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.
Find out the list of available Suzuki Bikes.
The ARAI mileage of Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 is 35 kmpl. The average of the Gixxer SF 250 is 36 kmpl, as per the owners of the bike.
Sport look of the bike is amazing and affordable

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 rideOverall, 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

Smooth riding experience with great looks. Easy maintenance and excellent mileage. 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.

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.

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.
21 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.

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. ConsSpares have some issues and clutch on a tighter side and gear tight issue feels in traffic.

Powerful fairing bike at cheaper price

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 tirescons - -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.

Bought it from Jos Suzuki Angamaly Kerala. The showroom experience was great. I had already test-ridden the SF250 many times before the purchase. So I had a clear idea of how the bike was. The engine is a gem, with no vibration, and really smooth along the rev range. The bike itself is muscular and offers a big bike feel, yet at 161kgs feels light as well. Power delivery is so amazing. I got around 34kmpl mileage in the city before 1st service. I mostly used to ride at a speed of 70 to 80 in the cities. The braking is decent. Not spectacular or worse. It does the job. Led lights at the front offer great visibility at low lights. The rear led light looks cool. I wish the turn indicators were led as well. I am really not happy with the visor which is practically useless. Had to get an after-market DB visor which works fine. Even the horn is pathetic. Feels like a scooter horn.

Bought it from Jos Suzuki Angamaly Kerala. The showroom experience was great. I had already test-ridden the SF250 many times before the purchase. So I had a clear idea of how the bike was. The engine is a gem, with no vibration, and really smooth along the rev range. The bike itself is muscular and offers a big bike feel, yet at 161kgs feels light as well. Power delivery is so amazing. I got around 34kmpl mileage in the city before 1st service. I mostly used to ride at a speed of 70 to 80 in the cities. The braking is decent. Not spectacular or worse. It does the job. Led lights at the front offer great visibility at low lights. The rear led light looks cool. I wish the turn indicators were led as well. I am really not happy with the visor which is practically useless. Had to get an after-market DB visor which works fine. Even the horn is pathetic. Feels like a scooter horn.

Sport look of the bike is amazing and affordable
1 week 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 rideOverall, 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

Smooth riding experience with great looks. Easy maintenance and excellent mileage. 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.

Best Sports Tourer
11 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.

Best Sports Bike!
15 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.

While you drive on the day first ride don't go too much speed pickup gradually so that the bike will be smoother for a long time you feel like a new bike.

Suzuki gixxer sf 250 review
18 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.
21 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.

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. ConsSpares have some issues and clutch on a tighter side and gear tight issue feels in traffic.
