Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 Price in Tiruchirappalli

This bike is a unique sports machine that will never disappoint you in any way... I have been riding this for the past 2 years and have no major issues with this.. it is the best to ride on the highway and the way it performs in the city is so punchy... it won't scare you but never leaves you behind anyone.. the front look will be quite normal as compared to other bikes.. but you will get used to it.. the side profile of this bike will look cool. The exhaust note is mild ... if you want a sporty exhaust note go for an aftermarket one. Best bike to own in this sports tour segment.

About the Reviewer

Due to financial issues purchased this underrated machine in the second market in an absolute steal deal. When I ride for the first time fall in love with engine performance and the look. It's a gentleman-type engine in below 6,000 rpm. But when we raise the throttle upward to the 6k rpm the bike gets monstrous mode. The chassis and dynamics and Dual channel abs help to control every momentum of the bike. Services and maintenance are really cheaper than an xpulse. Pros.. good engine handling and you can do anything with this machine. Cons
Spares have some issues and clutch on a tighter side and gear tight issue feels in traffic.

About the Reviewer

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.
