalness also robs the 250 of a more premium feel, something that buyers upgrading from the smaller gixxer might look for. That said, the 250 gets matte-finish paint jobs only, while the gixxer 155 can only be had with a glossy paint finish.

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.

About the Reviewer

One of the surprising bike. Very smooth and comfort to ride at any speed below 100km/hr. Look is more better than similar bikes of same specification. Very less maintenance like oil change and general checkup. One thing is slightly affect which is seat height is more than expected. You can buy it surely with no doubt. It has better strength than other bikes.

About the Reviewer

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

Best buying experience...I moved from 150 to 250 cc this Japanese machine felt so premium and enjoyable to ride Looks like an additional part should be added above the tank. otherwise looks muscular and beast
Pros:-
Engine
Mileage
Tires
Engine refinement
Cons:-
Indicator not led
Could have been more muscular

About the Reviewer

Good ride quality, comfortable riding position,looks very sporty, good pickup, great mileage, servicing is good in suzuki showrooms. overall a very good bike for the price tag Pros: economical to maintain and easy handling. Cons: no after market modification spares available and loses performance over time if proper servicing is not done.
