Suzuki launched the Gixxer SF 250 in 2019 while it's been just a year the BS6 models are ready. We have the MotoGP Ecstar edition for review today and it looks dope. While the motorcycle stands out it has the same underpinnings and heart as before but the only difference is in the torque which is low. We tell you the good and the bad in today's MotorBeam video.

Can there be anything more that can be good or bad for the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250?
Who is the proper competitor for this Suzuki?
Sir please make video of Duke 250's pros and cons🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳
Dominar 250
No one is in its competition according to price.. and it is the quickest 250 in India, it does 0-100 in under 8.30 sec
Ktm is pricer than gixxer and doesn't have that refinement level too, plus sf 250 is dashing in its looks just remove the tail tidy and stock windshield and this bike reaches another level in hotness,
U can customise LED indicators and side stand cutoff is never a reason to nt buy the motorcycle..
Don't knw how come u say about build quality.. m owning one since past 1 year, have never felt anything related to build quality nor any other sf 250 has complained about same..
The reason why it sells low is because of service network of suzuki, lack of graphics and punchy colors for the bike, Lower brand value of gixxer as compared to Dukes and Dominars
@@fanbhagatsinghda6200 Exactly bro!
I own gixxer 250 as well
Gixxer 250 is the complete package for a enthusiast
U have build quality as a reason not to buy .......have you ever compared it with its rivals . It is one of the best built in this category
There is a Gixxer 250 naked bs4 in my area and the owner said that spare parts are almost not available all the time. Even he uses Gixxer 150 brake pads in 250 due to unavailability. If it's a Suzuki premium showroom only then you buy it. Otherwise don't. Get 150s
@@Thesmackdownartist yes spare parts availability can be a reason not build quality..I have ridden rr310 which costs 80 k more than this and it feels plastic but never once I felt in this bike
@@rishichandran3627 the headlight is awesome dude in gixx. Even 150 has the same brightness. I'm talking about nakeds. Currently I have ray zr scooter and r15 v3 bs6 . And looking forward to sell my scooter and buy a gixx pre owned sf 150 for 85K asking price. 5700km done
Yes rightly said..... Build is the best part
Japanese bikes and build quality n reliability is a synonym!!.. agree that they can't say build quality is a con..
suzuki didnt pay him well for a review i guess
I don't get the idea of calling the missing liquid cooling system as drawback everytime, whereas the bike got some alternative tech that provides the purpose of liquid cooler.
If heat is problem in final product, then current cooling system is a drawback/issue. Otherwise it had improved on cost and weight of the bike (which is pro not con).
Rightly said man. I have been a fan of Suzuki's engine. I still use a GS150R. 7years. No issues till date. It still has the same level of refinement..
Wisely said brother. When suzuki went straight n have took away fins on engine block, it reflects efficiency of this engineering. Kudos to suzuki.
Rightly said brother , I own a bs4 Gixxer SF 250 , and not even once it had cut off in peak traffic, the cooling system is on point and I see no sense in calling the oil cooling system as a drawback... Suzuki were the first ones to introduce this type of oil cooling system way back in the 70s and 80s , and it immediately outclassed the then conventional cooling systems in motorcycles , and here are people telling that 8 year motorcycles have liquid cooling , it would be more good if people presenting reviews get to know the in depths instead of just pointing everything that is visible as a drawback......
Yep. I ride Apache 200. I never felt any heating though it to has no liquid cooling. Maybe small bikes don't need it l. it is just a gimmick to make the bikes sell.
Exactly....one thing I want to say...the suzuki engineers are no fools and secondly if their SOCS works as good as any liquid cooler why bother than...
After all it works with less complex auxiliary which in a liquid cooler needs more maintenance....
Why do you revirwers always keep complaining about lack of LED indicators, lack of liquid cooling....?
Rather please tell us whether what they have given works well or not.
Like whether the indicators can ben seen from a good distance which is the function of the indicators. And whether the cooling works well instead of complaining no liquid cooling.
You guys keep asking so many features that in the end, these manufacturers end up screwing up the more in the important departments like the engine and handling and give these features instead
Well said bro. Same opinion.
I agree bro.. cooling is meant to cool.. whatever cooling does the bike has..its heating or not that matters
Agree with you bro.
Don't buy a bike because it doesn't have LED indicators, Side stand cut off sensor etc 😵.. WTF is he saying.
It's 2020
I have this bike and ride quality is excellent. I love riding this bikes in Highways for long journey. Rider and pillion was able to ride without taking any breaks for straight 200+km. We have never felt tiredness.
Man just side stand cut off is needed nothing else.
The bulb indicators can be changed with Led one with just rupees 200.
Even side stand indicator is not necessary. Is the rider a child who doesn't even know to get his stand up
@@Praveen9790 i doubt you'll ride with pillion, I have 155cc and pillion comfort is a joke on this bike. Yes, solo rides are fun and you can go 150kms without any pain. But 200km with pillion nope! It's pillion seat is worse than RC200!
@@saurabhsharma7942
My dad is 65 years old and he is able to sit a pillion for 200km ride.
My brother is 20 and we did 600km trip in the bike.
Pillion foot rest is a pain. I have replaced with a large one.
Man, This guy is officially the KRK of Motorcycle TH-camrs 😂
Seriously , There is a limit of nitpicking !
Apart from spare parts availablity , there is absolutely nothing wrong about this bike ..
It's one of the most underrated 250s ..
I feel it's an excellent offering from the Japanese brand 👌
He's basically a noob. He wants biriyani in price of panipuri
How exactly was he nitpicking? He pointed out exactly what are cons in the motorcycle - fairing, the build quality fit and finish and so on. He's doing his job of telling people what others are not. He also spoke about how excellent the bike is.
Hi MotorMeme,
I have the BS6 Suzuki Gixxer sf 250 and I can't tell you how happy I am !
The drawbacks are the visor .
I did almost 4k kms now. Just take a ride and see if the drawbacks are really there?
like for instance I never felt the lack of liquid cooling.
The headlight visibility is good. Yes the instrument cluster could have been better .
seating position is good and comfortable for long rides.
Low and mid ranges are very good.
The horn yes could have been better.
The service experience varies from place to place. For me its been a good experience but some of my friends had bad exp.
cornering fun is too much and I could easily cruise on highways.
I am a very happy owner and every ride I take whether its 1km or 1000 km run it brings a smile to my face
Also will try to post a owner ship review soon !
On point 🔥
@@fanbhagatsinghda6200 🙌🏼
I brought one 20 days ago happiest decision ever
@@tejasku2291 🙌🏼
Bro please tell about warranty?
The person reviewing this bike doesn't even know what he is reviewing. It has the fattest tyre in the segment of 250cc. Dominar 250 has 140. This is the most refined 250cc bike with good amount of punch in this range. Can ride for 3-4 hours without any discomfort. This is the reason why I dislike motorbeam. They don't know what they are reviewing and they don't even know how to review.
Fix an air horn and install a diesel engine mate. And a laptop.also.
😂😂😂
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
EPIC :D
Yo🔥😭😂
Rofl 🤣
I think side stand cutoff shouldn't be there. My friends bike fell during an accident and the side stand was damaged. The bike refused to start in the middle of nowhere.
The engine is buttery smooth, even better than CBR. Being CBR owner and lover saying that!😌💯👍🏾
Japanese machines❤️🔥
Performance wise cbr is all the way up.
@@ewainewain929 deference is minimum in real condition.
I own gixxer for almost a year now and this bike is awesome and reliable..
Pros:
1.Engine is excellent
2.Powerful brakes
3.Led head light is freaking powerful
4.Riding position and comfort (except pillion)
5.Clutch and gear shift is smooth
6.Fuel economy is very gud (Upto 33 in city and 39 in highway)
7.Low maintenance cost
8.Less vibration
9.Stylish and sporty look (especially if u replace windscreen + rear mud gaurd)
Cons:
1.Small windscreen
2.Brakes although great but lacks initial bite
3.Service okish not great
Better than the video...

Ur comment is better than this retarded video

😂😂😂
Suzuki 250 SF easy go 151km/h top speed in bs6
Actually it doesn't need liquid cooling. Its Socs is equally efficient as a liquid cooling system and also maintainance is low due to that
Yeah, at that price. Your brain needs liquid cooling.
@@lokeshkumar-jj1dw 😂 ignore such people...even suzuki doesn't offer abs, they will say that abs doesn't need for suzuki bikes as it is disc brake by japan😂😂
After seeing this review, I decided to buy this bike. Thanks for making me laugh. I got a better visor. I got led indicators for you.
sahi hai lol and horn is replaceble too and phone stand lagado kaafi hai
Basically Engine cooling mechanism is there to keep the optimum temperature . If Susuki is able to make it happen why is that a negative ???? There are Orange and Red MCs out there with all those fancy "Liquid Cooling" in feature list but disappointing in real world testing . Pros or Cons , They should be valid & relevant.
One of best built quality in this segment
Annoying reasons given for not buying. Are they even negatives in the first place? Its because you guys complain about lack of those features that suzuki is king in cars. They give all useless features and compromise on safety.
Focus on how the bike is to ride and whether its good as a package rather than nitpicking and finding useless reasons to not buy it
I have Gixxer SF MotoGP edition 2015 model. Engine still works as good as first time. Japanese are too brilliant.👍
I got the sp edition...same for me
MotorBeam or MotorMeme 😂
😂
Bhai bhai 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The reason it's not selling much because of the design sharing with the 150's, Suzuki needs to re-design the visor & the Instrument cluster which are way smaller for our likings.
Who needs bluetooth? Not real riders! Enjoy the ride, forget the world! It's good there are no Led Indicators, I'd rather change a bulb then full indicator. It's cost effective, great job Suzuki!
I just love how honest you are
in my pont of view gixxersf 250 is a excellent bike.
in the video they said a lots of cons. let me explain my view
1. visor: its just a 1000 rs case. problem solved
2. indicators: other manufacture also selling with non led light. again we can replace if we want less than 1000rs
3. mirror : we can adjust the mirrors and its a good mirror. giving good view.
4. cooling: oil cooling is 2000's tech and still working fine then what is the point of changeing. and less parts so maintains and coolant money saves. and good cooling comparing with other 250 cc bikes.
5. display: i agree only basic functions are there but its showing good visibility.
those are not a reson for not buy this bike. its a good sports tourer in this segment.
thank you.
Yes bro! U r right ! Bigger Oil cooing with a fan to
Motorbeam is becoming the IGN of motorbike reviews
Motorbeam can u read my mind....inwas thinking of buying it and want a review🔥🔥
*Question*
Gixxer SF or Gixxer SF 250?
65% City rides & 35% touring!
If Mileage, Ride quality and Power are to be considered, what would you recommend?
Do you need liquid cooling if it doesn't heat up?
Thank you. Watching from Philippines 🙏🏽✌🏽❤️
Nice review man👍
Don't missguide us
I completely disagree with your negative points. First thing this bike don't have any vibrations, mirrors don't vibrate. Second thing, though it's not a liquid cool engine it doesn't heat up like KTMS. Third thing its build quality is very good, it has a light weight chassis. Fourth thing I never ever faced any service issues with Suzuki
, it's a giant bike manufacturer in the world and when it comes to visor it is short but we have to wear helmet to protect ourselves from wind blast 😉. I think you are a Honda fanboy who don't launch any sports bike in India or Royale Enfield which vibrates like a hell
- Happy Owner of Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 ✌
Just bought one yesterday and coming from a yamaha r15v4 the lack of slipper clutch and quick shifter is missed a lot... but the power is doubled which i like and also the riding is awesome no back strain ... im from NE Mizoram and here with our roads we cannot push it to its max potential.... overall its a very grest beginner bike .... 🏍 8/10 for me ...
Bro, you have recite us with so many cons but all are excusable, but any day its better than your honda cbr 250r ...
Engine is more refined than cbr 250r, power is almost equal to cbr 250r , and mileage is way way better than cbr 250r, freshly designed Suzuki 😀
All hail JOAN MIR AND ALEX RINS !!!!
Okay time to clarify:
1st: the visor it can be changed and with after market one it looks just beast
2nd: horn who needs horn that blows the ear drums bro, that horn is more than enough
3rd: i have rode bikes with superior liquid cooling and i swear this SF SOCS was way more cooler than so called Liquid cooled engines in its segment
4th: maneuvering this bike is so smooth and easy don't know why you felt it to be hard, that is wrong too
5th: mirrors, for the mirrors i use aftermarket one and they are good and even the stock one were awesome, looks like your sitting posture or height or the position of that mirrors must have affected
6th: vibrations, bro you must be using a new bike with no oil changed and how the hell can you say that i rode my friends bike hard reving it, yes it got some buzz at the top and thats normal for a single cylinder engine
And last: the parts were tweaking, u serious bro u must have got some harshly managed SF cause its been almost 2 yrs and still the parts are intact property, not like the fz series
Not a suzuki fan boy but from experiencing by myself hands down this bike is one of the most reliable and underrated bike currently in the Indian market
Sorry forgot to add one thing who the f needs a bluetooth in a bike, totally rubbish
Totally agreed....
Most people buy faired bikes here just to show off and the fact that one can have same design (Gixxer 155SF) by paying much less is the main reason why 250SF doesn't and won't sell.
Then no ktm would be selling even 125 looks like 390 apart from sticker
Gixxer sf is best in build quality and engine refinement. Suzuki has nailed it and for both these--the rating is (10/10).
Headlight visibility is best in segments.
Both pillion and rider posture is very good and no effort.
I have seen several happy GIXXER SF owners.
Gixxer sf and gixxer sf 250 definitely value for money bike.
The small visor is not a problem...there are several after-market visors available, one can easily afford it.
-------------------------
This is not a genuine video on this bike
***Most negatives u said don't even exist for this bike****
Suzuki sf 250 is the best bike under 250cc segment..it's look,power,mileage, build quality,value for money superb❤
That “keeechu keeechu” at the end had me good 😂🤣
Overall a good review! Liked the pros and cons, perhaps the comparison part could be said rather than showed in a blink 😅
I'm owning a Gixxer sf from last 1.5 yrs but haven't faced any issues regarding the build quality or service network 😂 , service is very good and from my personal experience parts availablity is also good.
Not good . I got gs150 r parts on order only not hand to hand in 15 days
Guys trust me... This is the worst review i ever saw about this bike.. I have sf 250 bs6.. he didnt even said perfectly half about this bike.
Only missing in this bike is slipper clutch and side stand cutoff feature.. who ever that reviewer is.. do some research buddy,, SOCS is much efficient as liquid cooling.. once i rode 130 kms without break.. i saw just warmness not too heat. Instrument cluster is awesome even in direct sunlight. Can even handle easily in traffic. Refinement is great for 250CC and finally i never saw such fuel efficiency in 250cc bike like this.. average im getting around 36-38kmpl..disc size is front 310mm and rear 240mm
.
U lost one subscriber
Dude watch the video fully.... Coz he said it doesn't heat at all in "GOOD"....
@@sreeathikesh7209 yeah buddy.. but he didnt done proper research before that video.. He dont know some specifications
Only reason why Gixxer 250s not selling due to 98% similarity with 150cc sibling. Why the hell I should invest 2lks to look like a 150cc machine ! 😭
@@JC-nx5xx i accept wt u said buddy.. but if u prefer over bajaj 250cc or ktm's refinement.. suzuki is best in the segment. my experience
@@mrg3473 if you consider heavily overpriced ktms and overweight dominars then Gixxer is way ahead for the price. But if you consider fz250 then Gixxer should have been 15-20k difference in on road price. But the price difference is around 37k in Bengaluru which leaves many customers behind. To Justify 37000 more than fz250 is too difficult than justifying ktm 250 price over Gixxer 250 .
Dude you missed out the slipper clutch. It's a must needed feature for sf250
It seems they rate Side stand cut off sensor and LED indicators compared to slipper clutch 😂
Slipper clutch is for new riders. If you have experience on machines like this you don't really need one.
Yeah, Slipper clutch is essential for 250cc segment
Slipper clutch is a useless gimmick if you know how to ride.
What about the sloping seat? Hide long can ride this bike comfortably?
This guy make that bike underated
Such a amazing machine,, I m enjoying...
I have naked 250.. can I add fairing?
Thanks for pointing out the tiny windshield. Suzuki should do something about it.
I think you have a faulty bike ,that sound from body panel is not coming from any of our bikes
Exactly man..
Something seems to be nt right with his bike, no one has complained about it in our owners group
@@fanbhagatsinghda6200 yeah dude , everyone is enjoying our bikes,motorbeam we request you not to knit pick things and say as reasons for not to buy
Don't know man, I went for a test ride recently, it really sounded like that. Even on the naked bike.
May be built quality has dropped. But still better than R15.
And yes, still going to buy gixxer.
Whole Motorbeam team is best in nitpicking especially on Bajaj and Suzuki motorcycles.
They love everything about TVS.
Gixxer SF 250 or svartpilen 250 which is fun motorcycle to ride like performance & handling?
Sf250
I feel the bike in it's class compared to others are far better. Engine,breaks,power delivery are the best only thing I wd have wanted are bluetooth connection and a slipper clutch with smoother gear shifts.
Pros
* Awesome engine. Oil cooling technology in this engine is one of a kind.
* Great build quality
* Confidence inspiring rider stance .
Cons
* Diamond frame and box swing arm is not the level of hardware expected by customers.
* Can't say it is a very beautiful looking bike(at least in few angles).
* BS6 update has toned down power delivery above 100 KM/hr(?).
* When Suzuki launched GS150R it had the best in class instrument cluster. Cluster in this bike has even lesser feature than that bike. Different ride modes, real time mileage indicators are all missing in the cluster.
* Not a time tested engine. I am skeptical about printed skirt piston, will it worn out within few thousand KM?.
3D printed treatment on piston isn't new. It has been used by many and it is time tested. So, don't worry about piston's life.
engineers are more skeptical than you.... so trust them!!!
Lots of hate and anger there bro..
So if I have a suzuki showroom near my house should I buy the gixxer? Or is there any other problems relating to there after sales service, availability of spare parts etc?
Bro ! Service is experience is variety from place to place & every company have their issues with service center
For 2.L + , no other bike cannot match what 250 SF is offering , ( indicator, visors are easy accesories which we can buy )
04:41 actual 0 to 💯 time is 8 min 34 sec.
Superb styling
1.29 and 1.51 can anyone tell me which movie clips they are from ?
How much milage it would provide in city and as well as Highway?
I never felt rear view mirrors are not good. I'm using this bike from last 2 years
Dhanil pronounces Ta (as in Batata) as Ta as in Tatyawinchu 😅🤣… Bluetooth, Notice, a few words.. hey man, great v log though, you are awesome. Gotta keep your points in mind..🤘🏼 Happy new year to entire MB team 🙌🏼❤️⚡️
Is the rtr 200’s headlight not better than this?
Dhanil what does cbr 250 have?
Plzz do the comparison video on honda CBR 250R VS Gixxer 250 SF...🙏
The weak horn and the side stand thing are both pluses in my opinion.
I hate people who honk, and I rarely honk myself.
I like starting the bike on the side stand, so that the engine oil gets to circulate before I start moving.
Regarding build quality, I took a test drive yesterday, and it is amazing. The engine sounds good too.
The mirror sucked compared to my sf 150
i like this types of indicator i live this bike
Is this good for long tours
Hi team ! Would be great if there a long term ownership review to avoid miscommunication. Fully functional Oil cooled Suzuki's patented is way more pioneered and better than liquid cooled
oil is a liquid too.... you mean water cooled vs oil cooled
Can someone answer please : This or ninja 300? Why's and why nots ?
First Hindi reviewer that speaks English clearly...
Still happy with my 8 years old CBR 250R ABS ❤
Love that Honda Engine and Stability.
Bro honda hai woh... im sure you are gonna comment the same thing after 20 years as well !!!!! 🙊🤘🏼 honda and yamaha engines are eternals

I own naked version and done 22k km.
Heat management is good.
Build quality is solid.
Performance is good.

And mainly maintenance is around 900 lol😂😂😂
How much milage you got in city nad Highway?
How does it run in highways
They missed led lights and side stand indication is for cost cutting.
My favourite bike
Assisted slipper clutch?
Visor is not a major problem we can sort out this problem by changing db visor
Motorbeam must have a meme page also 😂😂
There is a Gixxer 250 naked bs4 in my area and the owner said that spare parts are almost not available all the time. Even he uses Gixxer 150 brake pads in 250 due to unavailability. If it's a Suzuki premium showroom only then you buy it. Otherwise don't. Get 150s
What we need here in the Philippines is Expressway Legal 400cc above. Can you lanch Suzuki Gixxer sf 400 same that design ang size.
Please review Duke 250 bs6 led
What is wrong with oil cooling ..
Reviewer is prejudiced and says it does not have liquid [water] cooling.
There is no hard and fast rule as to what method is to be used. Suzuki has brought in this technology after years of research
It's exhaust note come to live when ur at redline. Its just mamameya
Sir Please Review Gixxer SF 150 Model. Please🙏🙏
Dhanil sir review the RS200 pls
Can we install after market wind visor?
Yes 60-70% of gixxer riders modify the windshield and it only costs 1000-1200 rs for one
Yes you can integrate rr310 or ninja300 windshield in it
Major Reason Is Availability Of Spare Parts.. My God, Dats A Dream 4 Me Wen I Had Da Suzuki Zues...!
For me this is the Best.
Does a 390 get dual horns??????????????
This motorcycle increased people's want to buy a CBR250r even though it is discontinued
