Hopefully Suzuki showcases this at the AutoExpo to gauge customer responses for a possible launch. The mini B King looks pretty good and would stand out in a sea of CBRs & Ninjas & Karizmas & R15s & P220s. Pricing would obviously dictate its fate in India though.

Front looks could have been made better looking ...anyways bike looks quite comfortable to ride

Gone are the days where only practicality wins. Most of the bikers today want style first and then practicality. The people who will go for a combination of both will always outnumber the other kind. If you place the CBR250 , KTM 200 and the Ninja 250 R with the new Suzuki 250 (even if you exclude the N250 based on its cost), most will not choose the Suzuki at all.
I am at absolute loss why couldnt Suzuki make something on the lines the GSXR 600, but a little comfier. It would really help the sales too since the Suzuki 250 which has come out is based on a product (the BKing) which has been essentially a failure worldwide (though it is an amazing bike!).Join xBhp On

That look will put off prospective buyers... We Indians want mini supersports... This thing can join the MOJO bandwagon

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."HASTA LA VICTORIA, SIEMPRE !" - Chesigpic

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.Comment

i laughed so hard at this oneOriginally posted by Motofreak View PostThat look will put off prospective buyers... We Indians want mini supersports... This thing can join the MOJO bandwagon
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

That was as un-diplomatic as it can get!
Exactly. The strange headlight design, funny single seat, seating position, longish type wheelbase, etc. isn't helping matters for this bike.Originally posted by Motofreak View PostThat look will put off prospective buyers...

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!You are not a chemical. So think before you react.

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!!
Ride safe..wear helmet.
