[B]........ True to its meaning, the design of Inazuma spells electrifying style and substance. The Inazuma’s punchy 250cc engine gives an enjoyable ride in all surroundings and provides a spontaneous feel of fun and excitement from its gutsy low-end and mid-range power output. Its engineering package complements the naked chassis appeal of the bike. With its innovative designs around the cylinder heads, dual chromed exhausts and a distinctively shaped headlight, the Inazuma is a machine aimed at giving bikers more than what they expect.......

is this a sarcastic comment.. he he..

The pricing is off mark, but I don't think we can compare a naked D390 manufactured by Bajaj to one which is a twin and coming as a CKD. As a matter of fact I feel we cannot compare any bikes pricing to Dukes pricing here in India because the KTM angle of making India a production house for exports skews it largely in its favor and enables it to sell KTM bikes domestically at much reduced prices which are not realistic for others.That said I think its the looks which killed this bike more than its pricing. The pricing is high but it looks to be an excellent tourer and if the pricing was little reasonable it would have found some serious buyers.

it does not matter whether a product is a CKD or made in india, what matters is- how much it costs and what it offers. period.-----3.1 lakhs ex-showroom means on-road its 3.4 lakhs approx. maybe, after an year, the company will distribute the bike in free to clear dead stock... he he ...

The bike looks too plain for for that price. Owners would expect some road presence which it simply doesn't have

it lacks power too we can buy 2 bikes in 3.4 lac(duke 390/cbr250/re continental gt + cbr150/d200/r15/re) or put 50k more and get ninja 300 all these machines looks better than this one...

Re: Suzuki Inazuma Launched at 3.1 Lakhs: xBhp News

Very disappointing. Uninspired styling with an uninspired price. Those two reasons means it's as good a DOA no matter how good the engineering may be.

eh lol you couldn't stay away from xBhp for longer than a few days. Stick around man !

lolol he combined both Glamour and Gladiator.. Hero Gladiator
Anuj did you mean to say this bike.. very old design.. personally I always felt this motorcycle was designed by an alien. Ugliest ! Yamaha Libero
[ATTACH=CONFIG]132748[/ATTACH]

I'd say, this is uglier than the Libero, the first Yamaha Fazer in India.

Re: Suzuki Inazuma Launched at 3.1 Lakhs: xBhp News

Suzuki just shot themselves in the foot with a 12 gauge. I am starting to think if they will sell even a single one of these things considering how most of us Indians will have the fear of being ridiculed for losing an extra lakh by buying this instead of the Duke390. Also the GS150R itself is quite a rare bike despite its good performance. What were they smoking?

Bro, When you get more power/features etc in less price rather than paying more price for less power, etc then I don't think TWIN Vs Single comes into picture.
Suzuki can as well produce Inazuma here as well cutting down the prices.
Pricing factor will automatically call the comparison, because inazuma is not an exceptional performer over existing CBR250.

Re: Suzuki Inazuma Launched at 3.1 Lakhs: xBhp News

I personally didn't like this bike, why would someone spend this much of money on this, adding to some 70-80K one can get N300 as a master piece in its class....

Preferences my dear friend.. some people prefer naked bikes over the Sports faired bikes.. There are people who prefer the Harley over the ZX14R, Busa, R1, CBRs etc.. and vice versa.. I for one will go for the Full faired N300, where as a friend I know will prefer the Naked Inazuma over the full faired N300..

some people who want a good relaxed naked twin cylinder bike might go for it..

Preference, yes. But resale value, a big NO. I remember, I and my friend had to spend days on OLX, rejecting negotiation deals, haranguing brokers and ultimately incurred a big loss while selling his six-month-old GS150R. In comparison, my Gladiator was sold within two days of putting it up for sale.

If a VFM bike like the GS150 has to suffer this fate, I can only imagine the ordeals that GW250 owners would have to face, if ever they had to sell their bikes. In comparison, a CBR250, a Ninja or even a ZMR would definitely fetch better value and demand.

I think your friend should wait for naked ninja 250 or 300, may be its next in the line as kawasaki is on roll....

Resale wise cbr250 is better whereas ZMR and duke are poor. In fact ZMR is a rare hero bike with poor resale value.

Bringing Z 250 will prompt the Suzuki india top guys to sit together and look each others face without uttering a word for 5 hours.
They will doing it already.

**AmoghDox** · 01-21-2014, 04:03 PM

Re: Suzuki Inazuma Launched at 3.1 Lakhs: xBhp News

Obviously a big NO for this naked Inzuma, how come they've tagged this bike as a practical bike?
not quiet aware of resale value Ninja 250, CBR 250 and ZMR , but certainly these bikes serves their respective purpose in every sense!

**rapperswil** · 01-21-2014, 05:53 PM

Re: Suzuki Inazuma Launched at 3.1 Lakhs: xBhp News

I think Suzuki launched this bike at this price so it could be used as a double for upcoming Dhoom movies. I am not able to come up with a better answer.
