Excellent bike but poor seat

4 months ago by Amitava Kala1,167 views

I have ridden it for 1500+ km now. I went on tour last month and travelled 500+ km.
1) vibration - it is minimum. I travelled below 5000 rpm before 1000 km. I did not feel any vibration or annoying vibration at any speed. After 1000 km -
At 100 kmph speed in 6th gear there was no vibration at handlebar, there was buzzing vibration in footpeg, but not distracting. I was wearing riding gloves and normal shoes. With riding shoes vibration in footpegs will be less i believe. There was no vibration in seat at any speed.
2) mileage - i got 40+ km/l on highway, which is really good.
3) fit and finish - excellent
4) headlight- very good, no problem at night.
5) look- suzuki should have given more colour options for naked gixxer 250. I bought the black one, but wanted a red one, which is not available in naked 250.
6) break- little less biting power than what we expect i believe. It is no way near god like breaking in duke bikes.
7) horn - ok
8) heating issue - practically does not exist. I had running period in peak summer, did not face any issue. Excellent work by suzuki.
9) highway stability - good
10) handling - good , but definitely not as good as dukes.
11) tyre - it works well in most situations, but be careful in slippery roads or sandy roads. I felt it was slipping a little even when i maintained a straight line on sandy road. (i had a tail bag ).
12) acceleration - ok, it is not that great but it accelerates in a surefooted way, very good for touring.
13) riding comfort - vibration is less that is good ( i sold my old duke 390 because of that). But now the big problem i face in this bike is the seat. The curved seat narrowed down at the front almost like a cycle seat. And the foot pegs are slightly rearward.
Now consider duke seat. It is very hard but it is flat and wide. The load of the upper body is taken completely by the pointy hip bones. Although it is vey difficult to seat on it for more than one and a half hours, but the pain vanishes after fifteen twenty minutes.
But in gixxer the load is ahead of hip bones because of the narrow seat, slightly rearward foot pegs and slightly lean forward posture. It gives almost similar pain as riding a cycle gives, which is not good. I felt terrible after returning from the tour. I was wearing a riding jacket which weighs around 2.5 kg. This is a racing seat, not for touring.

3An average bike but not a best bike. 8 months ago by Ravi Krishna
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...
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.

This bike is great, you can access the torque from 2.5k rpm to all the way up 7500 rpm, very light, handle shape, service experience is good, mechanic listen to your problems, engine is refined, you can feel vibration at 8000rpm, fit and finish great. You can feel heat in the summer at bumper to bumper traffic only.

1. Comfort this bike is one of the most comfortable in its segment. The riding posture of this bike is straight and handlebar is a bit on the farther side but it's not uncomfortable at all. Suspension is very plush they absorb almost every kind of bump or potholes. The seat doesn't have great padding but again you can install the foam to seats afterwards. 2. Engine and technology the bike which i am owning is the carbureted one as it is while the current variant has the fuel injection. The bike has super smooth engine when I ride my gixxer naked 250 in the city I love this bike very much and in highway no words to use m very very happy with my gixxer

Buying experience: This motorcycle is sold only at a suzuki premium dealer (in hyderabad). So, the experience was great! we were always treated with coffee, water and the paperwork was done in time for the delivery. The showroom floor also had a gsx-s750, an rmz 450 alongside a gixxer 150, sf 150 and an sf 250. They were kind enough to let my little niece take pictures with the motorcycles on display. Overall, a good purchase experience. Riding experience: This is worth reading! i owned a gixxer sf (150), which i traded in for the naked 250. Swinging a leg over the 250. The posture felt familiar and i loved how similar the handling was. Of course, the brakes seem to lack the bite that the 150 had (the 150 i owned has single channel abs) and the tyres lack grip! but, let me assure you that the brakes do have the stopping power, and the tyres are adequate for everyday use. Moving on, the engine is wonderful, with plenty of torque down low, for city use, and good power for a weekend highway cruise. I do both on a regularly. The tank capacity could be larger but when ridden gently, i go for about 400+ kms before i need to fill up. (35 kmpl approximately). Th posture is perfect for both city and highway use. A simple visor from the burgman 125 can fix you wind-blast woes on the highway. One thing to note, is that you tend to sit at a slope. So, a small amount of padding will help level the seating position, and will be comfortable for long distance rides. Design & performance: I think it's a good looking motorcycle. In the presence of it's rivals, it can hold its own. I own the silver and black (matte) variant and it's pleasing to look at. The inverted display is rather good, even in sunlight and i greatly appreciate the gear position indicator. Nothing fancy, just a good functional display. Suzuki did a great job with the sohc oil-cooled setup here, and it performs really well. Engine is tractable and efficient, and heat is really not an issue but also, i'm not constantly in dense traffic. Oil cooler works well; never had over-heating issue, despite some spirited runs on the highways with a certain other competitor (duke 250). You can push it all the way up to a speedo-indicated 153 kmph but i wouldn't recommend it, as the wind-blast is horrible. Highway manners are surprisingly good, with the ability to hold on to 90-110 kmph speeds, all day long. I use this motorcycle occasionally to visit some projects (450 kms roundtrip) and the ride is comfortable over these distances (with slight modifications to the seat cushioning) . All in all, a good performer for most things you'd throw at it. Servicing & maintenance: I've done 3 (free) services and the bill has never exceeded 1,200 inr. This was mostly for the oil and oil filter. I can't imagine it being drastically different if it were a paid service so it's safe to say that the service charges, so far, have been reasonable. Service interval is 4,500 kms to 5,000 kms (mentioned in the owner's manual). Keep an eye on the chain and take it to a professional if you want to get the chain adjusted or lubricated. The service center did this every time, but i get it checked every 500 kms. Pros & cons: Let's start with the pros. It's really good at what it is designed to do; a powerful naked 250, that is comfortable yet sporty, for both city and highway use. Power is great, ride and handling is good and maintenance is not expensive. The engine is efficient, and returns good fuel efficiency figures when ridden sanely. Led headlamps are great for city use and the inverted display offers all the info you'd ever need. Really, the biggest let downs are the lack of bite from the brakes and the uninspiring grip from the mrf tyres. I can't wait to swap them out and see what some other competitors. Pillion seating isn't that great, but it works all right for short city rides. Conclusion: I impulse purchased this motorcycle. Actually, my friend and i did. We both went for a test-ride, traded in our motorcycles, and took the new 250 home, the following day. Both of us, to this day, have absolutely no regrets! We took a chance on this one, without thinking too much and i hope you do too because it truly is worth it! Thanks and cheers!

Suzuki Gixxer 250 BS6: Road Test Review

21 December 2020

Suvil Susvirkar

The Suzuki Gixxer 250 impressed us in its BS4 guise, but have the newest emission norms strangled the performance and made the motorcycle dull? More importantly, is it worth the premium over its rivals in the quarter-litre space? We rode the motorcycle for this...
