Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report


WTH!! Even Karizma is capable of doing this!!

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

Thats why it will not sell if priced more than 1.2 lacs. Even at this price also it has less survival chances.

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

The fairing version actually looks pretty sweet.
Wouldn't it have been a good move by Suzuki to pitch this as a budget sports-tourer? As Sunny said, it could do 80-90kph all day and frankly given the state of our highways that's a lot to ask for! So far the heavy duty touring market is cornered by Enfield and the CI block bikes feel slightly dodgy if you keep them over 90 for prolonged stretches. I stick to 75ish for longer rides, a 6-speed oil cooled tourer that can operate continuously over 80 would actually go down well with a lot of people.

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

In a way it's perfect for India. Come to think of it, the crowd won't notice this bike in traffic. Maniacs won't race to you now and then. Psychos won't key the bike out of resentment.

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

Honestly, observing this bike for the last couple of months have made the looks kinda grow on me. If the price is really ~1.1L then the ZMR might find a reason to worry. Sad to know that being a 250cc, it still can't do an all-day-100 cruising. Sunil ji, any inputs on the FE? Will it beat the CBR on the FE part?

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

I would be surprised if this thing finds success here, i am not sure which segment is Suzuki trying to target with this, i am sure they can launch something less boring with two cylinders.

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

The half faired version would surely sell, if priced right. It looks way, way better than the naked one..

And what about the Epic question of a common Indian?
Kitna deti hai....? Mileage!

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

very nice wallpaper quality pics as usual. however ride report is not very detailed, even there is no detailed description about other features.

i have a question- is the half faired version coming to india..??

if it is priced at 1.0-1.15 lakhs, it may find some takers, but how is that possible, will it be made in india..??

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

@sunny. Simply limpid pictures. The red going to the pink was lovely. As usual, tidy review. Thanks for the heads up.

This is a very strange bike. To me, it looks like Suzuki screwed up really big-time here and gave this ultra vital design brief to some novice design team member. It looks just like what a pumped up, pimped out Libero would have thought of looking like in circa 2013.

Twins like the N250, upright seating like the KTM200, wide seat like the Karizma family, priced to undercut the H250... a smorgasbord of design cues from different bikes, aimed at achieving an overall competitive advantage but failing to strike even one clear, unpolluted note and instead, ending up in disharmony.

For me, the most discordant design cues was a lovely wide and long seat for those long cruises across the country, an effective fly screen but a short geared engine? A superstructure for the highway but an engine for traffic light GPs? I wonder if Suzuki did anything like an STP analysis before laying pen to paper for the initial renderings of this bike.

Ever since the N650 and the H650 landed here, I was waiting for Suzuki to set the cat among the pigeons by bringing in the V Strom 650. Ok, fine, the Indian market has less volume for even CBU middleweights, leave alone CKDs. So, the next best thing? "Honey I Shrunk The Bike" the V Strom 650 into a parallel twin 250 with the exact same set of clothes as its larger brother, provide the Adventure model option at minimal extra expense and then shout from the rooftops that they are giving us the designed-for-India-only (snob value) model of one of the most successful motorcycles of all time. At the same time, offer a naked street fighter with lowered clip-ons, snarly exhaust et al. The semi-faired F250 for the elder bro and his wife, the naked N250 for the younger one with his girl and gang. The competition would have simply been obliterated before the first round was fired.

Radical problems need radically innovative solutions. To think that this is the same company that makes the fastest street-legal bike in the world, a masterpiece which I am scared even to look at, it is so evil? Tch, tch...Suzy baby, you really lost your mojo here, old girl.

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

i think the pricing will actually be close to 1.5-1.6 otr, but that is just a freak guess, the engine will be more expensive to assemble here as its a parallel twin, hence the pricing may be close to the price point of the CBR250r.

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

Crowd won't notice? No buddy, they will notice. The GS150 is bigger in size compared to many of 150ccs and even some higher capacity bikes. In other reviews of Inazuma, many reviewers have mentioned that this bike looks bigger than it actually is, some people even confusing it for being 500cc. So it may look dull, but definitely will not be 'unnoticed' by atleast its size, if not looks.

Regarding price, I too think that 1.15L price puts it in the ZMR bracket, which it definitely doesn't belong. My guess is about 1.5L.

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

I've always assumed that Suzuki made the most reliable engines (I - is the key point). Considering that the GS150R was THEIR best looking bike, the next release didn't have any expectations. But, the color looks tacky, tail-lamp seems to have been borrowed from the Slingshot. The faired version looks like it is "Made in China".
Damn, even the decade old Karizma looks much better than this contraption. Yeah, but like someone said, looks apart, it does seem to have taken the best of all worlds from the current 200+cc bikes. They could've probably put in a Projector Headlamp, inspired from the P220.
I am already thinking, once this is out, the seat might just be it's USP. But why no petal disks?

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

dont forget its made in china....and manufacturing something in china can be cost effective than in India....according to me suzuki will price it around 1.25 lacs as its a twin cylinder bike but with sohc set up with no faring, no features like upside down shockers or fully digital console or trellis frame. all in all they can price it well....

Re: Suzuki Inazuma 250 Review : xBhp's First impression & ride report

Guys, lets not get confused with pricing here. Nobody knows the pricing. What sunny sir said in simple words that the bike isn't worth more than 1.15 lac.

Is it as sorted as R15? no.
Is it as good looking as P200NS for a naked bike? no.
Is it as youthful as duke? no.
Is it then at least pocket rocket performing like duke 200? no.
Is it where you see Kathrina Kaif in miniskirt in its commercial begging to sit on your lap if you buy this bike? no.
Is it...well you get my point. no?
