Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 Price in Ramanagara

Bought it in Bangalore and the process was hassle-free. The best part is its ride quality and the smoothness that it gives in spite of 250cc is amazing. It is for sure a head-turner on the road, especially the matte black one.
Service cost is minimal compared to other brands. People are very friendly at the showroom and will for a sure guide if there is something additional that needs to be looked upon.
Overall a great package for the city and long rides. I for sure will recommend this bike and suggest all of you reading this to at least do a test ride to know the actual experience.

About the Reviewer

Its a perfect all rounder bike for younger generation, I own 2 gixxer sf250 in the family. The refinement is in par or better compared to yamaha or honda 250 cc bikes.
I would suggest to be careful during the first 2.5-3k kilometers to limit the speed under 80 km/h. I know it is frustrating but the magic happens once the unofficial break-in period is over.
This pickup is very mature and reached 100 in no time, I would recommend to use on straight highways, city riding may be painful for taller riders due to the aggressive position.
The mileage is around -35 to 40 km/l 4 valve dohc engine, to summarize if you are short or medium height, under 35 years of age , and an all-rounder bike and do not plan to change for the next 15 years, this bike is for you.

Buying experience
I bought this bike on march 2022 from malappuram suzuki showroom in kerala. I got it for 218000 on road. I choose the bike delivered in the showroom 2 days back, with a manufacturing date within a month (to avoid getting possibly misused bike). The delivery experience was really nice.
Riding experience
It is a perfect bike for those who want just one bike for both daily, and city use and for weekly touring. It has decent low-end torque which makes it easy to ride in cities. Just release the clutch in first gear, and the bike will go at 12 kmph speed without touching the accelerator (in 2nd gear, at 18 kmph). It has good ground clearance, so coupled with good low-end torque helps in handling mild off-roads as well. On the highway, you can tour all day at 90 to 120 kmph without any vibrations. After 120, you'll feel little vibes in the foot pegs and seats, and it can reach up to 154 kmph at which the rpm limiter kicks in. The seating position is very comfortable for a sports bike, so long-distance touring is not an issue.
Looks, performance, etc.
It looks superb from the sides and back. I'm not a great fan of its front design as it is a little lowered (inspired from katana's design). But if you put on a tall visor, this problem might get solved. The headlight is very good. Even low beam gives you good visibility. The performance is very decent, and you'll be able to beat most vehicles in the road in terms of acceleration. I tested its mileage multiple times, and i always got in the range of 38 to 41. For me, it has the perfect balance between performance and mileage.
Servicing and maintenance
It is the cheapest 250cc to maintain. As it is the only bike with a fully oil-cooled system (let me tell you, it is suzuki's patented technology, and even better than many liquid cooling systems found in other bikes in this segment), there is no need for coolant, and no oil-coolant mixing issue (very common in ktms and bajaj). It cost me around 1100 rupees for 1st service and less than 900 rupees for the second service.
Pros and cons
Definitely, the pros outweigh the cons. I already mentioned every major pro. Now coming to the cons. It's wind visor is too small, but you can find many after-market options (rr310's visor is a good option). Being a sohc engine, there is a little bit of vibration at higher rpms (above 6-7k), but not a big issue (i think only those used to honda and yamaha bikes will notice this). Gear shift is precise, but a little hard (but you won't notice it if you use good footwear). Back seat is comfortable but positioned a little higher, so climbing is a little difficult.
Conclusion -> it is a seriously underrated machine. I'd say you must take a test ride of this beast if you're planning to buy a bike under 2.5 lakhs.
