Can’t help but wonder why suzuki didn’t come up with twin cylinder for it’s 250cc line up just like her direct competitor.
2 cylinder and you’re competing with kawasaki and yamaha. 1 cylinder then they dealing with Honda (except the rr). I guess they pick their competition.
Still not a good decision. Honda at least has good design and a strong following cult. Suzuki has just started (again). They have strong competition from similarly priced twin cylinders Modenas(100% Kawasaki, rebadge). Not to mention, most 250cc buyers comes from single cylinder kapchai owners that have desire for twin cylinder that produce more power.
of all 3 of Suzuki 250cc model..i think v strom 250sx is the best looking.
This model came out with very ugly design!! Why don’t Suzuki hired a good designer like before!! Like they produce a Suzuki gsx 1100 Katana!! It is not impossible if Suzuki do one more time.
Design for india market maybe by their indian too. Obviously the taste slightly different from the rest of world
Me sad when it’s not gsx250.
CKD selling rm21K? seriously this is wow expensive, the price same as imported motor. India price about rm12k. MY price almost double up ><
I am a Gixxer 155 carb user and this is my first bike ever ..I love Suzuki but, I think it’s good for they’re 250cc to make a twin cylinder. When it happen I will not go to other brands of motorcycle if I will upgrade my 155cc bikes ✌️
