Hello, I own the Gixxer SF250, and I love every bit of it. Every time I park it, I turn around at least once to admire its beauty. Love the punchy mid range which tears apart all other 200cc around me when you twist the throttle. Superbly refined engine, great seats and seating postures.. Simply love its nature... ❤️

My height is 5.3 and i had best riding posture and comfort. Gears - Smooth. Brakes - Needs extra bite as said in this review. I agree on this. LED Headlight - Does the job nicely in the night. But at dusk( around 6pm-7pm) , you will be wondering whether the light is on or off. But after that - visibility is good. Windshield - It's just gives the looks. Aftermarket DB visor available. so can be changed Engine heat - nothing felt on the highways, but in city traffic a warm heat can be felt in the legs. But bearable not the burning kind. Mileage - I cruised at 100kmph on the highways and never felt any vibrations. Overall route - 70% highways and 30% city rides. I got 37.5 kmpl. Seats are good. Pillion seats - not for long rides/ shorter duration rides can be manageable Guys, I've given my personal overall experience about this bike.
Fantastic video Varun. This bike is sexy as hell in black. I'd love to have this bike for commuting around Delhi. I just saw the new Ninja 2020 650 too - it's gotta be my dream bike alongside a Tiger or Africa Twin 😍
@@powerdriftofficial I need a sports bike, adventure tourer, commuter, and a kawasaki H2 to beat everyone on the Gurugram highway. Maybe an Indian Scout when I grow old and want to cruise.
2 words : Reliability and Durability The Duke or the dominar will never last as long with as little maintainence as the suzuki and offer this level of mileage and speed. Japanese bikes are just better built ,plain and simple .
@@thestealth293 it also spoils the look of the bike... it's just too small. Suzuki always does this, first make an almost perfect bike then mess it up by doing something stupid...maybe its just me
Powerdrifts bike reviews have always been the best and will always will be. Like all the past reviews this one also clicks right. I have been thinking about buying the 250 for a long time and your review made me take the decision and in a good way 👍
Bought the Gixxer SF250 Moto GP edition after a lot of research. I wanted to buy the MT15 but it was a huge disappointment for me. Must say, I think I have made the correct decision. The fuel efficiency numbers mentioned here are true. Even I couldn't believe it and I had to do multiple calculations at multiple times. You can cruise at 4000rpm 6th gear and you wouldn't even feel like the engine is running. I thought missing out on liquid cooling would be a huge negative but the oil cooling is really cool and you wouldn't miss it. Suzuki did it to make the engine lighter and improve fuel efficiency. The duke 250 is a great choice but the maintenance cost is too much for me. For my first servicing it cost me only 808rs. I expect maintenance to be very cheap compared to other companies. Check my instagram the moto gp colour really pops up. :) @sangy_bora
I own this black beast! It suited my budget its power is adequate to my liking as i owned rs 200 before and it got stolen so i've to look for a bike and the gixxer sf 250 since it's launch attracted me and 3 months after owning it i can say that one must go and ride it themselves to experience it and then take any decision in real life this windshield also is somewhere good looking when you see the bike all together it has a different body language! And it has a great torque mid range which i love the most which is great in city like Delhi. A proud owner of this beast!
To make Gixxer go from 'Almost there' to 'Must buy', Suzuki should upgrade the windscreen. Upside down forks could help. May be a DOHC set up & LED turn signals. Please compare the CBR 250r with Gixxer 250sf, as they churn out same power with different cooling systems. Should be interesting when PD does it. Loved the bike. Love all your videos! :) Good Luck! Jay
A comparo would definitely be fun! However, we must consider the fact that they belong to different price segments. Which is understandable, because of the tech they are equipped with.
I love how you guys are clearly understanding and stating how these machines are actually going to be used everyday, commutes and weekend rides ! Loving the script !!!
I've owned this bike for 10 days now. A few things I've noticed so far: 1- Rear tyre locks up sometimes 2- Brakes aren't confidence inducing 3- There is some heat on the right leg after spending about 15-20 minutes in bumper to bumper traffic. 4- You will feel the bigger bumps on your butt and back. 5- Pillion is going to be very uncomfortable for anything over 5-10 kilometres. I did a 200 km trip with my buddy on the day I got this bike, and by the end we both had a lot of soreness. 6- Fuel efficiency during my first week was around 20-25 kmpl. I'll wait until the first service to pass judgements. 7- There's a lot of vibration in the mirrors, even at lower speeds/RPM. The mirrors won't move from their position but the image of the oncoming traffic will be very blurry. 8- Talking about the mirrors, they are wide enough that you have to be careful while riding in traffic. Feel free to ask any questions.
@@vroombk even I was shocked when it happened. I remember one reviewer also said this about the rear tyre and I didn't believe him then. I don't know if it's poor tyre grip or poor ABS system (a bit of both perhaps)

It might look ugly in the photos. But trust me, both the Gixxers of 2019; whether faired or naked look absolutely stunning in the real world. I Just couldn’t take my eyes off them when I saw them first time. They are worth the price the Suzuki is asking for. 💓💓

I think it misses out the exclusivity of the design by sharing it with the younger sibling. When I buy a bike at 1.7 lakh, I expect it not to look similar to a less expensive bike.
@@debjit17 KTM did that, but bajaj left dominar and pulsar rs200 alone, while TVs left apache 310 intact. there never was a lower specced one , nor a lower priced one. but this is the exact same bike except for the engine, for almost double the price.
@@alexmercer3001 bajaj did not do that with the rs200 because it was never a hit in the market. But they did it with ns200 and the and the as200 and all the other pulsars. Ever thought why? Coz people wanted the same looking bike at a lesser price. And they're not doing the same with dominar coz they already have their pulsar series for that. Coming to tvs rr310..well that's their flagship vehicle. That's like comparing it with Suzuki's busa. We don't have younger and cheaper sibling of that, do u? Btw, I forgot Honda. Didn't the cbr 150 and 250 also look 90% similar? Think about it buddy..the brands want to increase their sales...and making smaller bikes look like their elder siblings helps them achieve that to an extent. :)
First thing I do when I start a PowerDrift video. 1 - Like (As #TeamPD always puts the best out) 2 - put the resolution of the video to 1080p. (as all the videos are treat to the eyes) 3 - always comment as it motivates the team to do more. #TeamPD #PDArmy #ProudComrad
In what scenario is cbr250r better than gixxer . Gixxer is 7kgs lighter produces same power and torque as cbr250r and costs 23 thousand less . Has better led headlamp much better light adapting console . More fuel efficient . Led rear light . A bigger windshield is provided by Suzuki dealers .you cant tuck in yourself in cbr250r . Single touch is available in Suzuki . Oil cooling but still effective and cost effective too oil coolers last more than liquid coolers. Mate i own gsx150r . Can you tell me how cbr250r is better i want to upgrade
You can revisit the engine heating test once ambient temperatures are much higher than what they're right now. It's unlikely to heat up with temps around 28C but could be different when it hits 40C.
Will it be a good desicion to buy sf 250 over 310 rr.??? Please help me out even though they r not comparable.... I am gonna buy this week.. Kindly reply #PD
For a tight budget, the Gixxer is a better option. However, if you do have a higher budget, the 310 would offer more power and more tech. Do test ride both the motorcycles to find out which one makes you feel comfortable.
I did a non stop touring in my 2018 Gixxer and I must say that despite being Air cooled I barely experience any heat from the engine while driving. If it's oil cooled then I must say Suzuki has nailed it
Hey brother Should I buy This of fz25? It would be my first bike.. My mom will be sitting as pillion... Also does back pain? Please reply in detail.. This one or gixxer 250 naked or fz25?? Are you shooting at BRT nigdi?
I am confused which bike I have to choose Duke 250 or SF 250 can you help me... I just want good look, fuel efficiency, service cost and comfortable also which bike i should choose?
TVS should and must fill this gap by introducing a low tuned 310 cc with a smooth engine and a decent pillion seat and call it a 310GT They nailed everything else with the rr310 except 1) engine refinement 2) Pillion support 3) A tad higher cost. The rr310 has potential, TVS needs to go the extra mile to finish the race.
Once in 2014 hero decided to make hx250 r with about 30bhp of power. but after a year they cancelled their plan bcz they thought that buyer of india are moving up to 300 or more cc engine, so nobody will buy a 250cc bike. But still 250cc bikes are rocking. It is always not about the cc but the thrill and feedback from the engine. Like duke and new gixxer. Even bajaj is planning to launch 250cc adv bike. How a company like hero is still under dilemma about market demand is hard to understand.
Not sure about the duke but the Suzuki has good..no great light spread from the headlights. But the intensity isn't as great as the dominar :( So well lit or moderately lit roads, you will feel some lack..but dark roads become bright, so no worries there
*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?
Why neglecting cbr250 ? Not even a single reviewer compares the cbr and gixxer. Even it may be a decade old it is on par with this and it's non abs model is priced less than this why don't you compare them ? I bet you will get more likes for that comparo than this video.
Great mileage but my Cbr250r 2k19 gave me 40kmpl while staying constantly between 100-130kmph. Please #powerdrift do a comparison between the old legend vs the new boy in town. I’m sure many want it!
@@powerdriftofficial im waiting for duke 790 review obviously ... hope we get track and road reviews separately.....and another comparison with triumph tiger🐯 and gsx750 ...
Brilliant video i must say out of all the reviews and videos on Suzuki gixxef sf 250 or for the matter any bikes powerdrift is just miles ahead wonderful edition cinematography and all round the video is superb
Varun Painter ... I hated your initial videos when you replaced Sagar. But man your recent videos for the past 6 months are awesome. I am waiting for Aprilia GPR 250... And also looking forward to anything coming out of Bajaj Triumph partnership. Own a Gixxer 150.
After SF250 launch i was considering it as my upgrade from FZ25, but after test drive I didn't find much of difference between both. Dominar seems to be more sensible option. Infact Gixxer sf150 was more fun to ride than sf250
*Even a child can say this bike lacks graphics, i mean college students want something funky something colorful like KTM or RS200 or beautiful like R15 v3. Suzuki is killing a good motorcycle by giving only matte color options & that's also just plain black & silver.Did same with gixxer 150 competing against beautiful Yamaha FZ v3.*
At peak speeds/rpms in the highest gear,I get an efficiency of 37 on my Gixxer sf 155. The 250 seems to be rather efficient for its engine displacement.

Hi all,
I own a Gixxer SF 250 Matte Black.
For the pooja holidays I went on a 900kms round trip on my machine. The bike is really superb to ride for longer duration.
No butt/back pain at all.
My height is 5.3 and i had best riding posture and comfort.
Gears - Smooth.
Brakes - Needs extra bite as said in this review. I agree on this.
LED Headlight - Does the job nicely in the night. But at dusk( around 6pm-7pm) , you will be wondering whether the light is on or off. But after that - visibility is good.
Windshield - It's just gives the looks. Aftermarket DB visor available. so can be changed
Engine heat - nothing felt on the highways, but in city traffic a warm heat can be felt in the legs. But bearable not the burning kind.
Mileage - I cruised at 100kmph on the highways and never felt any vibrations. Overall route - 70% highways and 30% city rides. I got 37.5 kmpl.
Seats are good. Pillion seats - not for long rides/ shorter duration rides can be manageable
Guys, I've given my personal overall experience about this bike.
Is there any fan of Suzuki engineering..??🤔
They got the world's first cooling system for motorcycle.
They made a small bike called the hayabusa some 20 years ago which is still apparently "relevant"

I think it misses out the exclusivity of the design by sharing it with the younger sibling.
When I buy a bike at 1.7 lakh, I expect it not to look similar to a less expensive bike.
KTM RC lineup!
Bajaj...tvs..ktm..all does the same thing!
@@debjit17 KTM did that, but bajaj left dominar and pulsar rs200 alone, while TVs left apache 310 intact. there never was a lower specced one , nor a lower priced one.
but this is the exact same bike except for the engine, for almost double the price.
@@alexmercer3001 bajaj did not do that with the rs200 because it was never a hit in the market. But they did it with ns200 and the and the as200 and all the other pulsars. Ever thought why? Coz people wanted the same looking bike at a lesser price. And they're not doing the same with dominar coz they already have their pulsar series for that.
Coming to tvs rr310..well that's their flagship vehicle. That's like comparing it with Suzuki's busa. We don't have younger and cheaper sibling of that, do u?
Btw, I forgot Honda. Didn't the cbr 150 and 250 also look 90% similar?
Think about it buddy..the brands want to increase their sales...and making smaller bikes look like their elder siblings helps them achieve that to an extent. :)
@@debjit17 Ya bro, I agree, but there should be some exclusivity for expensive bikes right?
It's giving me 42kmpl after 3rd service at 60 to 70 speed
First thing I do when I start a PowerDrift video.
1 - Like (As #TeamPD always puts the best out)
2 - put the resolution of the video to 1080p. (as all the videos are treat to the eyes)
3 - always comment as it motivates the team to do more.

The thai version of honda cbr 250r is the strongest 250cc bike that still exist in the world 😎😎😎😎
Love you honda cbr❤❤❤❤❤
Or how about the CBR250RR? 😬😬
@@powerdriftofficial cbr 250rr is a monster😀😀😀
In what scenario is cbr250r better than gixxer . Gixxer is 7kgs lighter produces same power and torque as cbr250r and costs 23 thousand less . Has better led headlamp much better light adapting console . More fuel efficient . Led rear light . A bigger windshield is provided by Suzuki dealers .you cant tuck in yourself in cbr250r . Single touch is available in Suzuki . Oil cooling but still effective and cost effective too oil coolers last more than liquid coolers. Mate i own gsx150r . Can you tell me how cbr250r is better i want to upgrade
@@techuser7261 gixxer 250 is way better than Honda CBR
Nice Bike when that available here in the Philippines?
You can revisit the engine heating test once ambient temperatures are much higher than what they're right now. It's unlikely to heat up with temps around 28C but could be different when it hits 40C.
If you want to upgrade from a R15 V3, then it's the best Japanese option for you. This bike handles great on the corners.
Please share about the headlight visibility in highway . Does the fan for oil cooling make noise
Will it be a good desicion to buy sf 250 over 310 rr.??? Please help me out even though they r not comparable.... I am gonna buy this week.. Kindly reply #PD
For a tight budget, the Gixxer is a better option.
However, if you do have a higher budget, the 310 would offer more power and more tech. Do test ride both the motorcycles to find out which one makes you feel comfortable.
@varunpainter what would your favorite pick be ? SF250 OR DUKE 250 BS6. ?
I did a non stop touring in my 2018 Gixxer and I must say that despite being Air cooled I barely experience any heat from the engine while driving. If it's oil cooled then I must say Suzuki has nailed it
Nice video👌❤ I love gixxer sf 250💝
Everyone asked for sf vs cbr in 250 segment.. no one is to do.. we want it from PD #PDArmy
Are those wide mirrors striking the vehicles around you ?
As a daily commuter should I go for r15v3 or gixer sf 150 full fiercing one
Great..no nonsense review. I own this bike and all the points fit perfectly!!
Why Powerdrift did not review Honda CBR 250r till now ? Eger to get the comaprision between Suzuki Gixxer, Yamaha Fazer 250 and Honda CBR250r.
Hey brother Should I buy This of fz25?
It would be my first bike..
My mom will be sitting as pillion...
Also does back pain?
Please reply in detail..
This one or gixxer 250 naked or fz25??
Are you shooting at BRT nigdi?
The direction and cinematography of PowerDrift should also be appreciated!
I am confused which bike I have to choose Duke 250 or SF 250 can you help me... I just want good look, fuel efficiency, service cost and comfortable also which bike i should choose?
Why is the Cbr250 not included in the list for comparison?
Because it's priced higher.
India is a price-sensitive segment, and not a power/feature-sensitive segment.
@@powerdriftofficial If we could ignore the price part, which one would fare better?, as both are almost the same on paper.
TVS should and must fill this gap by introducing a low tuned 310 cc with a smooth engine and a decent pillion seat and call it a 310GT
They nailed everything else with the rr310 except
1) engine refinement
2) Pillion support
3) A tad higher cost.
The rr310 has potential, TVS needs to go the extra mile to finish the race.
Wow, this would be interesting! Hope TVS is reading this!
Once in 2014 hero decided to make hx250 r with about 30bhp of power. but after a year they cancelled their plan bcz they thought that buyer of india are moving up to 300 or more cc engine, so nobody will buy a 250cc bike. But still 250cc bikes are rocking. It is always not about the cc but the thrill and feedback from the engine. Like duke and new gixxer. Even bajaj is planning to launch 250cc adv bike. How a company like hero is still under dilemma about market demand is hard to understand.
Really hoped you guys could've said something about the headlight visibility at night and rain.
Not sure about the duke but the Suzuki has good..no great light spread from the headlights. But the intensity isn't as great as the dominar :(
So well lit or moderately lit roads, you will feel some lack..but dark roads become bright, so no worries there
@@debjit17 does it wobble beyond 130kmph, that's the deciding factor for me between gxr and domi 250
Wait Varun didn't say his iconic lines so im doing it for him- I'm Varun Painter and I'll see you later 😏👀😂 #pdarmy
Always Power Drift review best... Love From Bangladesh... Very waiting for Sf 150 reviews
Ktm claims around 30 kmpl for the duke 250 and it's really hard to believe that it gives around 40 kmpl in city
You guys should check it again
*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?
sf 250
Loved the way you presented it!!
Why neglecting cbr250 ? Not even a single reviewer compares the cbr and gixxer. Even it may be a decade old it is on par with this and it's non abs model is priced less than this why don't you compare them ? I bet you will get more likes for that comparo than this video.
Sf 250 or rc 200 or Duke 250..
Pls answer... I am very confused
@PowerDrift guys please make future vids in 60fps your vids are very enjoyable...
Hey PowerDrift,would love to see a Gixxer250 review from y’all.
Great mileage but my Cbr250r 2k19 gave me 40kmpl while staying constantly between 100-130kmph. Please #powerdrift do a comparison between the old legend vs the new boy in town. I’m sure many want it!
Any problems bro in 2019 CBR ?
Onkar Tambe no complaints from the engine. The cosmetic part needs a desperate upgrade
Really need to learn this kind of editing ❤️❤️
Is it faster than the r15v3 or dmnr250 , what is gps topspeed of this bike
Varun still obsessed with duke 250🤣🤣🤣....
Speaking of Duke... Something cool is coming... very very soon!
@@powerdriftofficial 790
@@powerdriftofficial must be the scalpel 😃😃
@Milan Bullseye!
@@powerdriftofficial im waiting for duke 790 review obviously ... hope we get track and road reviews separately.....and another comparison with triumph tiger🐯 and gsx750 ...
Is there any detailed review of the sf 155 as im planning to buy it and i prefer power drift's review over any other channel
CBR650R review anytime soon ????
We're waiting to get our hands on it, mate. This is one is long due!
Hello PD
Please suggest one bike for touring among
Cb300r or gixer SF 250 or mojo
Mojo would be a better choice amongst those.
@@powerdriftofficial Thanks my first choice was mojo but one fine day I saw cb300r on bangalore traffic and confusions started 😂
Brilliant video i must say out of all the reviews and videos on Suzuki gixxef sf 250 or for the matter any bikes powerdrift is just miles ahead wonderful edition cinematography and all round the video is superb
Winshield should have been a bit bigger...the bike looks incomplete without it
varun good job with the review 💟
Thanks, mate!
i own one and it fits me perfectly, a jack of all trades but a master of none ...just like me...
Varun's jacket is dope!!! Which jacket btw???? Any leads???
Varun Painter ... I hated your initial videos when you replaced Sagar. But man your recent videos for the past 6 months are awesome.
I am waiting for Aprilia GPR 250... And also looking forward to anything coming out of Bajaj Triumph partnership.
Own a Gixxer 150.
After SF250 launch i was considering it as my upgrade from FZ25, but after test drive I didn't find much of difference between both. Dominar seems to be more sensible option.
Infact Gixxer sf150 was more fun to ride than sf250
*Even a child can say this bike lacks graphics, i mean college students want something funky something colorful like KTM or RS200 or beautiful like R15 v3. Suzuki is killing a good motorcycle by giving only matte color options & that's also just plain black & silver.Did same with gixxer 150 competing against beautiful Yamaha FZ v3.*
MotoGP edition
Can we get a video on the GIXXER SF 155
Is it okay to buy now ..? Any other good option in faired one!
Will they launch with slipper clutch.(BS6)model??
Kareed le... Kaunsa race lagayega with slipper clutch? Sf250 is the most logical choice
@@varunjoshi6542 for me it's important. I want slipper clutch.
Did varun sleep midway through the review? I was about to, where's the trademark powerdrift energy man?
My dream bike this video look like watching a movie and bro you talk very well👍
Superb bike...
As well as Video....👌👌🔥
Thanks, Captain!
Must buy if you are using for daily commuting!
At peak speeds/rpms in the highest gear,I get an efficiency of 37 on my Gixxer sf 155.
The 250 seems to be rather efficient for its engine displacement.
What your camera and lens ?
