Those who are disappointed with the 250 should definitely look at Dominar or KTMs for better package. I have a P220 and I'm super excited to ride the Gixxer 250. It is a simple bike with easy maintenance(hopefully) and longevity. It is not a sportsbike so comparison with V3 is absolutely pointless. Compare this with CBR, RS or Fazer 250. There is no bike at this price point that offers this good specs with least complicated technicals. It is a Suzuki so longevity comes with them. No need for tension of coolant or complicated engine work when needed. Radiator fins bending and overheating and all those painful stuff would be gone. It comes with dual channel ABS, has FI and from the looks of it, decent headlight and seating.
I'd trade my P220 for the Gixxer 250 for the price and offering.

Yeah, but imo, pulsar 220 makes more sense than gixxer 150 , if mileage is not considered. Pulsar 220 is a non complicated sports tourer [emoji4]

Gixxer 250 is the next lateral upgrade with smoother gearbox, shinier headlight and the best part of dual channel ABS.
And I am 100% sure Suzuki quality would be a couple levels up than Bajaj.

any idea is it BS6 or BS4. I been to the show room they said its a BS6 engine but considering as BS4

Its already BS6 compliant but its being registered as BS4 for this year and then next year when BS6 becomes mandatory, the bike will be registered as BS6.

Its a nice little scam that Suzuki is running and no one at the Launch Event bothered to ask about this.

One journalist asked about the emissions norms to one of the Japanese guy present on the stage and he told that it's Bs4 currently and will be updated to BS 6 when needed!

Hey bro, even i seen the journalist ask the question, the Japanese guys i said its BS4. But the showrooms has a different story

You dint get the point. The engine is ALREADY BS6 compliant thats why the power got reduced from 14.8ps to 14.1ps, in which case why is it still being registered as BS4?

That would be to avail additional tax benefits and avoid expenditure to show that it is BS6.
Plus when they will introduce it as BS6, they can ask customers to pay more.

Yes you’re are right bro, Suzuki had already exported gixxer to Japan with updated emission norms with only 14 PS of power, so I believe they were BS VI ready long back!!!

Snippet of Suzuki Japan website, Gixxer Spec :

This would be the very last lot of older gixxer with carb and 14.8 ps ,reliable old-school mechanic bike to get....else it would be with newer electronic sensor bike with unkown surprises , So I am still bet on the older gixxer than the new stiffed 2019 version !

So my theory goes like this : most releiable versions of bike from Manufactures :

Always the First Yamaha - RX100 ......and in 4 stroke --- FZ ( Initial Lot)
Honda : 2005 Unicorn (gem of an engine)
Suzuki --- Shogun (1994) .....Fiero (2000) still bread winner for TVS ( coz all the rtr's built on this great base engine) ----the GREAT GIXXER (2015)

so the 2014-2018 lot of gixxer will be ever remembered for all the suzuki Enthusiast , as this was the king of segment agaisnt all the 150-160cc of 2,3,4 valves & 2,3 row oil cooler and fancy raw ripped stealth,real throttle racing fancies & 2,3 spark plug whatever ......still the simplistic gixxey is beautiful piece of engine around.
