Reviews of Suzuki Gixxer SF 250

The bike as once Varun painter from power drift put it, is very good at everything, but lacks that soul connection with the rider. And he is partly true.
The bike looks good mostly and the mileage is great at almost 40 km/l when ridden sensibly in city, 45 km/l on highways within legal speeds, with the stupendous fast race to top speed available at all times. Running costs including service costs, parts are not expensive compared to peers. Comfort is not a problem unless you are in sticky traffic when the clutch hand will start to pain. This brings to the fault with this bike, at this price slipper clutch should have been there.
Now when I said Varun painter was partly correct, its because the bike, while it has a soul, it comes alive after 5.5k rpm and to have fun, you need to keep it above 5000 rpm in lower gears while negotiating city traffic, it's fun but risky!
You are doing 75 km/h at 5000 rpm in 6th gear. At 6000rpm its 90 km/h and its pretty fast. But the urge to give a bit of throttle is always there, for the exhaust sounds sweeter. Even more so when an underpass, or tunnel comes. And you may not want to quickly exit those underground parking lots, enjoying that angry, sharp exhaust note.
So for daily commutes, they will be normal for the most part, relatively quiet and comfortable, but faster than the normal 150cc crowd without even making an effort. And if you want to have some thrills, it comes after 5000 rpm for some spirited riding, all along with howls and burbles of the twin barrel exhaust.
It's very practical within limits, but that's just your sensible enough.

About the Reviewer

Simply the best of bike one can get. The 250cc engine churns out enough power to overtake the vehicles in the city as well as highways. The sitting comfort is pretty decent. I have done a 980 km ride in a single day on this machine and never felt a pain in my back although my legs felt a bit cramped after I had done 700 km. The engine is super reliable, 30,000kms done on ODO & never has this bike left me stranded on the road. The build quality is also good. Simply love it.

Smart looking/comfortable seating position/super braking with abs/average mileage/powerful machine. Display/ headlight focus/ good build quality/better performance in minimum service cost/steeper suspension more durability/wide angle oil cooling system. Value for money in this budget.

About the Reviewer

1. Buying experience - had 1 month waiting period, but got it on time. smooth transaction.
2. Riding experience - the motor is rev-friendly and butter smooth. good torque at lower rpm. good for a city commute. can dash out of traffic and green light really quickly.
3. looks - looks are not that sporty or aggressive like KTM RC bikes. but can give a bigger bike feel when u ride it.
4 - Servicing - The biggest drawback when compared to the KTM service center is the lack of premium-ness. Suzuki service centers feel really cheap. imagine taking a 2 lakh plus rs bike for servicing and u see a bunch of scooters everywhere. also, the lack of knowledge regarding some issues can be seen by servicing guys. this happens cos they are mostly busy with different vehicles without any resemblance in structure or parts. eg - KTM bikes are different but they are all bikes and many components are shared across the range. so the guys have good knowledge of issues faced by riders.
5- pros -
-super smooth and creamy engine even at high speed,
-super fast n torque,
-comfortable rider seat,
-good front brakes,
-cheap maintenance,
-big macho bike feel,
-gripey tires
cons -
-The ride connection is inaccurate and looks unprofessional. not accurate like Google Maps.
-The front windshield is too short for a bike of this size.
-rear seat too small
-The rear brakes need more bite.
-The service center is common for Suzuki scooters and bikes.
-mirrors do get lost fast cos of that single bolt connection if u close them every time during parking time.
-chrome plated exhaust looks cheap, should have been black or grey.
- The plastic fin on the tail rod below the rear light is unnecessary.

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

The Suzuki Gixxer SF250 is a noteworthy addition to the quarter-liter sport bike segment, offering a blend of performance, style, and practicality. This motorcycle caters to riders who seek a balanced mix of everyday usability and spirited riding experiences.
Powerful Engine: The Gixxer SF250 is powered by a 249cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine that delivers ample power and torque. This engine provides a strong mid-range and top-end performance, making it suitable for both city commuting and highway cruising.
Sporty Design: The Gixxer SF250 boasts an aggressive and sporty design that resembles its larger sibling, the GSX-R series. Its full-fairing bodywork, sharp lines, and bold graphics make it stand out in its segment.
Limited Low-End Torque: The Gixxer SF250's power delivery is more focused on the mid-range and top-end, which can result in slightly slower acceleration at lower RPMs compared to some of its competitors.
Price: The Gixxer SF250's price point might be a bit higher compared to similar motorcycles in its category, which could make it less accessible to budget-conscious riders.

About the Reviewer

I bought it from Shiv Suzuki. They delivered me the bike in 1 week after all paperwork and payment. It was a hassle-free experience from shiv suzuki.
Before coming to the decision of buying gixxer sf250, I tested r15 v3 and pulsar rs200, though I liked yamaha for their engine smoothness and ride quality, I was not impressed with the overall dimensions of R15 v3, it hurt my back like hell. It might be the physical limitation considering my height (5"8) and I was not keen to buy RS200 either considering Bajaj's long term cost of ownership.
Initially, my plan was to buy 150SF but when I saw 250SF in the showroom with matt black finish I was blown away by its looks. Even today you won't go unnoticed riding on this in public. Performance-wise it's a really a smooth bike, I have been using it for almost a year and haven't faced any issue while doing so. My daily running is 35 kms which I cover almost within 0.8-0.9 liter of petrol.
The engine is calibrated powerfully yet economical considering the 250 cc capacity of the bike. I go up to the speed of 100 km/h without feeling the windblast but post that you can feel the vibration in the engine but anyways who goes post 100 km/h on indian roads. Another issue that I feel with suzuki is hardness in gear shifting I have driven apache 300 and re classic 500 cc but that didn't feel this hard like 250cc. I have cut off 1* only for that (consider it as 4.5)
For free service, suzuki charges 900 Rs for an oil change but I think it should be free of cost for the first 3 services.
Pros: riding comfort, ride quality, performance
Cons: hard gear shifting

About the Reviewer

1) Dream bike, just test drive and bought without any confusions.
2) loved it, it makes the city ride enjoyable.
3) Have great road presence, superb performance.
4) Decent service cost.
5) Pros- comfortable sitting posture, great mileage, beautiful looks, enough power.
Cons- horn doesn't suit bike worst

About the Reviewer

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,

Powerful Engine: The Gixxer SF250 is powered by a 249cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine that delivers ample power and torque. This engine provides a strong mid-range and top-end performance, making it suitable for both city commuting and highway cruising.
Sporty Design: The Gixxer SF250 boasts an aggressive and sporty design that resembles its larger sibling, the GSX-R series. Its full-fairing bodywork, sharp lines, and bold graphics make it stand out in its segment.
Limited Low-End Torque: The Gixxer SF250's power delivery is more focused on the mid-range and top-end, which can result in slightly slower acceleration at lower RPMs compared to some of its competitors.
Price: The Gixxer SF250's price point might be a bit higher compared to similar motorcycles in its category, which could make it less accessible to budget-conscious riders.

About the Reviewer

I bought it from Shiv Suzuki. They delivered me the bike in 1 week after all paperwork and payment. It was a hassle-free experience from shiv suzuki.
Before coming to the decision of buying gixxer sf250, I tested r15 v3 and pulsar rs200, though I liked yamaha for their engine smoothness and ride quality, I was not impressed with the overall dimensions of R15 v3, it hurt my back like hell. It might be the physical limitation considering my height (5"8) and I was not keen to buy RS200 either considering Bajaj's long term cost of ownership.
Initially, my plan was to buy 150SF but when I saw 250SF in the showroom with matt black finish I was blown away by its looks. Even today you won't go unnoticed riding on this in public. Performance-wise it's a really a smooth bike, I have been using it for almost a year and haven't faced any issue while doing so. My daily running is 35 kms which I cover almost within 0.8-0.9 liter of petrol.
The engine is calibrated powerfully yet economical considering the 250 cc capacity of the bike. I go up to the speed of 100 km/h without feeling the windblast but post that you can feel the vibration in the engine but anyways who goes post 100 km/h on indian roads. Another issue that I feel with suzuki is hardness in gear shifting I have driven apache 300 and re classic 500 cc but that didn't feel this hard like 250cc. I have cut off 1* only for that (consider it as 4.5)
For free service, suzuki charges 900 Rs for an oil change but I think it should be free of cost for the first 3 services.
Pros: riding comfort, ride quality, performance
Cons: hard gear shifting

About the Reviewer

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,
