Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 Detailed Review - India Strell For Bengaluru sales and test ride, please contact Nine Star Suzuki Near HOSA Road Junction. (Ph 9900073002)
What's the city mileage? How's the power delivery in city and for touring? I am considering buying this over rr310 simply because rr310 is way out of budget both for its price and maintenance.
@@prathamj2215 since its fuel injected, mileage totally depends on your riding style. If you ride under 5k rpm, you'll get approximately 34-35kmpl. Highway around 37-38. It delivers excellent power. And it's quite controllable unlike any KTMs. Its an excellent tourer. I would suggest you take a test ride and get the feel for it yourself. I don't regret purchasing this motorcycle at all.
What about the Engine refinement?did you ever feel any kind of stress on your motor when revving the engine high as it has SOHC ?also I'm bit concerned about its parts availablity. let me know the whether it has a punchy mid and decent low end torque. Anyway the international sibling of sf has an eye catching design.Gsx250R😌.May be they have done this as a part of price cutting.
@@MyVault The benefit of SOHC is the low end torque. I doubt it affects the vibration level compared to DOHC. The engine is quite refined until 6k rpm. After that, you might feel some vibration on the footpegs. Other than that, Suzuki is known globally for it's reliability. So, I'm not worried about engine durability. GSX250R has an inline two engine, but it's powered down. In fact, westerners wish the Indian models were available in their countries. Design wise, you may be right though.
Bro does it burn's engine oil? My gixxer 150 burns alot, and usually oil level is at low after 2000 -2500km. I have tried different fully senthitic oil's but same result. Got my half engine replaced but not much improvement.
Grrrrrr... I waited almost 2 years for a quarter liter bike from Suzuki and they released it in 2019. I already bought Intruder in 2017 and let me wait for 2 more years for Intruder 250 cc :D and will replace it . Totally forget, Thanks for the detailed review mate ! Keep riding !
4:08 Detailed observation ... I’ve felt in my FZ 25 too a bit ... never seen a reviewer mentioning this 😎👍 BTW no mention on FZ 25 when it comes to competition 😈
FZ25 is good but only when you compare it to 150/160cc bikes. For a 250, it lacks power and a crucial 6th (cruising) gear. For anyone looking at the FZ25, the naked Gixxer 250 is a much better bike!
At 4.38 you said that rear brake was average. With this, a memory struck in my mind Strell Brother. It was 2013 when one of my friend bought Yamaha Fazer 150. When I rode it I was shocked to see that the rear brake (which was a drum set up) was horibally weak. When used alone, it was not able to stop bike even if I almost stood on it. It just slowed the bike with a pace trains in India slow down. I thought that that was a problem with that particular bike. But soon when my another friend bought a Bajaj Pulsar 220 I found that, to a great extent, the rear disk brake of that particular P220 had the same problem. Since then I have noticed this phenomenon in various TH-cam videos where the reviewers notice that the bikes equipped with front disk brakes usually have very weak rear brake- irrespective of the rear brake being a disc or a drum. (Of course there are some exceptions though- I have rode Honda Hornet 160 2017 model and Honda Unicorn 2021 BS6 model where the rear drum brakes were having excellent bite and were able to stop the bike from high speeds alone.) My question is- why?? Do the manufacturers purposely equip the bikes with front disc brakes with a weak rear brake to encourage riders to use the front brake more frequently as the correct way to use front and rear brakes in the ratio of 70:30 or 80:20. Or is there any other reason? Please reply brother.

I dropped my gixxer sf 250 once .....had to replace left fairing , left handle bar , left indicator , little bit of repair on the tail section, gear changing lever ......It costed me around 4300 rs to get all these done
Hi Strell, I waited for this bike touring review for long time. After waiting for long and still didn't see an video from you. I made up my mind and finally i bought it on 25th December.
@@user-rh6bj3nl9s There is no vibration at low end and mid end. However, you get a light vibration for few seconds under the seat. While cruising at 45kmph and shift to 6th gear. Just for few second and vanish. I own 250cc and I get mileage of 37 when riding 100kmph and above and 43 around 80 to 90kmph in highway
@@Praveen9790 oh thanks a lot for ur quick response bro & do u face any rattling sounds or brake jamming issues & I got. An offer to buy an sf250 bs4 is it good to go am so confused but I love the bike Pls pls cud u suggest me
Hey strell bro. I was really happy to meet you today on kolar Bangalore highway❤️👍 Man I forgot to take a selfie with you, at least with you wearing your helmet (wisor closed).
No cbr in market i want to buy but no dealer is selling it in chhattisgarh , looks like its gone and not comming, today a guy told me honda has stopped manufacturing it
I own one of the same colour. As a regular office rider(Hinjawadi IT park) I felt some heating only once(very heavy traffic, more than 1 hr ). On Highways(Pune to Mumbai) the only thing limiting this bike are bad drivers/squids and bad roads. It is really fun to ride this bike. Biggest gripes would be the fragile paint quality, tiny windshield and lack of proper frame sliders. Oh, and I didn't like the service center support, they seem to be poorly trained/lazy. Apart from that, there are no other issues in my bike [touchwood]. Edit: You are the only one praising the pillion seat :P. Even I found it very comfy(test rode as pillion too :P)
Hey there! I am trying to get Gixxer sf 250 2022 variant in this exact color. Can you tell what’s this color called? I was under impression that this color was reserved for test machines only.
I test driven this bike yesterday... Great bike... in my opinion everything u said was correct except pillion seat comfort... One major issue is wind blast like u said. Wind hitting us at a speed of 70+ 😢 I am dropping the plan to buy SF 250.
Hi, Could you please give me a rough price range of 2012 CBR 250 abs variant clocked @ 45kKm (i know which depends on the vehicle condition) or should I consider 2018 model RTR 2004v (Matt red) completed around 18K km ??
@@iamstrellexactly .. In Bangalore everything's extra mate.. Including onroad price.:)..am having naked version of it.. loving it.. Even they charged me almost same for 2nd service
Hey Strell, as you are saying it's a sports tourer, how would the bike work if we take it to off roads? Would it be a survivor or it would be a bad idea to do that?
I agree to most of your points. But I should mention that here Breaking is not so good. Front brakes lacks the Bite. You need to do use both breaks simultaneously. I have done 2k kilometers on this bike till now and would recommend to all riders who are aspiring to drive 250cc engine
Suzuki Gixxer sf 150 2019 is similar to this bike I feel or do u find any difference or drawbacks compared to this...is it worth buying any vibration issue in long term
A couple for reviews on other channels mention that the brakes in the Gixxer 250 is pretty bad. I even read a few blog posts that say that the brakes are not that good. I would love an owner's review regarding the brakes. @strell, if you ever do a review on the naked Gixxer 250, i'd love to hear more about how the brakes are
Hope you are fine and staying safe, After everything comes to normal which I wish from the bottom of my heart, I want to see a Dominar 250 detailed and touring review, and comparison with Gixxer SF 250
Hey strell can you do a review on apache rtr 180 or 160 the 2V version ? An pure sound video will be welcone as well , if you can make it happen please do it .....
Bro, will the motorcycle be great for cruising on the highway at 80km/h average, for long trips (approx 36km)? Also I'm 1m65cm, will the seat height be okay? Thanks in advance.
Hi Strell, I own a Gixxer 250 (naked one) and I'm really impressed with it in terms of all aspects and especially mileage... I've done a 500kms ride on it and I received a mileage of 44kmpl from it even after keeping up at speeds of 120-125kmph continuously.. The new 250 Gixxer series has completely been awesome..
How are the front brakes ,many reviews say that they aren't good i am a little concerned about it as iam also planning to buy Gixxer 250 . Thanks in advance.

Go for frame sliders to avoid damage to fairing

Yes, especially the matt black colour with striking green one.

it will return but bs6 speed limiter
