Suzuki Inazuma GW250 India Launch in January 2014: xBhp News
I didn't say Pulsars and Apaches were ugly
The point I was trying to put across was that it would blend in easily and would attract significantly less attention than it's faired companions. As for the twin exhausts - I am sure this would attract more attention
Err, a ZMA with a ZMR rear cowl and 2 exhausts?
How do people get such parrot-ish ideas?
Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.
Because everyone who passes, isn't a martyr!

With a really good looking arse and a punchy 250CC enigne, it shouldn't lead the clan in our country, but hope it gets the customers it deserves. Plus personally the headlamp is a big let down, they could have used a round single projector setup. But...
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.

Hope Suzuki gives this as an add on accessory. (semi faired option for tourers)

This is a touring spec bike. Call it a versatile one, but only the so called "drenched in the pond" would really ask for a windshield. But let's see how this babe fares when she rolls out. I am having a mixed bag thoughts, but I think I can hold it up till the bike launches -- oppicially.
Cheers!

Given a choice, I'd actually prefer the GW250S (semi faired) over the naked. The plastic bits may be cheesy, but it completes the package by making the 250S a proper quarter-tourer.

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!
Re: Suzuki Inazuma GW250 India Launch in January 2014: xBhp News
I think that this bike would be reasonably priced as its made in China. Though this is a Chinese bike, its of superior quality as the quality control is handled by Suzuki.
Re: Suzuki Inazuma GW250 India Launch in January 2014: xBhp News
Twin exhaust is the awesome thing in this bike. But it also reminds me of my friends yamaha libero. Anyway I feel, this will be a great bike from a great company.
Enjoy every minute of life. Don't waste it. sigpic

Some bikes are not for everyone.
There are many who still likr old school bikes with minimal work. And also don't want unwanted attention. This bike is for such people.
It may not break any sales record, but I think people will buy it.

I for one would love to have this in my garage. But pricing matters. But again. I will wait till the end of 2014 for more options. Then keep myself confused.

OT:
What does it have to do with the wallet size/strength bud? The owner of the bike in question would have spent more than the cost of a genuine stock bike. So he had deep pockets. Or am I missing something here?

I personally know the owner of that ZMR/ZMA. He lives in one of the shanties not very far our house in Bhubaneswar, a tier-2 city. A typical street-smart guy who got involved in every brawl in the shanties and who lived off some railway contracts. Bought this bike purely for posing and his evenings were spent in showing off the bike across the the paan-shops in my locality. I was really shocked to see his bike on sale at OLX - never expected him to be literate enough to post ads on OLX!
EDIT: Ok, we are way off the track now!!!!!

Not everyone living in shanties is poor. Yes, owning a house is costly, but then at least 30% of India's IT engineers come from shanties/slums. Mumbai/DL/CHN have many examples.
My question was "how is parrot-ish taste related to pockets"? Money can never buy taste.
But since that quote was directed at me, I had to ask.

The mod market in bbsr is pretty big thanks to "suhani" I guess.
A lot of people are criticizing the head lamp. I agree with them. Suzuki wanted to create a mni b-king but messed it. It looks rather plasticy and tasteless.
A plain round lamp with a projector and twin pod meters would have looked great on the bike.

Ok, I missed that part.
But yes, talking of taste, I guess it's some street-smart/casino-party theme which eludes the understanding of people who prefer refined elegance. Probably it's all a fallout of the Fast'n'Furious culture - Garish colors, over-illuminated cars, undercarriage neons, loud stereos - they all got popularized after F&F and 2F2F franchisees.
Coming back to Suzie, doesn't it look stunning when seen from the rear 3/4th?
