Oil cooled .... Cheap . .. practical... Reliable... Fun to ride with enough kick from that 250 cc engine. Comfortable ride... Choosing naked or faired... won't make you regret. What else you need. This is pure practical fun. Let's be responsible.....Period! Love from India.

I've owned the faired version of gixxer 250 and I've already created a lot of memories with this beauty. Never regretted the decision even once!

If others are making 300sto 400s, then I am glad Suzuki is still making a 250. The less power the bike, the more you control it. Powerful bikes control you. All this varies in degrees to your skill level. If you are trying to learn new skills, ( even if you are a experienced rider ) using a less powerful bike is a good place to start. It is ego ( wanting to display an image ), that criticizes this bike. When traveling to certain counties that do not have large displacement bikes, I have the time of my life on 125, 180, 200cc and scooters. I am saying this from personal experience.

In short thats most riders down fall..."my bike is faster syndrome"

I currently own this bike and I love it! Where I live, there are no open stretches or highways where you really need to wring out the throttle so a peppy engine like this with a beautiful fairing and a comfortable seating position is kinda all I'd ever need

Love the humor, the summary at the end is right on point, nicely done.

I am riding this bike from last 8 months and it's a awesome bike. It's oil cooling system is equivalent to the lequid cooling system. I didn't get any heating issue. Also engine is so refined and smooth. It's a perfect bike to ride in Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵 hilly snake roads. 🏍️🏍️🏍️

This is one of the cheapest to own and maintain, quarter litre single cylinder in the market. The service cost is usually around ₹1500-2000 ($20-25) in India. Easy to maintain, fun to ride, comfortable ergonomics and suitable for both city and highways.

I absolutely love the show keep up the good work guys!

Donavan Love your humor... brings back the years my first legal road bike was a Honda MB5 no street cred at all

I own 19 bikes in my 28yr of riding (still have 4 with me today) from 125cc to 1731cc & I must say in term of cost, usability & reliability, it has to be the Suzuki GN125!!! a blood* old, air cool engine that I can go on full throttle for the whole day, year after year & it never failed me until I sold it off @8.5yo :)

43 yr old me, with a 14 yr old, wanting to buy his own bike at 16 is looking at the 150 and 250.... might have to do the responsible 250😂😂

Love this well done Don!!!!

Well 54 year old me thinks thanks for the video

Great balanced review, just some facts and an offer to let viewers make their decision. Appreciated.

I've said it quite a few times over the years. 250cc might be enough for light loads and slower roads. 300-400cc is plenty for power on legal roads. Anything over that is purely WANT. I had dollops of fun on the little Ninja 250. It was a more relaxed ride as a commuter.

@@michaelotieno1564 if you're not doing silly things with it, sure. But that's a lot of power and weight to handle. Remember: speeding up is easy. Slowing down and turning is not.

let me give you the ladder we need to climb from the lowest level cc to 250 or quarter liter as i like to call it, here in India. We start off with something called TVS Heavy Duty XL which has a 70cc engine. Then we have 100cc, 110cc, 125cc, 150cc, 160cc, 180cc, 200cc, 220cc, and at the end of it all we have 250cc. So as you can see, the 250cc bike sits at a much higher pedestal. So for us, a 250cc is like a wow, that's powerful bike kinda territory.

I have a GSXS750 2021 which I love but I am buying one of these also for two reasons. Keep the kms off the 750 and to commute to work 60 kms a day. Comfortable as hell and still good fun.

The 1990s GSXR250 blows all of these out of the water. That thing used to rev to something crazy like 18, 000 rpm and it was a 4 stroke.

4 cylinder and shorter stroke with most of mechanical parts. Today, if they want to reproduce, they will have to incorporate too much electronics, so economically not that viable.

I started out on 250cc’s and ran over mountains and down to the seas....13000 plus miles before i got something bigger

What is the top speed of the naked 250 n really need to find out looking at witch one to please help out thanks, this video helps alot and is made perfect.

Because of lightness but It has power lack

looks great , rides well, and I love Susuki's just one little adjustment increase the power to 34hp maybe 300cc size can do it.. I would love to have little more reassurance on the bigger and faster roads to move away when I have to. city riding im sure is fine.

BRAVO SUZUKI INDONESIA NYALAKAN NYALI. Full power. 👍👍👍👍👍👌

Yep I agree with you mate. I just bought the naked version two weeks ago and... I was looking for the duke 250 but this gixxer is far more cheaper than the ktm. I also said to myself that I should be wise and responsible.. I wont go racing evryday on the street. I want something which is fun in the city and something confortable on the highway. Between the duke and the guxxer there's only 3.5hp difference. And you know what now. I dont even regret going towards the gixxer now

@@DRS0395 no complaint at all bro. Except for the mirrors. Most of the time it's your arms that you're seeing. The sittting posture is nice and comfortable. No pain at all on your wrists. That 6 speed gearbox is awesome. What I like most is that headlight. That LED healight surpasses anything in the 250 segment. Even better than the duke. At night it gives you confidence. You can enjoy a night ride saying to yourself that it is safe and you can see what is inf front of you. No need to tell you about full headlight now. Concerning Negative points Suzuki could have welded the chassis with more precision. It would have been a good thing if they included the side stand notification on the dash. Lots of times I forget to remove the side stand before going. It's pretty frustrating. But as a whole, I think that this gixxer is really good value for money. It doesn't leave the duke 250 that much. There are things that the duke has, that it hasn't. There are things that gixxer has, that the duke hasn't. Two distinctive bikes. But this gixxer, with its abs, its led healight, its engine, its gearbox, its power, its confort, its style and above all its price- under 2lakhs- is really good value for money. I like the bike. I made a wise choice

Enjoyable vid. I think they look good but the engine's pretty poor imo. I'm sure they're still quite fun but Suzuki should really put a 300/400cc 40+bhp motor in that chassis to properly compete with everyone else.

@jeffrosamson I get what you mean but that wasn't my point. Maybe I didn't make this clear but I'm not saying Suzuki should make a more powerful version instead of this, it's a decent enough affordable bike, I meant as well as this. There's no progression in their small bike range beyond this like the other manufacturers. All the other manufacturers also have 300-400cc 40ish bhp bikes in this segment. I would like Suzuki to offer something along those lines too as I like their bikes. I've had 4 of them before. However look at the sales figures for the CBR, ZX4 & R3 compared to Suzuki's offerings & they're getting slaughtered. Just meant there's a gap in Suzuki's range for a more exciting small capacity sports bike which are currently selling well & better than this for other brands....in Europe at least. Hope that makes more sense now.

Gixxer pretty woman always

70 year old me 73kg thinks, maybe i should sell my cbf600s and buy a 250 Suzuki Gixxer 36k/lit low maintenance , sexy bike etch !!!!!?

Do this is a single? Strange! It's a twin everywhere else in the world.
