The Suzuki Inazuma 250 ridden and reviewed by xBhp. Complete details, specs and price.
Suzuki Inazuma: The Time MachineLooksPerformanceAural
Sounds decent, in-between the single cylinder CBR250 but definitely not sweet as the Ninja 250 at higher revs. But you will get heard if you are maxing it out at 10500 rpm or thereabouts.
Rideability
The bike is incredibly easy to ride. Flip the stand, thumb the starter and you are off. Everything is very functional and the seat is widest in class offering great comfort, especially for the pillion. The build quality is also very good, the kind expected from Suzuki.
What Else?
The success of this bike will depend on the price and the positioning. It can be marketed any which ways, but there are bikes which do not need any marketing and the customer knows they are worth their salt. The Suzuki Hayabusa was an insane success. The Suzuki Bandit 1250 was also a plain looking bike but very functional and served the purpose. It was a decent success. However the IZ250 is different, it is competing in an already very competitive market and its major buyers will be the youth who are very tired of going through decades of drought of good performance bikes in India. I am not sure if they would like to relive that again.
Put this mill into a mini BKing or a GSXR 250 if you may and I will line up first to buy it!

) designs of motorcycles before, for example Yamaha Libero, which looked horrible. The wide seats, importance given to pillion seating as well, commuterish (which means good for your back!) seating are perfect. The GS150R has official tank capacity of 15.5, and people have reported filling above 17 liters in that tank. Here the bike is bigger, and still tank capacity is lower. Wonder whether those side fins ate up the tank space!
and nice simple and small review.
