Confused styling.. doesn't have that "oomph" factor.
So much could have been possible with that Liquid Cooled, Twin Cylinder 250 cc.

Very vintage looking bike. I think, in the styling dept, it just needs little bit of tweaking. Split seats, carbon finish / matte black exhaust & may be change the alloys. It would straight away appeal to the mass. And this modification must not cost much. It would then be very interesting to see response. Those who are now loathing the bike will certainly have a shift in liking.

When we spend that kind of money on a bike we definitely want something stylish. After all this is India. One of us should be the design heads at Suzuki.... Plonk in that parellel-twin on a sporty chassis, throw in the GSX-R styling, price it above the CBR and a tad below the Ninja, and it will sale like hot cakes killing the CBR and catching the Ninja by the neck. Cant they see the obvious fact or are they not researching our market. The best they can come up with is a bike with a confused styling, which isn't much of a success internationally either.

I agree. Ever since suzuki came back into the indian market with the Zeus and Heat i was waiting for something that falls into the sports category and not the commuter category. Atleast something on the likes of the R15 or the CBR150R. But They are going the "Commuter" way lately. And this 250 is the ugliest of the lot. Makes me wonder if suzuki is going bankrupt ![]() The front fender looks like it was hammered out of desperation for sticking out a bit

Ouch!
That was as un-diplomatic as it can get!Quote:
B-King inspired huh Suzuki? Yeah maybe, but a 10 year old Karizma looks better to me than this... Suzuki has so many good designs from other bikes. Can't it copy something useful? This is what we need Suzuki. Wake up please: ![]() We want Powerpuff Bikes and all we are getting is Mojo Category bikes.

*sigh* The same company that gave us the Shogun!
![]() Looks sadly disproportionate. Please Suzuki, wake up to the current scenario and treat us likewise. Trust me, we'll all be present at the party!

A parallel twin 250cc from Suzuki which under cuts the CBR250Rs price tag, and you guys still complain! Sigh!

Is that a morphed picture? If not, it looks so evenly proportioned and good looking. Which model is this? This IS the bike, which Suzuki should bring here, and not some ugly duckling called BKing!!
