2017-suzuki-gsx-r250-6

With the confirmation that the Suzuki GSX-R1000 L7 will enter the market in 2017, along with the baby GSX-R125, Suzuki has now shown its offering at the other end of the sportsbike spectrum, the 2017 GSX-R250. Set to enter the crowded quarter-litre sportsbike class, the GSX-R250 follows design cues from the big Gixxer 1000 closely, according to reports carried in China online media.

With the 248 cc parallel-twin engine taken from the Suzuki Inazuma, the GSX-R250 is claimed to produce 24.6 hp at 8,000 rpm and 23.4 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Power gets to the ground via a six-speed gearbox, and the quarter-litre Gixxer weighs in at 178 kg. Fuel is carried in a 15-litre tank.

Braking is with a single disc front and rear, measuring 290 mm and 240 mm respectively, and seat height is a very rider-friendly 780 mm. Built in the Changzhou Haojue Suzuki Motorcycle facility in CHina, there are six colour schemes available for the 2017 Suzuki GSX-R250 – Poseidon Blue, Glacier White, Cool Black, Fashion Black, Transparent Red/Black and Crystal Blue/White. Availability in the China motorcycle market is said to be November 2016.
