Hi I have been trying to find out more about this, Iam looking at their website now and I see the 2023 is a GSX250F that pushes 26Kw, is that a diffrent bike to this?
I'm hopefully taking delivery of a 2024 model this week. I'm on the older side and this is my first bike, having not ridden a bike before. I hope I'm making the right choice.
@@Tonydalowk Hey guys. For what I wanted, the 250cc was not good enough. I wanted the sound of a 4 cylinder and the sportiness of a race bike. So I owned the 250cc for about a month after taking delivery. It served me very well and during my time with it I got used to riding and learning some of the basics. I have however changed it for a Ninja ZX6R which ticked all the boxes for me. I still miss the 250cc, because it was the best all round commuter being light on fuel and having a nice comfortable seating position.
I cannot wait to get this bike. after so much googling and asking around and just general research, i'm glad that this bike was suggested for a first bike. after this review it was just confirmed that i will be making the right choice.
@@jusdeeeit's pretty solid, you can adjust the rear suspension stiffness. 0-100kmh in less than 10 sec. Starting at 130, the acceleration gettin heavier, need a long track to reach it's top speed
Use a GS150R as a commuter & after hours delivery bike. Took a test ride on the Gixxer 250SF, more than ever convinced I want to upgrade to the naked version of this 250. Felt the punchy power, love ABS for safety & if it's as reliable Suzuki as my current bike, will be a great bike
FINALLY A SA REVIEW OF THIS BIKE. EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, was considering this bike or a low KM Harley for around the same price. But struggling to make up my mind
@@RichardCatto Haha, Harleys are amazing! Indian Scout is also a dream to drive. I will agree with you on the maintenance costs of a Harley though. Iam looking for a smaller bike, toss up between this and the R3.
I was looking at getting this bike myself. In matte black though. Looking forward to cruising around jozi on this. I’ve heard so many people complain about that rear break but overall great impressions. Thanks for this vid, mate!
Its the perfect bike for Johannesburg. Its not to big that you are always questioning gaps, nor is it to slow. If you are wanting one bike (on the smaller CC side of things) i would definitely recommend getting one, plus everyone thinks its a 600cc
Get the naked version, it's slightly cheaper. There's a black and white one which is totally awesome. I don't like the blue and yellow colour scheme either.
Good review. It's a fucking awesome bike with or without the fairing. I prefer the naked version in black and white. It's also slightly cheaper. Perfect commuter and easily does service as a delivery bike. You can sit on this bike all day long. Total joy to ride around on.
You don't need a fairing at all. It's for show mostly. On a naked bike, you only start feeling the wind pressure when you're pushing north of 120 km/h. This bike tops out at around 135 km/h if you push it, so it's expected you will cruise in the 100 - 120 range. There is a naked version of this bike and it's slightly cheaper.
I'm debating on getting either this bike or the gixxer 150. My initial thought was to get the 150 for the fuel economy, but i'm starting to lean in the direction of the 250
@omarelmahrouk5746 you're right but when they say liquid, they refer to coolant or water as cooling component while oil cooled means you're cooling the engine oil itself.
The Motor GP is a bit too much because a lot of people prefer the naked version, would you recommend it as a new bike for a new rider or I would start with the 150cc?
would a bit longer trips be enjoyable? kokstad to durban? looking at around 3 and half hours drive? also what mileage does a tank give? i am considering getting one of these
New vehicle U can top speed upto 154kmph....but due limiter it goes back to 152....after 2 to 3 service it can top upto 160kmph....if change to performance exhaust this can clock higher speeds
@@damianfreemanpif exhaust changed and RCDI installed....it can achieve... also some how if we are able to reduce the vehicle weight...it would achieve ease
@@dumbball1966 some bikes have factory manufactured alt rear sprockets for the purpose of changing the gearing ratio. The KTM 390 Duke comes to mind. I'm not sure if such is available for this bike.
The bike is awesome, however with the seating position there is some pressure on the wrists, I find after about an hour on the bike I feel abit cramped and my body gets sore. But when I get off and have a 5 minute rest then I am good to ride again for another hour with no issues
@@rustytanks yes also the milage on those liter bikes are insane I remember i was refuelling once i get out and once after i come back home ! When I’m not even revving it at all
WAY too low RPM. I have this bike, 4200 km's on it so far. I see you are in 6th gear at 60 km/h, you should be in at least 3rd, maybe even 2nd if a bit slower.
Having visited your beautiful country, Sept. 2019, for 14 days I have a desire to tour on a motorbike. My question is can a UK national buy and insure a new motorcycle like this. Would love to tour Western Cape, Route 22 etc. Also as a Himalayan rider do Royal Enfield sell their bikes in your country ? Best wishes from the UK.

In the video we mistakenly referred to the bike as a GSX250SF, the real name is in fact the Gixxer SF 250.
And it is oil cooled
Do you have the gixxer 150 ... cos i heard you refer to some 150

@@garethcollocott6310 GSX 250F is a sport bike while the gixxer is a sporty commuter. the gixxer is cheaper too.
Got this bike
Now 2100 kms and counting
Loving it a lot 😊
What tires it come with and how is the grip !
@@قيسأبوالسمن-ي6غ MRF REV Z .Grip is okok
@@kirandeep5717 Thz a lot
@@قيسأبوالسمن-ي6غ the grip is just fine. if you want fancy tires, just fit them.
@@RichardCatto appreciate it 💕💕

Finally someone speaking english...
I feel you bro 😂
Great Video - Had my Gixxer 250 SF now for 1000km loving it more everyday. Top speed is about 155-160km/h ;)
How is the ride at that speed? And does it struggle to reach it?
@@jusdeeeit's pretty solid, you can adjust the rear suspension stiffness. 0-100kmh in less than 10 sec. Starting at 130, the acceleration gettin heavier, need a long track to reach it's top speed
Thanks, I'm sold, looking for a smaller bike for a long time now, tired of the big bike

this bike was fun to ride for a 250cc...good smooth pickup... power delivery is nice...
The shop where you leave from is littarly the place where im buying my Gixxer 250 from😂😂

I will never buy Harley. It's overpriced American noise. If you want noise, buy a jackhammer.

26.5ps not 24kw, 12l tank but fuel light is flashing and i put 8l in for 340km. nice review

It is made in india and exported to japan among many other countries
Thanks for the epic work on this video dude
I guess this is not a liquid cooled this is an suzuki oil cooling system
Not an expensive bike compared to the competition. Especially if you look at the naked version
i think the windshield is a bit too small but it's a pretty good bike
You don't need a fairing at all. It's for show mostly. On a naked bike, you only start feeling the wind pressure when you're pushing north of 120 km/h.

You're absolutely right!! But imo, it would've looked better with a bigger windshield, that's all.
@@sourmiIk no problem. just install an after market clip on shield
I like it. Just $1,000 more than a Grom and look at how much more bike you get.
I'm debating on getting either this bike or the gixxer 150. My initial thought was to get the 150 for the fuel economy, but i'm starting to lean in the direction of the 250
What did you end up going with?
Any regrets with your decision?
@@mlibatisimamba5338 I got the 250. Great bike. I'm still very happy with it. Don't need more than 150km/p, and it's very economical.
How is it at 120km/h or on the highway
@@mlibatisimamba5338 I chose the 250cc. No regrets whatsoever. Not very fast, but definitely fun to ride and very comfortable.
@@humblespa6 It's very stable at 120kph. Very aerodynamic, too, so it cuts through the wind nicely.
Its not liquid cooled bt oil cooled
I get your point but Oil is a liquid
@omarelmahrouk5746 you're right but when they say liquid, they refer to coolant or water as cooling component while oil cooled means you're cooling the engine oil itself.
Awesome little piece of kit
The Motor GP is a bit too much because a lot of people prefer the naked version, would you recommend it as a new bike for a new rider or I would start with the 150cc?
Stuck between Gixxer SF 250 and Vstrom sf 250.
I have no idea which one i want, never owned a bike before.
If you only driving city streets go for the gixxer
Awesome video thank you. Could you please do a review on the cbr 250rr?
Can it be used for long rides or trips of about 700 kilos?
Kilos is weight, you mean kilometers/km? I am a bit confused.
Would you recommend this as a bike for a first time not young rider
just want to ask if this is a good beginner bike??
Just yesterday i bought a SF250 as my first bike for $3100 brand new. Hoping to learn a lot if stuff on it
And how has it been so far
Hey brother!! I have the same bike just the naked version.. but here in India the gixxer 250's r oil cooled not liquid
Here in sa its also oil cooled
would a bit longer trips be enjoyable? kokstad to durban? looking at around 3 and half hours drive? also what mileage does a tank give? i am considering getting one of these
12 litre tank, approx 30 km/l = 360 kilometres per full tank
New vehicle U can top speed upto 154kmph....but due limiter it goes back to 152....after 2 to 3 service it can top upto 160kmph....if change to performance exhaust this can clock higher speeds
CANNOT GET 160 KHM ALL OF THEM GO 147-151 STOCK EVEN WITH A LIGHT PERSON ON A FLAT NO LUCK FOR THIS BIKES GO GO BEYOND 150KHM
@@damianfreemanpif exhaust changed and RCDI installed....it can achieve... also some how if we are able to reduce the vehicle weight...it would achieve ease
If you wanna go north of 140 km/h, go for 600+ cc
gearing matter , using less teeth rear gear will make difference
@@dumbball1966 some bikes have factory manufactured alt rear sprockets for the purpose of changing the gearing ratio. The KTM 390 Duke comes to mind. I'm not sure if such is available for this bike.
Its an oiled cooled right?
Love the review. Just recently thought of starting riding and excited on the journey ahead 💯 glad I found a local channel
Hi all, anyone with more information on bikes, is it an ideal transport to do 400km trip it won't give a problem, not everyday, maybe once a week
The bike is awesome, however with the seating position there is some pressure on the wrists, I find after about an hour on the bike I feel abit cramped and my body gets sore. But when I get off and have a 5 minute rest then I am good to ride again for another hour with no issues
Nice review, bike suspension was a-bit firm for me so I adjusted to setting 3 (factory was at 4)
what difference does that make can u tell?
$46,500?! Over here in NZ they are $5,000 grand at minimum....
the currency is Rands, currently R54 250 , that's about $2,964.85
Are u dumb cunt he said 4.500
my first bike ♥️
It's SOCS oil cooled engine bro, not liquid cooled.
Oil is still a liquid tho
@@christhefish8325 Okay bro, use engine oil as substitute to your coolant in your liquid cooled bike. 😂
Beautifully landscape.
This bike is awesome ❤️
is it good for daily commute ? i was riding zx10r lol sold it tho and now i want small thing for just casual rides any suggestions ?
May be go to yamaha?
I'm also looking into one these, sold my R1, back and neck can't take it anymore
@@rustytanks yes also the milage on those liter bikes are insane I remember i was refuelling once i get out and once after i come back home ! When I’m not even revving it at all
A 250cc is a delivery class bike. It's meant to run all over town all day long.
WAY too low RPM. I have this bike, 4200 km's on it so far. I see you are in 6th gear at 60 km/h, you should be in at least 3rd, maybe even 2nd if a bit slower.
I think its oil cooled atleast the one I remember seeing

You can I'm sure of it, I wouldn't recommend it now - SA is going through a bit of turmoil
1 cylinders? Ermm
Goes tops 155 kmph
Misleading name to make use believe they brought back the 250cc 4 cylinder. But it’s just another underpowered two cylinder
It's 1 cyl.
I still have mine. 96 model gsx250f 4 cylinder. Dont think ill ever part with it, even though I daily my 2010 cb400
How do u feel while riding the bike ?
Like you're flying an F-16 Fighting Falcon
oil cooling that is much better than a liquid cooled ktm rc and duke 200
not liquid cooled, oil cooled brother
nice bike
Where are you from?
He's from South Africa
He's from Bangladesh
Liquid cooled?
Oil cooled.
What is 150?
@Gajendra Singh 😂🤣😂🤣
Will it go pass 100
Easily
155-160 top speed (stock)
Hei..bro..how much vibration is there in that 250?
Not too much. Quite stable.
Only at 3rd gear u may get some slight vibrations under seat and mirrors...rest all gears are smooth and torque
250cc là 1 lựa chọn tốt cho người lái nước ngoài, nhưng ở việt nam không được ưa.thích cho lắm ❤❤❤❤
That is oil cooled.
This bike is in fact heavier than the old GS500 on half the power.
All motorcycles vibrate and that’s why more women rides. Hehehe!
If only they offered that color scheme in the states ….we only received the lame boring plain colors
JESUS IS COMING ❤ God bless my brother❤
