    Its hight time Suzuki should launch facelift version of Gixxer SF250 with taller wind shield and comfortable pillion seat and last but not least slipper clutch.

    I own a Gixxer sf250. It is an amazing bike no doubt but it has its fair share of cons. I feel in the discussion, few things were unfairly in favour of Gixxer. Instrument console in the Gixxer is bang average, surely I would pick Karizma’s console anyday. The gearbox is pretty clunky and not that smooth as expected (this point was covered but still worth a mention). Karizma has a slipper clutch, not to forget.
    Fit n Finish is OK OK, nothing great ! Already see one crevice slightly wider than the other in my Gixxer. Surely the Karizma cannot be behind in this one if not on par.
    Also the windscreen, hands down Karizma’s windscreen is better. The one on the Gixxer is useless and the after market ones wouldn’t go a long way as they don’t blend as well with the bike. Vibrations is another issue to discuss. Engine is very viby after 5k rpm, its not unsettling at all but the Vibrations could have been slightly lesser. Have heard no such complaints on the Karizma.
    What goes hands down in favour of Gixxer is the looks, feel and the performance. It feels like a big bike FOR SURE. In these 3 aspects, you cannot get enough of the Gixxer and its a bit sad when you reach your destination and have to park your bike.
    Just my 2 cents. No hate. Love both the bikes.

      Don’t know which gixxer you have, but it seems like you don’t know how to maintain a bike or got a faulty one. I own v strom 250 engine is butter smooth gear and clutch action is bit hard but not clunky because of not having slipper clutch.

      There are slight buzz at 4-5K RPM. until 2nd - 3rd service. apart from that Engine is butter smooth.
      You get cluck noise while 1st gear. Apart from that noise, rest all good. No false neutrals.
      I ride from Agra to Nagpur and again Nagpur to chennai in 2 days in Gixxer. After completing 28 days touring in Himachal, Ladkah, j&K, Punjab, Delhi.
      Such a smooth and reliable Suzuki.

    This discussion is always unfairly biased towards Gixxer. Here are some points:
    Who prefers a winner in looks and riding position in a comparison review! These are all purely subjective matters. Then the console. Gixxer's negetive LCD is easier to read under direct sun. In every other aspect, be it information, updated design, navigation and BT, and night view when you prominently see those always, Karizma's unit is miles ahead. Not to mention, Gixxer's unite has a large blank space! Really. Now highway performance. Karizma does not struggle in highway speeds (it will happily climb upto indicated 130 kmph, and then it takes a little time); it can maintain a continuous cruising speed of 125-130 kmph (and it doesn't feel strained), and it has faster speedo indicated 0-100 time than Gixxer, although it has more torque and you don't need to rev it that high to access the performance. Bore and stroke figures of these two bike talk here.
    Handling: dial in correct preload, and the Karizma can very well keep with the Gixxer! Surely it is not behind the Gixxer. That is for sure.
    The discussion goes into handling, but not in braking because Karizma's braking performance is much better, has much more stopping power that Gixxer's. Gixxer's has a slightly better feel. That's it. Otherwise it is worse than Pulsar's unit.
    Also, this comparison doesn't touch upon after-sales experience. Gixxer is going to be costlier to maintain; it is going to be harder to find the parts, it has worse mileage than Karizma, and Suzuki's service network is nothing compared to Hero. So servicing your Suzuki is going to be a hassle.
    Now, can you pick Gixxer blindly over Karizma?
    All other points are fair enough.

    Being an XMR owner for a month and ridden 900 kms I would say the build quality, fit n finish and engine refinements are the best parts of Karizma. There is mild vibration but it does not get annoying. Also, on higher speed, the vibes tend to calm down considerably.
    Riding the karizma is very very comfy as I have ridden it for 5 hours in a day but did not have any back pain or shoulder pain.
    The grunt of the engine is superb and exhaust note is unmatched.
    Gixxer look-wise is an outdated bike since nobody will turn heads when you are riding a gixxer but when u ride XMR specially yellow one like mine, you will be noticed by almost everybody on road.
    Instrument panel of gixxer, exhaust design, colour schemes, tail light are no match for karizma XMR.
    Mileage of Karizma is around 40 after 1st service. I dont know about gixxer.
    If there is any manufacturing or mechanical fault in XMR, hero is replacing the parts free of cost. Will you get it in gixxer ?

    Biggest con of sf250 is suspension is horrible on bad roads , great on highways.
    Seating position ok for short trips but not for all day riding
    Great engine ,smooth, makes you happy on highways , looks great in motogp colors
    Great handler , great flickability , Good head light for night time
