About the Reviewer

Ridden for (If Owned)	0-5000 km
Got mileage of	28 kmpl

I was researching and done test ride in following segment bikes ,especially in 200cc ,250 and 400 CC . in which TVS 200 RTR ,Bajaj Ns200,Honda cbr 250 Thunderbird ,Java ,KTM ,FZ S, MT 15. finally I have filtered TVS RTR, Bajaj NS 200, dominor.
TVS having a starting problem in wet condition and NS 200 is having chain sprocket problem in very short time .dominar had been updated recently but it is a star and very comfortable bike with very good road presence but the mileage of the dominar is 18 in the City 22/24 max in highway ride. since I'm in 30 s .I need to ride with kids.so I always search for street bike I never tried on R15. because of the seat height but I love that sporty type.after searching so long time finally I have seen the ad of Suzuki from the house of Hayabusa. the Hayabusa was dream for me .finally I book a test drive .
I've done 150 cc and 250 CC both . oh my God when I sit in the bike and when I accelerating be the sound was like a double barrel very convincing. I prefer 250 coz dual abs and more power with the matte black.. in 150 cc you have shine black and shine silver. bad braking in 150 cc
riding experiences
refined engine the . excellent breaking ,stylish look ,beast definitely, catch stranger eyes while you drive, mileages 24 in city e 28 to 30 in highway just now for service done they charge 900 rupees 1.2 litre oil change and chain lubricant done I suggest you people to buy your motul chain lubricant for every 500 kilometre u can lube yourself for change life otherwise you need to go to service centre and they will charge hundred and fifty rupees for that with GST of course
pros
1. value for the money
2. best in class very stylish appealing
3. refined engine headlight and tail light LED was awesome
4 excellent breaking dual abs
5. sure man, you are roadside stranger will definitely ask. when you stop in signal or traffic someone will definitely ask you which company bike ?is this is it imported?
6. my top speed is 140 and it's very quickly to reach hundred with 6 speed gearbox . I almost drag race between all segment which I said above still I didn't do with KTM but Suzuki is the winner with above all especially with 250 cc but I know KTM is also the beast in speed.
cons
1. back sitting quite high but lower than R15. so that if you go with your wife or girlfriend they will be ok for 20 minutes or half an hour without any problem after that surely they will I lye over you and it will be a extra pressure for you to seat and to handle the situation and the backseat of will be holding your shoulders or hits there is no grip to hold anywhere else.
2.bad horning definitely not for this bike convincing
3. shock absorber is not that much convincing
4. very important when I gone long drive is about 250 kilometres . single cylinder oil cooled unit got activated I believe but normally will activate. but in extra distance the engine was over heated and cooling system does the job.but the point is ,the heat is passing your legs ..u can actually feel it from your left knee part to calves does from the engine .even I was wearing a jeans still I feel the heat of the engine on my left leg. I just thought if I wore a shorts or track pant..it will definitely hurts. cannot bear the heat this is the only major problem which I face...
but still I love it...you cannot expect 100% ..it's omitable in long rides.
guys hope I had given a honest review...but everyone have their own view and taste. I had given mine.so enjoy riding SF 250.

Tips for Suzuki Gixxer SF 250

definitely wear a jean or riding suit to avoid heat from the engine.especially your left leg...if you are less than hundred speed it's not a problem.

Sport look of the bike is amazing and affordable
21 weeks ago
Karan Ramchandani
I bought in 2019, Gixxer 250 and I have to say, I'm satisfied and impressed! The buying experience was easy the dealership staff made the process quick and easy.
the performance is good The 249cc engine gives a good punch, I use it daily for office and personal time, and must say it delivers a smooth experience, the power is perfect for city riding and the occasional ones.
Aesthetically, the Gixxer 250 is amazing. everyone looks turning back at the signals and all. The sharp bodywork gives it an aggressive, sporty look and premium finish feeling, which really elevates the overall design.
Maintenance has been not an issue, but the official dealership charges a lot so not recommended. The service intervals are reasonable, and the parts are readily available and affordable at the local store.
The con I think is that is not a family ride
Overall, I couldn't be happier with my Gixxer 250. It's an absolute joy to ride and I'd highly recommend it to anyone in the market

Well maintained and equipped with fresh front wheel and tyre and new chain and sprocket only two weeks old.
Good road presence with a very comfortable riding posture so you can take it for long weekend rides or for leisure city commutes.

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.

Beautiful sporty bike for city and breakfast rides
33 weeks ago
Avinash
Beautiful piece of machinery in the matte blue color with a really peppy and smooth oil-cooled engine that does not heat up at all. The buying experience was great and fast at Kiran Suzuki thane and so was their staff. The acceleration and performance are really good and definitely a head-turner on the road. Very underrated bike I would say but she does everything I want from it with good mileage as well.

Best Sports Bike!

It seems to be the best bike on the road in the current day scenario with stunning sporty looks & definitely market leader SUZUKI -- one of the finest & reliable brands for Sports bikes over decades.
This bike will definitely grab attention as well as look magnificent in its Matte Stellar Blue Color. Also, the mileage of around 40 kmpl with such a powerful engine makes this Bike worth buying.

So easy to buy this Gixxer 250 SF premium bike was bought in adyar Natwest showroom with nice responsible staff.
Riding was so exciting to drive a 250 CC bike. Fully looks like a sports bike so smooth to drive. After my first service, nothing much changed feel more comfortable. So easy to drive and feel like our family person SF 250.

Suzuki gixxer sf 250 review

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.

Best 250cc machine in the market.
41 weeks ago
Ashish Singh
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.

Use the Motul 7100 10w40 oil or any fully synthetic oil of a reputed brand after 5-6k kms. The engine will always remain swift.

Underrated Champ

Alex M Paulose
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.

Powerful fairing bike at cheaper price
1 year ago
Nikunj
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.

Suzuki gixxer sf 250 review
38 weeks ago
James
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.

Best 250cc machine in the market.
41 weeks ago
Ashish Singh
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.

Use the Motul 7100 10w40 oil or any fully synthetic oil of a reputed brand after 5-6k kms. The engine will always remain swift.

Underrated Champ

Alex M Paulose
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.

Powerful fairing bike at cheaper price
1 year ago
Nikunj
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.

Sport look of the bike is amazing and affordable
21 weeks ago
Karan Ramchandani
I bought in 2019, Gixxer 250 and I have to say, I'm satisfied and impressed! The buying experience was easy the dealership staff made the process quick and easy.
the performance is good The 249cc engine gives a good punch, I use it daily for office and personal time, and must say it delivers a smooth experience, the power is perfect for city riding and the occasional ones.
Aesthetically, the Gixxer 250 is amazing. everyone looks turning back at the signals and all. The sharp bodywork gives it an aggressive, sporty look and premium finish feeling, which really elevates the overall design.
Maintenance has been not an issue, but the official dealership charges a lot so not recommended. The service intervals are reasonable, and the parts are readily available and affordable at the local store.
The con I think is that is not a family ride
Overall, I couldn't be happier with my Gixxer 250. It's an absolute joy to ride and I'd highly recommend it to anyone in the market

Best Sports Tourer
31 weeks ago
Surya Jegan
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.

Beautiful sporty bike for city and breakfast rides
33 weeks ago
Avinash
Beautiful piece of machinery in the matte blue color with a really peppy and smooth oil-cooled engine that does not heat up at all. The buying experience was great and fast at Kiran Suzuki thane and so was their staff. The acceleration and performance are really good and definitely a head-turner on the road. Very underrated bike I would say but she does everything I want from it with good mileage as well.

Best Sports Bike!
34 weeks ago
Ashish
It seems to be the best bike on the road in the current day scenario with stunning sporty looks & definitely market leader SUZUKI -- one of the finest & reliable brands for Sports bikes over decades.
This bike will definitely grab attention as well as look magnificent in its Matte Stellar Blue Color. Also, the mileage of around 40 kmpl with such a powerful engine makes this Bike worth buying.
