      @@ravijr4275 The gixxer 250 naked has a slightly better riding position due to flat handle bars. For a single rider, touring can be done easily on a gixxer 250 as the engine is really stress free. However, if you have a pillion, they will tend to slide towards the rider from time to time due to split seat.

      Congrats on the choice. Make sure you capture the moments, during the delivery. Also ensure that you receive the warranty booklet, users manual that contains the free service slips and 2 keys along with the bike. I received grips and seat covers as a complimentary addition. As far as other accessories go , it all depends on your requirements but a tank grip would be immensely helpful. I would also suggest to not rev over the 5000RPM mark till 800 Km’s as this helps preserve the engine better in the longer run.
      Kudos on the purchase again and All the Best to you!

      @@SHIFTANDSURGE In april 2021, nearly 200 Gixxer 250s were recalled by Suzuki for excessive vibration issue and it seemed like issues with engine mounting and balancer shaft. I don't know whether this problem has been taken care in the subsequent batches and don't know whether current batch 250s have those issues. I just want to ask you, what's your take on vibrations? You told there are vibes at 4500-5000 rpm. May I know at which gear you feel vibes at that rpm and is there any other rpm point where you feel vibrations ? And do you feel any vibrations between 100-130 km/hr at 6th gear?

      @@dineshr1531 Yes, 199 Motorcycles made between August 12 2019 and March 21 2021 were recalled owing to excessive vibration. Suzuki however had personally contacted owners of faulty motorcycles and fixed this issue free of cost. This issue however was not mentioned in later motorcycles, so you need not have any doubts in this regard if the matorcycle was manufactured after that. Other motorcycles that were made in the same period this issue persisted can easily be identified by taking a test ride and riding the motorcycle over 5000 RPM. I assure you the vibrations in a faulty motorcycle will be very noticeable.
      The vibrations I mentioned here are almost non noticeable and you wouldn’t have any issues. The motorcycle can cruise rather comfortably on 130 km/h given that the road is right.

    How would you rate the pillion comfort for about 300km rides? Usual traversals are in highways and occasional hill rides, and mostly only 50-100 kms. I ride with my partner and we're both slim. Initial comfort during the test ride was good but just wanted to know about long distance. Thanks in advance for your time!

    • @SHIFTANDSURGE
      @SHIFTANDSURGE  Месяц назад

      Pillion comfort is decent for shorter runs. However over longer runs say over 50 km’s, the pillion expressed slight discomfort when traversing through city traffic. The primary concern of the pillion was that the seat was hard and slippery. For highway rides the seat comfort should be fine with 10 - 15 min breaks every 75 - 100 km’s.

    I am torn between the SF 250 100th anniversary that is available new as a 2021 manufactured showroom display vehicle, or a 2022 manufactured Gixxer naked 250. Needs are comfortable touring - use in city will be almost nil. Am 5'11 and not slim at 87kilos. What would you recommend if comfort to do 600kms per day touring is key?

    • @SHIFTANDSURGE
      @SHIFTANDSURGE  2 года назад

      The raised handlebars that leads to a more upright riding posture on the Gixxer 250 are more comfortable than the ones on the SF 250. This factor will definitely help in case of long distance touring. The V Strom 250 might also be a good option to consider. Make sure to take a test ride.

    • @anantinspired
      @anantinspired 2 года назад

      Thanks for a quick reply that surely makes sense. However my test ride of all 3 250cc uses of this engine made me feel this about each - Vstrom, felt oddly disjoint in posture of legs vs torso making saddling a strain to stand, and the suspension too felt stiff.
      The naked handlebar pushed my arms back while the seat and leg posture pushed me forward,, causing a push of crotch against tank. Finally, the SF felt most cohesive... The posture felt connected and the angle felt in one direction. Iv made a choice to go for this one then. Apart from getting used to posture will i have other concerns? Rattling fairing? Spares or servicing concerns?
