User Review of Gixxer SF 250 by Nikunj

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

About the Reviewer

Most people have really missed this bike, it is the only bike for highway, city, village, mileage is excellent, looks attractive, speed is like wind if you give a challenge you can beat any of the car. crazy racing, when you sit on the bike so it feels like going on a long ride, the bike was specially made for travel.

About the Reviewer

There is a slight difference between r15 and this if you want looks then go for r15, if you want raw power... I would choose Gixxer any day, reliable on bad road conditions, and you might have to keep an eye during rainy seasons, but overall very satisfying product, doesn't need whatsoever ever fancy service, and provides long-lasting fun.

About the Reviewer

Paying 2 lahks above and getting a bike like Suzuki's refinement level is good but Suzuki needs to work more in terms of looks, they should give a better windshield slipper clutch n more about like facemask it can be a better deal otherwise other segment bikes can be more valuable o wish in next update Suzuki is working on it instead of launching other bikes.

About the Reviewer

Pros:
This is the best city bike in the 250cc segment. Extremely fun to ride if you like speed and acceleration. Good braking, abs. Try using nitrogen in both tires, castrol/motul/ecstar engine oil (every 6 months of service), and speed 97 fuel - it is clearly the fastest vehicle on the road! (given there are no ktms around).
Can easily reach 150 kmph on highways. Long rides >300 kms are enjoyable but can give you backache if your posture is incorrect. The design is very sporty and eye-catching, other commuters will admire your bike on the road and at traffic signals and ask about the model and price.
Cons:
Gear shifting is slightly hard. Quickshifting can be a great addition in the future.

About the Reviewer

The suzuki gixxer 250 is an ideal motorcycle for anyone who is looking for a city-friendly vehicle beyond the 100cc-150cc space. It packs a good amount of mid and top-end performance while its handling prowess further aids its case. The original gixxer was a splendid motorcycle and one that we really enjoyed. This one offers an experience along the same lines, but with the welcome addition of that extra performance, we’ve been craving for all these years.
