User Review of Gixxer SF 250 by Rajiv

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.

About the Reviewer

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Buying experience -
I had purchased this bike from Natwest Suzuki, Chennai on 8-7-23. The process was long as the approval for BS 6 II was pending at the time I booked. The owner himself was very helpful and entire registration and other process took 10 days
Riding experience -
I have covered 350 kms in 10 days, mostly daily commute. So far so good. Handling is excellent
Performance and looks -
Performance is awesome, this quarter litre motor pulls nicely to triple digit speeds and is butter smooth at 80-90 kmph range. No lags or struggle, the engine is smooth at 30 kmph even in 5th gear.
Look wise I feel front visor is smaller and makes bike look childish.
Pros -
1. Powerful engine
2. Decent mileage
3. No back/wrist/shoulder pain for a sports bike
4. Pillion seat is comfortable compared to rivals
5. LED headlamps are awesome
6. Bluetooth connectivity is superb
7. No vibrations and super stable
Cons -
1. Smaller front visor
2. Some sound can be heard from exhaust tip due to vibrations during hard accleration as it is not fitted perfectly
Upgraded from pulsar 220f and is worth every time I ride
