- New for the 2018 model year, Suzuki has released its quarter-liter sportbike, the GSX250R. Suzuki plans for this motorcycle to not only be a bike for bike-curious riders to start on, but also to be a motorcycle for those returning to motorcycling to come back to at a reasonable cost. We took to the streets to see how it performed in various daily scenarios.

got this as my first bike! no doubt I have had more fun in this than any other 600 I've driven! its just so fun to wind it up all the way to 6th gear!
I own this bike and it does highway speed easily. And I'm 205 getting 75 mpg. Awesome bike
Bryan Bond but are you 6’2?
I remember how my first motorcycle was a 250 and it was more lively than the bike I have now that's a 1300. It was just smoother and a little bit more fun being a smaller engine that revved high. Kinda miss how those engines were. And super gas sippers
Somebody can tel me the top speed of this bike
@@sobrunavish8312 88 mph indicated
@@jez7433 that's not bad actually. my KLX230SM is sooo much fun too, but tops out at 75mph. Not bad for a 233cc air cooled, but sometimes i want an extra 15mph on highway.
I just bought this as a second bike and I love it. I’ve seen people commenting about this bike saying that it’s too much money for what it is, but when you see it in person and see the materials and quality that they used then you understand why the price of it, better than the competition . It’s not a fast bike but you can keep up with traffic just fine so if you want an entry level racing feel bike the bikes to buy will be the ninja 400, the r3 or the Kim 390 but as an all rounder bike the Suzuki is perfect 👌
Yea i dont understand why everyone badhes it from what i have seen it will do 70 mph just fine. I dont want a speefing ticket. And heavier is better for stability.
Thanks... 👍
People are definitely super worried about having the most horsepower and speed..but forget that's not what motorcycling is about..this bike is so much fun, it doesn't go 189+ mph..but its a wonderful bike nonetheless! People looking for a chill ride and not worrying about a bike overpowering you, this bike is awesome😁
me being a new rider I had a 150cc aprillia mojito and it was automatic going to a 250 is just my speed and maybe later I will get a 400
Good review. Nice to see a moto review on youtube where the reviewer isn't annoying or trying to hard.
It's actually a great touring bike, with the big gas tank, excellent gas mileage. Put a 41 tooth rear sprocket (cruise 70mph all day), a windscreen extender, some saddle bags and you are good to go.
I couldn’t even crack 85mph. On it tucked. It’s a scooter
@@No-ze7ne how much do you weigh?
I'm 6'-4", 190lbs looking for my first bike...I think I found it. SUBSCRIBED
dYk how talk is he
6'2 160lbs I think I want this one
I love the styling of this bike the most of this category as well.
I love this bike. i had it for 2 years and i was in love with it. yesterday sold it.
great ride is my suzuki gsx250r , the bike handles like a dream i have the same bike in motogp setup with lots of additional spec, really love my ride and i have been riding for 42 years...so im no spring chicken, keep up the good work lad
suzukis are known for well balanced bikes with quality and value for money. id buy suzuki!
Great time for motorcycling was the 2stroke era. Hope it come back.
I don't know, I've been riding for 3 years now and I owned a Honda CBR250R then a GSXR 750 but then I decided to go back to the 250 segment because it's so reliable and is so much fun to ride, now I own a Gixxer 250 naked.
The bike is slow but at least it looks good doing it...
100 mph is slow? Lmao
@@user-vk8yq8oq7p 94mph
@@user-vk8yq8oq7p its slow for the looks but for someone who understands what smaller engines can do you will understand that its actually a great bike with some power
It's the fastest 250 on the market.
At 70 years old and buying my first bike...slow might be better! jajajaja (a little local street and highway cruising is all i'm looking for)
amazing vdo thx
Wife bought one..low on power but smooth as hell..great engine I like taking it out
Good reviewer
Love that. simple is elegant
thanks for the video ......lots of love & respect to you from INDIA
Thanks bro I love the gsx 250 r
Definitely the best looking 250
Jonathan Cooper, I agree it's a great looking bike. Too bad Suzuki couldn't find more hp for this bike. Hard to compete with 250 cc vs 300 cc to 390 cc engines.
WHAT ARE THOSE Ye the ninja 300 is much quicker but it doesn't look quite as good.
Remember the CBR500R is also in this class. So when you look at it that way it really is very under powered compared to the competition. Its soo frustrating when manufacturers screw up like this as we want them to give us awesome bikes to choose from. But who in their right mind is going to choose this over an R3.
The reason Suzuki stuck with 249cc is because of the Asian countries taxing anything bigger than that like crazy.
oh so it is more aimed for the Asian market, makes sense now.
What a handsome bike!! or may be beautiful bike !!
Nicely made video
I was at a dealership in Long Beach yesterday sitting next to a black GSX250R it was a really good looking bike. I'm not into sport bikes but i think they will sell well. Next time you're in San Pedro if you like French Toast check out The Lighthouse Cafe...
So is this a good bike for an every day commute for starters???
would love to hear about this bike in ABS vs Non ABS
I like it. It's just great that makers are going 250/300 for their mass market bikes.
Hi, do you have a review for gsx 250r 2017 so we can compare the performances and disadvantages? thanks
Great video.. 👍👍👌 Suzuki will be launching this in India..
Nice video bro...😁
What do you think is better as a beginner bike? The Yamaha yzf R3 or the Suzuki GSX250R?
the best review ever......great job Ryan
In indonesia CBR250RR very looks good and so impressive!! You must to have and ride!! Full tottal control and no wire in this bike..
Nobody touches on that circle on the gauge, is that a shift light?
Would it be a good first bike?
Such a good looking bike
I wish Suzuki would fit a small turbo to it and it'd be perfect.
Cool bike
Great video, still wish they had the balls to build an i4 250 again.
2003 Kawasaki ex250 ninja is all a person needs! Neat video
Got an 05 ninja 250 & agree with you.
Have both. This eats the ninja from 0-50
Thinking to get this bike even not so fast. Just working commute. I have HD 750 street bike before. Due to pandemic we have. I my HD street got repo. Try this one cuz is good on my budget.thanks
I love the look of this bike, especially in white... But it’s horsepower figures and weight leaves a lot to be desired. 20.6HP doesn’t seem like enough for me to feel comfortable as a new rider... I’m leaning towards the Yamaha R3 (35.1HP) and the BMW G310R (29.5HP) It’s a beautiful bike but it definitely needs more horsepower.
Hp is not everything.I enjoy doing show and shines with my bikes.I have always being a Kawa/Honda owner.Now with the flash look of the Gsx250R,I am about to become a Suzuki rider for the very first time.Ride for enjoyment and fun,while being safe.
This bike is a relative bargain here in Canada...$3000 Cdn ($2250 USD) compared to $4500 USD ($5988 Cdn) in the U.S. EVERYTHING else we pay more for???
2 cylinder?
I'm a beginner motorcyclist, am small 166cm so which bike of this equation is right for me? I drive daily to work in the city and also the highway and sometimes during a weekend round of recreational so, which one? this of Kawa Ninja 300
Im a new rider, and want to buy a beginner bike such as this one, since I want to keep my car for the long road. Will this be a great option?
Is this a good beginner bike? Im thinking about getting one. I'm 5'10 170 pounds.
How is this bike for inter state travel and for touring ? Can two people comfortably travel a distance of 300 odd miles between two states ? Is the seat comfortable ? By the way this review is great.
Always best
Not much faster than some scooters but looks a thousand times better. That engine will last 20 yrs. Excellent. If more riders rode this instead of 600s RR they still be alive. Id rather have this than R3 I know eventually you will crash R3 it makes u ride like an insane little Monster.😎
The R3 has 40hp. Give me a break
@@No-ze7ne😂😂 wait till he hears about liter bikes
What its maximum speed in km/hr ???
Just put a 41 tooth rear sprocket on my gsx250r. Great for doing longer highway touring. Even better gas mileage!
My neighbor has this exact bike same color, its nice as heck , just needs a shorter exhaust,
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE I CAN GET FRAME SLIDERS AND LOWERING KIT FOR THIS BIKE !!?????!!! Please help !!!
What is its top speed Bro??
Can it have LED lamp?
Theres an all black one of these near me for only 2899$ brand new. I think Im gonna go buy it.
Jay Mann did you get it !?
is it better then the rc390 2017?
Is it the same engine with inazuma?
nimble and light..and the shape is really striking.maybe the power and top speed will not satisfy everyone...but hey...its all about smile per gallon as far as sportbike is concerned....☺
Getting one tomorrow for 4100 new. Can't wait 😁
Same price in UK; £3,000 plus 'on the road costs.'
IStayHighI I’m about to get one new this weekend for 2400

Did you like it?
ever tried yamaha R3?
Hi....do review Bajaj Dominar 400. It's not available in India but once reviewed u would like to have one.
Good bike 👍🏼
The video is. Awesome.
I never got a. Chance to hands on to gsxr 250 r but .as per the specs I came to conclusion that Yamaha yzf r3 is much better option than this in all aspects..
OMG the video quality is insane...hope it will be soon launched in India...
No
Generic Girl that's sad
Would you guys recommend this for a first time buyer? And a first time rider at that.
If you can find one. get it.
No lol get a honda or yamaha 650 class bike.. if it's in your budget.. worst 250 there is. If your gonna buy a 250 but a used one for $2k.. save some money.. I bought a 2012 cbr 250r for $1750 with 2308 miles and flipped it for 3300.. buying new as a beginner is not a good move imo.. you'll prolly drop the bike and lose even more money not just from riding depriciation. Be patient and definately get your endorsement so you can test ride before you buy..
Right now I’m trying to get my parents to let me get a 250 cc. I’m limited to a grom right now but I really want to get a 250-300 class bike as my first
This is GSX 250R. Its a bike that is good for touring.. Unlike today there is a GSX R125 and GSX R150. But, there are rumors that Suzuki is now making a GSX R250. Not sure if their going to compete with CBR250RR which is way to OP(Overpower) engine, But it may start in a moderate power like the Yamaha R25.. But we will be expecting more from suzuki..so stay tuned.
No , the rumors are just that , rumors.
There's two leftovers sitting at my dealer for 3200 bucks new. Not the most exciting bike but I'm sure I could thrash it around for years with a smile. They also have a 2017 cbr 250 for 3700. I'll haggle them with cash maybe they budge.
You guys should review Honda all new CBR 250RR
Joshua Jones Nathanael it's not available in alot of countries
I saw a black one with a blue headlights...damn, looking so awesome, i hope it will be available in Europe in 2018, with those LED lights...
its way better 👌
but how much is it each month tho...
sir I want to buy new bike but I am confused between tvs Apache 160 4v and pulsar 150 twin disk ug5 , I am living in Uttrakhand hill station, My need power and mileage, sir please suggest me.
$4500? Holy shit. That's cheap. For such a beautiful bike.
This will definitely be my first leisure vehicle.
$700
Don’t say the Lords name in vain
Do a review of rr310
When it launch in INDIA?
It's time for a GSX450R :D
Put the Kawasaki400/KTM390/Honda500R to rest
I was constantly thinking whats wrong with this bike until you told about those 3 inches!!
'The Katana' which one? The one from '84?
Dont forget to review CBR250RR
Can came out and auto ?
This is a bike 🏍 that new riders, who just finished the msf classes or going to take an exam at the dmv, should get it. When I learned to bike I had no choice but to get 500cc or 600cc bikes because I couldn’t find one that was at 250cc. Fast, real fast, real heavy, does a lot of wobbles, scared the heck out of me first time but I handled it. Learn to adapt. So advice is, get that bike if you find one, get some practice then move to 600 or something like that. You’ll have fun teaching others as well.
It’s true that it’s more fun to ride slow bike faster than faster bike slow. Speaking from experience.
I own this beauty ! I cutomized it - With black variant and golden wheel base and golden Handle bar and accesories !! Its abliss to own this thing if you looking for an entry level bike ! Its the way to go Trust me !!!
Now im confuse on which bike should i buy. Suzuki gixxer250 or this suzuki gsx250r. Any suggestion pls
Neither. Ninja 400 or R3. Now the R3 is a blast, 400 is an awesome toy but wish that extra power was on the r3. but either is good for new riders to really learn also. Suzuki really dropped the ball on these power plants, and super heavy frames... don't waste your money. If you are in the usa, the gsx250 bikes are almost borderline dangerous for how slow they are.
Looks really well made. Bet the bike can last forever. 🌈 😎.
I loved Suzuki. 250 cc is good for me because I’m skinny 110 pounds just change the pipe
Great information 💁♀️ 👍, 👍 👌,
Howz the bike, ??
Should I buy it in india
But in india a version differs
Not available in india bro it's only for foreign version..in india it's Gixxer sf
ABS?
that guy corners like pro
what about apachi rr310
What is the price in india
Why does it looks like Yamaha Fazer 25? Cmiiw
I got to ride one of these at a Suzuki demo event, disappointing. I am all over little bikes like this, got to ride an R3 at an earlier yamaha demo event, and that bike was pretty fun. I also have a VFR 400 and four cylinder CBR 250R at home. This bike completely lacked excitement however. The throttle response was pretty dull, and the flywheel was too heavy. Don't get me wrong, it would be a great bike to teach someone how to ride, but it just doesn't excite. Revving the engine to the top does basically nothing, it really doesn't feel like it develops more power at higher revs.
The one thing it did excel at was fuel economy though. It took me a significant portion of the trip to figure out how to reset the fuel economy(reset the trip meter...). I did manage to reset it at a stop, and pulled down 86 MPG for the remainder of the trip. The undersquare engine and moderate compression ratio really help for efficiency. I don't know if the throttle is electronic or cable, but redesigning it so that the throttle does more at the beginning of the travel, plus a lighter flywheel would go a long way towards improving excitement. Meanwhile, with the R3 which I was able to reset right away, I got 65 MPG.
I go to much greater lengths for fuel economy that just about anyone, but I still wouldn't buy the GSX250R, it just isn't exciting enough.
0:38 was that cop ?
Yes.
I think they should have made it a 300cc like the other manufacturers, as it stands you're getting less for your money on this bike compared to a Kawasaki 300 per se for about the same amount of money. I'm all for learning on an entry low power bike but with this bike you'll be ready to upgrade in a month lol
Im 21 years old at 5feet 9inchs and 145 pounds, would this be a good first bike for me?
Yes it will. Buy one right away and then upload videos of it.
why there's no kawasaki zx25r review?
gixxer sf
apachi rtr 200
pulsar ns 200
which one should i buy i have budget around 1.2k
Ns200 bro
#SuzukiIndia please launch this in India.
It did launch, but as gixxer 250r
Vinoth Shepard currently we have only the Suzuki gixer 150 and we will see this GSX250R in 2018 for sure... May or may not make the same power as the outgoing international models.
yeah but it costs more than 4 lakhs....
Just get a Duke 250. It has more power.
