            seems that CBR250 is best all rounder for city as well as highway rides...

                Monk, that's for the non-faired version. The faired one is 20kgs heavier at 213 kg! I wonder...what makes it heavier than a Thunderbird!

                Agree with you...the original 'tallboy' Santro was an eyesore when it was launched. Today we ignore the Santro's looks as easily as we ignore trees on pavements. And frankly, this still looks much better then naked GW250 with the alien headlamps.

                Biking is not about how many Km/h you put on your Speedo. It's about how many miles you put on your Odo. Ride Safe, Ride Long!

                  213 Kg for a 250CC bike and less than 25 BHP Suzuki must be joking. Hope they find a way to reduce the weight before putting it into production

                    Are we kids that we need a mass opinion to decide what is beautiful and ugly? This is uglier than the completely naked version. Is this what Suzuki plans against CBR, Ninja and KTM? It is dead already. Irrespective of the market, the looks of a vehicle decide its fate to a large extent. There's a difference between acceptable looks and ugly, this is the latter. And obviously it doesn't carry any threatening spec sheet either. Moreover, GW might be having a comfortable stance but CBR, KTM and Ninja aren't terribly uncomfortable either. This looks outdated before launch. It's a nightmare.

                        213-183 = 30 kg and not 20 kg!

                        You really think that a plastic fairing is going to be 30 kg?

                        The original link says that the weight will increase by a few pounds. 1 pound = 453 grams. The expected weight increase is 3 kg and not 30 kg!

                        The link that you had earlier given which claims 213 kg is a forum in chinese. Neither do I understand Chinese nor will I willing to believe information from such an unsubstantiated source.

                        A lil bit of common sense says that a fairing couldn't possible be 30 kg! The P 220S and P 220F had a weight difference of 4 kg if I remember correctly!

                            Those Ugly looks remind of me 3 things
                            1.) Old Swift Drzire's rear end
                            2.) Aliens from Aliens movie
                            3.) Going to grab a burger to think what could be uglier.........

                                Front end looks really cool, from the half side view. But personally I don't think it'd have quite the followers as other manufacturers here. But if pricing is right, who knows, even CHUZHUKHI can also get it right. Fingers crossed for them.

                                Cheers!

                                Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                                The girl said, 'NO!'


                                And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.
