- hi guys, just as you requested, here's my review of the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 BS7 where I give you a quick overview of the bike, what's new, and also share my quick ride impression and top speed run.
- Авто та транспорт
I had Mt-15, and now i am having SF250. Man it's one of the coolest bike where chapris not thinking of buying. It's good to be underrated.because i can see only few sf250 on the roads,
True
There you go.. I love it overall but then there's this unique reason I love it even more. You don't get to see another guy on red light with the same bike. I feel sorry for MT15. People fail to understand that chapris but all these expensive bikes from pre-owned market, MT15 Duke's and all KTM machines are the from a group that requires a lot of care and maintainance, people buy all these and then get agitated for the maintenance it demands , eventually selling it to these chapris.
@@AutonationInc nah. I sold MT because of high windblast and not enough power. I still have R15v2 2013 model. If i ride r15 i don't get tired but if i ride mt i get tired because of windblast. So i sold that and bought gixxer because this is the only sports bike with good pillion support. About to book rr310 but because of back seat i bought gixxer. But this bike is really cool btw.
do the vehicle have any other downgrades that i hvae to know before owning a sf 250 ???
@@pavankumaraakash people were telling that service is worst, i haven't faced any issue till now. And mileage u get around 35kmpl average. Vibration is there not too much.visor is useless, i bought face mask from one custom seller.
I would suggest go for a test drive whatever bike on ur list. Don't go with reviews.
If only suzuki redesign the front with bigger windshield, this is a rocket for it's price 🔥
That's the point 🤟
And lower handle bars
@@Oatmeal4Breakfast nah too uncomfortable, this is supposed to be a sports tourer
@@thatonerandomguy9764 I don't want sports tourer models. They take away the character of the bike and don't have a place. Just like crossovers and compact SUVs and compact sedans. They don't have character and look quite odd. If only Suzuki made the bike like R15 ergonomics. It will sell like hot cakes.
Bought this bike in November 2022. Great bike. No complaints till now. Great in commuting and has enough power (27ps almost) to give you the thrills. The engine too is super smooth.
Same here.. I bought it last year at Ashtami, When you open the gas in a good tour you get to know it's overtaking capabilities not to forget it's smooth af in 6th gear and pulls like race horse. I extract a mileage of 32 - 37 KMPL depending on how I ride. I recently did a 217KM highway run and rest in the city. 140 KMPH max, avg 75 KMPH in the city.. which it goes pretty quick and smoothly and is still in control. I love it. The most annoying part of the bike is mirror, there's just no escape from it.
@@AutonationInc I also found the windscreen to be a bit small but it's no surprise. But there are plenty of aftermarket solutions for that.
And I reached a top speed of 153 kmph 🥹
@@_sh19 after 2nd servicing it's 35kmpl
@@_sh19 the maximum I got was 37. But I drive in Bangalore traffic so that's a factor too.
@@_sh19always get around 40-41 in city.
Highway I got around 47kmpl.
Been a Dino's family since 4 years and enjoy every video yours keep growing dino bro......
was waiting for your review on this upgraded bike so badly eagerly Dino bhai... thanks a lot 👍
Good bless you...
One of the best, reliable, and excellent tractable 250 engine, gem of a performer. One needs to spend time with this machine to know how this to thing performs. Sadly, people are stuck with NS 200, RS 200 and all the other garbage in between.
really this is a over priced garbage 😂
my grandpa had this tech in 1940😂
its a Asian version SOHC oil cooled engine NO DOHC liquid cooled and slightly over priced. the global version is same 250cc Liquid cooled DOHC and a different instrument console, to reduce cost further they launched this intermittent version for a taste. buyers today are very smart . and its very outdated missing most of modern tech
@@phantom2k858 What do you expect, a jet engine? C'mon man, get a life.. There's a reason why your granpa tech is still reliable than today's electronic infested garbage. 😆
@@snoopdeckin But this still makes slightly more power, compact and does everything well than the twin. It's slightly over priced yes, but you pay for the quality of components used when you compare it to a Bajaj..
Like the bike your review also very smooth brother.
I always like the content you prEsent which in your own style. Keep it Up.
I like suzuki as u said its unnoticed by many. If an engine is rEv happy and vibe frEe in rEdline and thats the engine tO live witH
This bike needs a little modern touch. Modern headlight design, a taller windshield, USDs etc. and people gonna love it.
I've been watching your content from 17, you gotta add some good editing in your videos. Content wise your videos are great
Suzuki can do more with this. Add modes, make it more fast. Add some features like usd forks, led indicators, the way they had crafted the tank is awesome but the fairing now looks dated
Add price. It'll go till 2.4 lakh ex showroom if they do all that. See what has happened with R15
Hi Anna, Ur review is excellent with good technical explanation. Continue the same and we are expecting the more.
Just today thinking about this review from you anna❤❤❤ and i got it🎉🎉🎉

Can you please check if it touches 150Kmph?
@@seepranavg it easily does that. I've done it multiple times. Goes pretty smoothly. Rest 140KMPH is for the recent tour I had.
What's the issue with the mirror?
mirror gets loose, no matter how much you try to tighten it.
@@AutonationInc I own gixxer sf 2016 model bro. I know the pain🥲
Booked the Gixxer 250 naked version. Will take delivery in 2 weeks. Thanks Dino anna for your wonderful reviews

Owning this bike :D, loving it
Subscribed sir...sir pls also add up ur short dance clip....i have seen that in one of ur video where u have shown quick short steps....looked gr8
Waiting to watch on this review ... 🎉
I bought this bike
Pros:
1.Excellent torque producing engine,very good power as well.
2.sharp cornering can be done
3.Excellent fuel efficiency
4.stylish looks,good Led headlight
5.power is very linear and enjoyable
Cons:
1.aggressive seating
2.its a small bike
3. Very bad wrist pain when driven long
4.dome is lower set so very bad windblast
6.vibrations in the pegs and handlebar in higher rpms nearing red line
We don’t rev much to red line still it is the best sports tourer
I don't feel low end power in this bike. Might be some issues..need to check in service center..also I hear some chain noise. Just completed 3k odometer..
Dino, its good to hear your Hyderabadi accent bro! I have subscribed btw
SUZUKI GIXXER SF 250
BORN OF GREATNESS❤
SUPERB BIKE ⚡🔥
The most ingnored motorcycles nowadays are the Bajaj 220 street and cruise. Almost all top vloggers have forgot them .
Yes, correct...
Still, I would expect Bajaj to introduce Avenger with Dual channel ABS...
👍👍👌👌
Bro please excuse me if I'm wrong, Those bikes (Bajaj cruise 220) are not so reliable on long run and they miss out the value for money proposition. That is why Bajaj launched f250/n250. Even then we Indians are still clinging to those old unreliable, outdated engines. Take a look at new p150, no one are buying it since it's introduced... all want to buy the same old pulsar 150 dtsi. Our thinking should change with time, Bajaj done a huge r &d after tying up with ktm and launched new bikes...but we are not supporting them and we are asking them to give us the same old vehicles, instead of newly released f250/n250.
You should also ignore or forget it
Bajaj himself is the reason for it ignoring them.😢
Avenger 220 platform is way much better than TVS ronin. It looks like an absolute cruiser
Great video!!!
it is one of my fav bikes. i had duke 390 until 2021, but i regretted later for not buying this bike. looks fantastic.
Is it that good?
Don’t have many options in faired bike category.
It is actually, once you start living with it you realise it's very friendly. You don't have to make alot of efforts in any areas. Great mileage, and it's smooth af, excellent parts quality and fit and finish is exceptional. All these are Japanese character.
Great vid thanks Dino, been thinking of buying one new. My only problem is my weight I'm over 120KG's. I want to use it for a 10KM commute. Or should I rather look at the SV650?
Reduce weight
I subscribed
Keep going 🎉❤
Hey dino bhaiya hope you r doing great
Just wanted to ask you if I want to buy a bike around 2 lakh thinking about ns200 because I like naked design and comfort so should I buy this bike or increase the budget a bit more and go for Gixxer 250 naked
P.s pillion comfort is also a priority 😅
Hello Dino bhai, could you please help me choose between the Honda CB350RS and the st250? I am confused which to go for. My rides are mixed between highways and daily office commute. I am looking for a reliable vehicle with good fuel efficiency. I also want to start touring. What would you suggest?
One of the best underrated bike 💯
Great Review! One question: If a person is willing to buy this bike, but at the same time, considers the Duke 200 as an option, should he switch to the Duke or stick to this one? Thanks!
Stick to this one..KTM is revolution... SUZUKI is evolution
I just don't understand why this bike is so underrated. The R15M in Nepal costs almost 6 Lacs (NPR) while this motorcycle (BS6) costs 5 Lacs (NPR). At that point, its almost a no brainer, and yet people flock towards Yamaha YZF r15 instead. The SF 250 in Nepal costs less than the Dominar 250, the Duke 200, and the naked version of Gixxer 250 costs less than the N250, even. AND YET. They don't get the Suzuki motorcycles. The dealerships are well established, you see the older 155cc Gixxer with the halogen headlamps all over Nepal and yet, the new Gixxer 250 and SF 250 both are nowhere to be seen.
Same thought bro same
People in Nepal have been either brainwashed by Yamaha or they simply don't need/want more power for less. 🤷
looks definitely matters. If they change the design of the front end to more aggressive ones, definitely people will start buying it. Most people aren't willing to buy a decent looking bike with great performance but instead they want a great looking machine with good performance.
@@nigeshdk2280 That says a lot of the Nepalese society, knowing in what they base their bikes purchases makes me feel uneasy, but anyways.
Because of the bland color on the fairing. People want their bikes to be noticed and they don't even bother to offer glossy color options or good graphics. The tail light looks amazing but the rest of the bike is just meh. Also the clutch is pretty hard on gixxers they could add slipper clutch as option. Whoever is taking the design calls at Suzuki is ruining it for them.
Having gixeer sf 150 2016 varaint bike its still a beauty and engine has lot of life still left. Want to upgrade to sf 250 😊
New and just subscribed!
Subscribed :) How is the wind blast post 90kmph
Beautiful scenery and nice video.I like your video somuch. My Support with you always.❤😂🎉😢😢
as a south african ....thank you very much for the english review. ive got mine 2 months ago and the only issue ive got is the vibrations from 110kph and gear changing that's not smooth at the moment. and the windscreen .....
Tell me more Francois. I'm keen on buying this bike as my first bike. Any other issues I should be wary of. Saw a good one second hand.
Op bro what a beautiful bike
i love this bike. From srilanka 🇱🇰
1. Slipper clutch (Current one is slightly hard create some pain in long traffic)
2. Ride connect app is clunky and won't work at times
3. Seat is bit firm
Dino Bhai, side stand cut-off not available after so many updates???😢
Should I buy this and spend money on gear or shall I wait for R3 that is launching in dec 2023-march2024. I❤ R3
I am not able to find the motoGP edition anywhere in Hyderabad. Also, which suzuki showroom is a reliable one in hyderbad?
Request to upload videos in Hindi also since you give lot of information. Also you r top Automobile you tuber. Northern India and Northeast should also benefit from your knowledge. Good afternoon Dada
Gr8 motorcycle,riding since 2020 ,rode around 28k kms . Still like new . It's a great fun bike with awesome power and mileage.
do feel that the rear brakes are lacking? like they do not apply and you have to push it all the way down?
@@pratiknaikawadi592 I have bs6 model sf250, 3 years old and 25K done. Yes, I feel the bite of rear brake is very poor and the ABS comes into play very quickly.
Mileage how much
Can you do review of latest vstrom 250, please
Superb 🎉
Looks cool. Hope they dont ruin it with USD forks happening with many bikes.
Dino Anna, subscribed your channel 👍
I have 2020 model.. Loving it but having mileage issue, getting 25km per liter in city. Does anyone knows whats the issue? Thanks
Good video
Mine BS4 real beast ❤
Yes bro I had one no chapri r15 and rs even catch me
190 TH LIKE SUUPEERRR FANTASTIC HIIIIIII DINO SIR WHTSUP HOW YOU DOING HOPE GREAT THANKS FOR YOUR VALUABLE INFORMATION KEEP IT UP 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🏍🏍🏍
I own a 2020 bs4 Gixxer sr 250 rode 31k+. Km its still now as fresh as its bought 8 had checked 3 time mileage test first try 37 in city and second 41 in city third 51 in city no chapri r15 and rs even duke 250 catch me because its has more raw Power its a gem 💎 in the segment
Owned one from 2020 to 2022. Nice machine low maintenance high on average 42km/l avg
Only issue i had with the riding position.
what about riding position?
@@seepranavg little on committed side. Not like ktms or r15 but still felt pain back on day to day usage of around 60km ride
The riding comfort is painfull, like riding a horse, you must squeeze your knees to the tank, keeps you fit and strong 😂, go to gym and do squats and burbeeps before you ride this bike😂, the fuel mileage is amazing, and can overtake, highway driving is good 130kmh no problem.
Only legends know the value of suzuki gsx lineup.
i am confused should i buy cbrR or gixxer
What about Run in period for this? 150kmph in first run. Any lesson on that?
As long as the bike is a demo/test ride unit, who cares about run-in.
The run-in period for Gixxer 250 is 1000 km and the rpm limit for these 1000 km is given at 5000 rpm.
What's the on road price 🤔
please suggest motul 7100 or ecstar r9000 which is better for this machine ? currently using ecstar and gear shifting is hard and notchy .
Recently i switched to motul 7100 coz of gear shifting issues... Now it's a beast
Is this comfortable for pillion..i mean carrying mom and all ?
Love u sir ji❤
Thank you
Slipper clutch?
Any update news of new Bs6 Phase 2 TVS Apache rr 310?
Holy molly 150🤯
Suzuki should take some front design inspiration from the GSX
most underrated 250...but beautiful machine ❤
Finally changed from BS7 to BS6 Phase 2, But description la innum change pannala mamae 😁😁 😁
most underrated bike
This bike is understed which makes its rare on the road and i happy with its underated 😂😅
Brilliant machine marred by the visor. Aerodynamics and wind blast ruins the experience of the ride, even though you are seated on the bike and not in it. Still for tall riders, suzuki must do something about this.
There are lots of issues with the temperature of the oil and vibration of this engine. While this has been solved to an extent on the vstorm 250, it is still evident on the sf and gixxers.
Apart from engine, gixxer offers nothing as compared to other rivals. At under 3 lakh price point, they are not even providing slipper clutch, quickshifter which is hilariously disappointing. There is a reason bajaj bikes sales are increasing every year, they are easy and cheap to maintain, parts too are affordable plus they offer very good performance and ride quality under budget.
You're probably the first person to ever complain about vibrations in a Gixxer. I can't wait till you try a pulsar especially the pulsar 200s

Hi bro can you pls do a video on r15 vs gixer
Most underrated bike
I recently purchased gixxer 250 naked eye bs 7🎉❤
Sir on road price
Compare to duke 200 having less power than gixxer and overheating issue but suzuki engine very reliable compare to KTM motorcycles
I m using this bike bs4 version .. in 2020 from till date no issue .. engine works fine ...easily handled in traffic .smooth ride underrated beast on 250 segment . Service's cost in budget. Overall, I am happy with bike performances. 🏍 don't listen to the chhapries r15 riders.
Sitting posture is comfortable. Your back doesn't get hurt on long rides, no starin on the neck and wrists.
Great❤
i just bought it 3 months back..
pros -
-super smooth n creamy engine even at high speed,
-super fast n torque,
-comfortable rider seat,
-good front brakes,
-cheap maintained,
-big macho bike feel,
-gripey tires
cons -
-ride connect inaccurate, looks unprofessional. not accurate like google map.
-front windshield too short for bike of this size.
-rear seat too small
-rear brakes need more bite.
-service center is common for Suzuki scooter n bikes..
-mirrors do get lose fast cos of that single bolt connection if u close them every time during parking time.
-chrome plated exhaust looks cheap, should have been black or grey.
- plastic fin on the tail rod below rear light is unnecessary.
How do you like people looking at your bike everytime you are on the road haha. I am happy that I bought this too and it does everything so well. The true feel of this bike is on Highways and long rides. 🫶
I have this since 2020, wanted to know if anyone is having problems with the front suspension? The oil seal of the right fork broke at 6000 km & now the left one at 13000 km
the service center said it happened because of dust, yet this didn't happen of my previous bike until 37000 km, it was a 1st gen FZS
I bought it when it was launched

I think Suzuki has got left far behind already for 3-4 yrs now. Despite the competition, if Suzuki thinks these specs and features will attract buyers, good luck Suzuki. Biking enthusiasts in India these days expect versatility and all round features not just the engine or smooth clutch etc. this does not even have slipper clutch! This generation is looking for quickshifter so this one is for the museums 😅
...no usd forks, no perimeter or a trellis frame, no alloy swing arm, no slipper clutch, no traction control, no quick shifter , still the price is extremely high !! So !! a big NO to suzuki !!😠😠
Well,, quick shifter wasn't a thing before KTM RC390 and Yamaha R15v4 so I don't think its really a big deal but slipper clutch and upside down forks, those are some premium features that are to be expected from an expensive bike
More features means price also goes up. Yamaha r15 costs same as gixxer 250 because of the so called features.
@@aravind_sasidharan Absolutely right my brother
@@ampassionstruck9138 complaining about the frame... looks like you have never ridden a gixxer...
One gen ahead of competition with BS7
Owner pf 1st gixxer sf250 in kolkata from May 2019 bs4 model. Suzuki should know by now that the bike don't sell because of the bikini windshield but they don't care.
In my humble opinion there are three things Suzuki must change in SF 250.
1. They should design more sporty exhaust. This one looks like commuterish.
2. More sporty and tall visor this one is so ugly.
3. RVM are huge like elephant's ears they should go for more sleek unit
And lastly the slipper clutch.
Guys, I tried Yamaha FZ, Yamaha MT15, Hero Xtreme 160 4V, Apache 160, Honda Hornet 2.0, Triumph speed 400, Apache 200 - Look - Dont go by specs, value for money and so on..Just ride the bike, feel it, enjoy it, is it comfortable, do you like the engine refinement, is the power good for you. I dont care for these LEDs, color schemes, bluetooth etc, Need ABS, disc brakes and lovely engine - Suzuki is a beast, totally in love it. Once i tried the Gixxer SF 250 - Comfort, power and looks are just spot on for me. Did not even read the spec sheet or VFM calculations. Below 200 cc bikes are commuter bikes, period. No sporty etc. Hero engine felt strained and the power ramped up to max engine capacity, FZ i ll honestly buy splendor, MT15 no torque i dont like such small engines strained though refined, Apache was great but cant stand the posture, its neither sporty not straight, Hornet too stiff, Triumph too heavy for city riding for me. Royal enfield - too heavy clutch and not enjoyable, highways it will be enjoyable i guess, but compared to the smile the Gixxer (both 155 and 250) put on me, nothing comes close. But 250 is for me, since i like the effortless power.
I wish Suzuki gives the customers more choice of colours for their excellent products , 😢😢😢
Evening is good about Suzuki bikes the only problem is service and spare parts availability.
I have 7 8 gixxers in group in every bikes have some problems some facing cone set issues hadle wobbles above 80 some gas kit getting leakage and some have headlight blinking issues...suzuki have to work on these issue.. otherwise engine is just makkhan..
