Gixxer SF250 Raw Footage Part 1

The latest Sport bike from Suzuki India's stable..The Gixxer SF250 is not a pure dedicated Sport Bike. It can be called a Sports tourer, judging from the placement of the foot controls, seat and handlebar relations..it's an all rounder with good enough power unit with a unique oil cooling system which Suzuki have perfected as they were the pioneer of oil cooling system way back in the 80"s.
The crowning glory of the SF250 is the chassis and suspensions unit.
Most bike we get here in India leans towards the commuter segment, and this almost always leads to a soft commuter bias suspensions. In the SF250 Suzuki have taken a bold leap by making the suspensions stiff enough to cater to the Sport riding riders, but not too stiff as to hamper touring and street commuting. Coupled with a capable chassis with a sporty geometry..we think Suzuki have hit a jackpot in the handling area of the SF250.
With 300mm disc at the front and a disc at the back, added with dual channel ABS, the riders are in good hands, although the initial bite of the front brake is slightly lacking, but the ABS is not too instrusive even for an avid Sport rider..So we are quite happy with the whole braking package. Although an ABS turn off switch will make it the ultimate package.
We've encountered a high frequency vibration from the engine at really high engine speed. But nothing at lower engine rpm..weather this will be a problem for you or not..you be the judge..
Styling is debatable, but we like the styling enough, as it is slightly different from what"s available in the market.
Conclusion..It's the best handling 250 readily available in the market, at least the ones we have tested..maybe not the fastest.
and with a price tag of a little less than 1.9 Lakh on road..its a great buy.
