सुज़ुकी जिक्सर 250

Basically, I've been riding this bike for around 5 years ( 30000kms), it is one of the finest 200-plus machines that I've had ( including Duke and fz25 & cbr 250 that I've had in the past).
The bike is given the same mileage for the last 3 years, however, it gives close to 35kmpl on highways. It provides wonderful stability while cornering or riding at high speeds. The riding seat is pretty comfortable but the pillion seat is not.
Pros- cost efficient
Value for money.
Low cost & super reliable parts.
Extraordinary after-sales service.
Wonderful engine, lovable brakes( both front & rear).
Finest rear suspension.
Cons- design not upto the mark.
Waiting time for parts.
The front suspension could've been a bit better with usd forks.
That's it, I hope it helps people who are riding the bike or looking to buy a reliable, powerful 250cc.

Good bike. Good pickup. Low mileage. The look is above average. Nothing can beat this bike in terms of performance.
Pros:- comfortable riding posture. You can use it for long rides. Good suspensions.

Overall if you're looking for a sporty bike around 2 lakh then this is for you

This is a great all rounder for someone starting out and they do not want anything too intimidating , too flashy or in the face with the design or the tech on offer. This flows under the radar with it's simple design, and somber colours on choice. I've clocked over 48K on the odo covering almost all of uttarakahnd, Amritsar, Indore, Jaipur and many other places on this. I've toured alone with luggage and with a pillion + luggage setup as well. This motorcycle performs flawless in any weather conditions and with basic maintenance and some useful mods like Fog lamps, tail rack, you can greatly increase the usability of the bike. Sure it's not as powerful or tech laden the counterparts, but it's exactly where it shines. It's the Basics done right! It's a delightful riding experience that helps you hone your skill as a motorcyclist and Suzuki has done an amazing job with the tractability of the engine. The bike has never run hot even in the scorching heat of M.P upwards of 47 degrees ( I was travelling from Delhi to Indore). It could use a facelift upgrading to better quality forks and a bigger fuel tank for an increased range, the stock heaadlight unit can be improved by a lot and the aftermarket for it's accessories is a questionable. You'll have to search around a lot if you want something specific to be done but overall it's a great beginner friendly machine for someone just starting out wanting something simple and no nonsense not attracting too much attention or looking for a secondary motorcycle to do the daily runs while being easy on the pocket.
Pros-
-Bare minimum tech, less things to go wrong
- Legendary reliability, and easy on the pocket even for students
- A great way of approaching and overcoming the learning curve
- Simple design, minimum to no graphic stickering
- Good FE
- Good Cruiser for highways and Office runs
- A simple, fun ,riding machine guaranteed to give you a huge smile on your face
- Good corner carver, Pegs can seem to scrape but that's all right
- rock stable even at 120+, inspiring confidence
Cons-
- Pricing is a big factor when considering this motorcycle, I feel Suzuki could give a bit more equipment like -
- better forks ( After clocking 48k on the odo, I wish This bike had bigger and better quality forks for my highway duties)
- a stronger headlight unit ( I fixed it by installing aftermarket foglamps)
- LED turn indicators ( swapped the bulbs for LED units in the existing assembly)
- Bit more info on the speedo like distance to empty or AVG FE ( although I'm good at math but I' m human too)
- Aftersales support and servicing still needs a huge improvement and also what deters buyers from considering it ( a constant headache as mechanics are not well trained )
- With the new emission norms, fuel tank needs to be increased to 13-14 L compared to the existing 12. ( range is on par with the other motorcycles of this class, but can be improved upon).
Except for a few niggles, this an absolutely fantastic piece of engineering and I would gladly recommend anyone willing to live with a few trade offs and who wants a genuine riding experience with not too much drama, this bike will do it all and will take a beating as well. At the end of the day you decide what you will do with the motorcycle and how it makes you feel.
Cheers, happy riding folks :)

CHEAP and BAD Quality of bike parts. I accidentally hit a pothole at 80 KMPH and two alloy wheels got bent. Suspension is really hard. The only good thing is the engine and engine only. Not recommended for use in the city or anywhere there are bad roads. Another painful thing is, that you won't get spare parts that easily. You order and God knows when they dispatch the spares to you. Also NEVER go with ICIC Lombard insurance. They are another pain.

Though sixth gear is advantage, but the bike gives vibrations at higher speed,( i mean after crossing the speed of 70kmh). Bike gets heated. If we ride it at a constant speed of 80 kmph for more than a hour, this happens to me while going from Hyderabad to Vijayawada on highway, for several times. The moving engine parts are also of inferior quality and will get replacement when compared to yamaha fz bike, but pickup, brake system and lighting can be regarded as satisfactory.

I have been riding this bike since 8 months. My riding experience is, Bike till 65 km/h speed is very smooth, there after it start vibrates. Legs get numb if you go long tour after 3 hours of ride. Seating arrangements is not good thighs get pain after 2 hours of ride. but brakes are good and no heating issue
