    But I can never explain what kind of thrill the muscle cars of 70s offered.
    Rugged and blunt looks and torque laden disasters,they were heavy,ugly but did their thing with absolute brutality.They are not Ferraris or Mclarens but basic rice mills which people used to stomp on pedals on roads and let the boldness do the rest scaring away the beauties.(a car called Red Victor can outrun jet-powered dragsters,Red Victor is a souped up family car btw !!!!)

    Suzuki Inazuma is one such thing when it comes to bikes,it looks ugly but so does Bking(which can blow most crotch rockets out of wind,by just being a naked) and ZZR1400 of Kawasaki(which will blow anything on two wheels but most people fear and hates those six eyed look or cannot plate it for some reason unknown).
    Even Yamaha's Vmax(old and new) looks such but is a hot favorite when it comes to absolute raw performance.

    The torque of this SOHC Inline twin is 24Nm higher than any 250cc in market.Just what I need for safe and comfortable hill climbs in poorly engineered inclinations of Indian hilly roads and maintain the poise where there is something remotely called a road.

    It is fast,sounds meaty and the top speed has not been tested.Looks are very subjective and every bike do not have to look the same and get stereotyped.
    This Suzuki would play its parts when it comes to high speed stability,refinement and tackling tricky situations presented by Indian roads.
    Just like Fiero and just like Shogun........they were never about looks.

    Suzuki bikes are highly reliable and are usually the toughest that bikes can get to be........what ails them in India,is the lack of suitable dealerships all over the country and in the big metropolis.

    I do not have a dealership in my own city.........which is very ridiculous,if they launch this product-whom would they sell this to ? Villagers ? for ploughing their fields ?

    This bike is going to be a success along with other Suzuki products if Suzuki knows what to do with their marketing and dealerships.

    Inazuma 250 has been internationally launched and it is going to come to India...........without regards to popular opinion.

    The name is good too......people do not make fun of the name Hayabusa(also Japanese) just because the joke would be on themselves,if they do such.

    Suzuki products generally do their own talking.

    I 100% agree with you, enough of the Sports catagory bikes lets get something morre practical.

      If I were in India, this bike will replace the Comet.

        Hmm, but the Comet is going to make a comeback too as GT250Fi from Hyosung.....

        Next year,2012, there would be many options for a good and value for money 250cc bike.

          Looks nice & meaty to me too. Can anyone imagine this with semi fairing? Like baby band-it. I will be all for Semi-faired Inazuma.

          It often takes a humiliating overtake to understand that an early jump off the red light won't help them lead the pact. All I want to say is - Go after green.

            Looks like a good bike for everyday use and touring around country.

              Completely agree. I had thought of the same about Ducati's latest bike named "Panigale" also. People didn't make fun of this name also although it's a little weird for me. To me, it looks like:

              Paani Peeley + Khana Khaaley = Panigale

              Sorry for the bad joke :-\

                    I don't have any problem with the looks of this one, except for the front wheel guard. Not that anything is wrong with it or anything it's just that one remind me of new CBZ extreme!

                    New CBZ extreme! Aaah, the visual horror!
                    When in doubt...... Gas it!

                        I agree with the statement... mass indan buyers go with the looks of the bike... we never realise that power matters alot.... e.g one of my friend was looking for super bike with a budget of 7-9 lakh.... I suggested him DUCATI monster... I was surprised when he compare the looks with Yamaha FZ

                          All that depends on how informed the buyer is. If someone is willing to to shell out lakhs of rupees without doing some research, he is bound to conclude his decisions this way.
                          In today's world, quotes don't matter. Quotas do!
