    Online sources have different power/torque figures for this twin-potter, sadly Suzuki-India website doesn't list it too.

    What does owner's manual say about power/torque figures?

    Strangely the specification mentioned in manual is also quite about power & torque fig. I cross checked the manual twice from first - last page.

    Is it intentional that they want to hide official power & torque figure of this bike, as mentioned by yes websites also doesn't mentioned it.

    Although the Inazuma is acclaimed for its touring abilities, it proves it is no slouch. Watch this video. I've also posted in the 'bike reviews' thread of Inazuma.

    Yes, bike accelerate much better than my previous R15, though I am driving it under 5500 till date but pull is strong no way near R15.

    Noticed one thing in video, driver release the clutch at red line only to start with that is right way draging the bike for any 0-xx kmph count down. i dont know how many people do that for any drag race. keeping the bike max. power band for quick/fastest possible start.

        I think it's unanimously agreed by many websites as 24 PS & 22 Nm. Give or take 1 here or there.

        Most drags are done so. You rev the engine to its max powerband & pop the clutch to launch. Some just rev it enough to keep it in the max torque band, though.

          I thought it was 26 HP & 24 Nm; anyway it's interesting and boring at the same time.

            Ha, ha. Yes, all clinically sound bikes (CBR 250R & Zuma) are such. In fact, Ninja is the exception (with more kando) in starter bikes. Speaking of kando, can we forget the R25? Powerdrift reviewer Sagar seems to be quite impressed.

              Congratulations on your new bike. It is a wonderful motorcycle indeed. A real solidly built product from Suzuki.
              No doubt its a well made motorcycle but in a country where youth is obsessed with sport bike look like the R15 and the CBR and the Niiiiinnnnnjjjjjaaaa...I am afraid Inazuma won't get the preferred attentions from bikers. Its my thought though.

              If Suzuki could use the same engine on a mini GSX-R, it would sell like hot cake.

                My first choice was inazuma. Because of budget I dropped and went for 200ns. Waiting. at least my next will be yamaha or suzuki.

                  Yes, can understand & empathize. There are quite a few options coming in the next few years. BTW, NS is a very good buy for that price. Personally, what I don't like, is the resonance at around 4k revs. And that's what we ride in, in the city.

                  For those that own it now, do keep us posted.

                    Yes may be you are right, I was thinking the same thing that this bike will not attract any attention and i will be just blend in traffic.

                    But too my surprise! Inazuma is noticed & noticed very well, after every now & then every second pedestrian is gawking at her, frequently bikers drive with me to get good view of the bike & ask very various questions like price , BHP, name etc.

                    Even car owners (both young & mature drivers) are inquiring about Inazuma on red lights VERY frequently, at my locality Inazuma had became famous with in week.

                    OMG, i was thinking that this commuter bike will not grab attention at all but it grabbing attention from even car owners(Toyota, Honda, Maruti) also let alone the Bikers as i am sure to find bikers who follow me for giving Inazuma good looks.

                    I am totally surprised and not prepared for this attentions all of sudden.

                    Can anyone explain how this Ugly looking bike ( from every online reviews) getting all attentions it should not deserve Is Inazuma facing bias from reviewers.

                    Mind it there is not much branding of Inazuma on bike itself also at least mention engine CC.

                    What i conclude is if Suzuki does reasonable marketing of this premium commuter with some more price reduction, this will sure be a success, bike is comfortable & ride quality is best in class.
                    Drive FAST but not Rough, Drive SAFE But not Slow.

                      Hmm, read something some time back, this is how it goes: RR & Bentley don't advertise or market their products. People still flock to buy those. I guess Suzuki thinks that people who really know what this bike is, wouldn't really need to be pulled to the showroom. Well, what it doesn't understand is, this is India & certain dynamics are different here.

                      That said, we don't see ads for imported bikes that often, or not at all. Do we?

                        First of all, due to lack of advertisement and publicity, this bike an unknown surprize for people who see it on road.
                        Next is, size of the bike. Its bigger for a 250cc commuter styled bike. especially the rear look with dual chrome exhaust with 140mm tyre which makes similar 500cc class bike appearance.
                        Finally,as I said in my previous post, this bike looks a way better in flesh than in picture due to its build quality, fit and finish.

                            Busy in official work for last week therefore cant comment till next 2 days also.

                            However red color also looks cool. Inazuma stickers really stands out red color, in black color it is hardly visible,

                            completed 750Km will be doing first service next week. Congratulation on future/potential buy. keeps posted and lets crosscheck if bike is giving same feeling of comfort & stability to you also after driving.
                            Drive FAST but not Rough, Drive SAFE But not Slow.

Months of silently scavenging their threads and I learn that nobody rides above 80kmph for extended periods because of the vibes or some other reason. I get the feeling that a lot of purchases are driven by spec wars - its true for me as well but atleast when someone asks for an opinion I try to explain the ground facts more than the spec sheet.
                                I agree with you. but spec sheet plays a good role to any buyer(experienced/beginner) to sort out which category the bike sits in and do a basic comparison.then ride quality and comfort comes in. Proper test rides from multiple dealers will be the best way to know a bike because test ride bikes may not be well maintained with many dealers. It will give you an idea how bike behaves at high speeds, NVH, brakes, cornering etc. and always select for bike with comfy seat,posture and refined engine if looking for touring. then own it..
