This is the most detailed review , l ever seen for Gixxer sf 250.. Awesome work bro keep doing more ❤️
Sure! Thanks for watching. I’m glad you liked it!
I also own this machine for past few months all the points you've mentioned is agreeable to the most ..good work👏🏻 ... Overall this is an awesome machine ❤️
Thank you! Yeah, it’s a great motorcycle.
@@SHIFTANDSURGE should i spend 55k more than pulser f250 .... for Gixxer sf250
I tested both .... Pulser new 250 cc engine surprisingly smooth ...
I want sports tourer bike ....
Is Honda will launch CBR250R ? .... I am waiting for it from long time ...
I feel Gixxer not smooth as Honda .... After 7000 rpm little bit vibration comes
@@nikhilsuryawanshi6301 there are no plans for the Honda CBR250 for now.
Bro.. i need a help
Subscribed instantly.
Very precise video packed with crisp informations.
Suggestion: Increase the quality of the footage used in the video (maybe with some colour grading). Everything else is perfect. 💯
Thank you! Sure will do.
This is such an onspot and best reviews i have come across. Very professionally put through.
Thank you! I sure am glad you liked it.
I sold my gixxer 250 naked to buy dominar 400. Conditions changed and I bought xpulse 200 4v. The xpulse is more comfortable and ground clearance is a life saver. Except that, I miss my gixxer 250 everyday. Every day. All the time.
How is the seat comfort of gixxer,for long ride,especially for tail bone,xpulse is superuncomfortable.
@@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.
Most detailed review and everything on point 💯
Thank you. Watching from Philippines 🙏🏽✌🏽❤️
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Great review bro... It's help alot .
Bcoz I'm going to buy Sf250 very soon , and i think i had very good Disition..
Your review is a real review with a awesome narration, you have the capability to go viral with your talent of narration and video graphy ! god bless you! Also tomorrow I am buying this bike in morning, matt black, need some suggestion like what accessories I will be getting with the bike, what things I need to take care in the agency before to get it ready to go , also what other accessories I need to buy which I am not getting with the bike
Thank you! This means a lot.
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 Thanks a lot dude! noted :)
A very good review. You have talked every bit about the machine and you haven't overlooked anything. Appreciations.
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it.
@@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.
@@SHIFTANDSURGE Thanks a lot for your insights. Your inputs do help me a lot. I'm planning to take a brand new sf 250 anytime soon.
@@dineshr1531you got it ?
This is really quality and brilliant review than others. Thanks brother
Thank you!
After knowing the vstrom 250sx share the same engine with a huge price difference . I decided to go for 450 Himalayan
Great concise and coherent review. I am looking to replace my H'ness CB350 with a Gixxer 250 since my riding is mostly within the city and the CB350 feels lethargic. Am I making the right choice? I dont want to feel I downgraded because of Gixxer's smaller engine.
Thank you. I haven’t ridden the CB350 yet and so can’t comment on the matter. The SF 250 however is a good blend between sportiness and comfort, the riding position is something you have to feel comfortable with as how comfortable you feel varies for different people. Do take a comprehensive test ride before taking a decision. Thanks for watching !
Thanks for the english review
Amazing review... delivery and presentation top notch.. ❤
Thank you!
Beautiful bike forever Suzuki gixxer sf 250,i have booking for sf 250 anniversary edition OBD 2 , delivered to next week, i am waitinggggggggg 🔥🔥🔥🔥

clean,neat just the way a review must be without any blabbering of any nuisuance
Thank you!
My dream bike....❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi brother, great review, would like to know one thing though. At what rpm does the vibrations kick in and how much it has improved after you switched to synthetic oil?
Thank you! There are a bit of vibrations near the 5000 RPM mark and then at the higher rev ranges at around 10,000 RPM. After the synthetic oil switch it has been bettered but is still slightly present. However, If you wear riding gear it’s almost not prevalent.
@@SHIFTANDSURGE cool, thanks for the info
Are the pillion footrest hangers removable or a part of the frame?
I really like this 100th moto gp color but it's limited , so thinking about fz 25
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!
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.
Hi, thanks for the review. How is the bike fitting for tall persons above 6'1" ? Does it affect the riding comfort ?
Not really, it should be comfortable for taller riders too. It however depends on the body style so I suggest you take a test ride and find out if it’s comfortable for you.
Best detailed review boss
Thank you! Stay tuned for more..
Great review 🏁
Thanks for watching!
Hello everyone,
I am planning to buy sf250 but i heard that after sales the service is not good in terms of availability of spare parts of sf250. As this bike sale are lower parts availability is less like this reason showroom employees will give after you buy.
So is this true???
Any news for new 2023 sf250 face-lift edition??
can you make a review about the bike now
or could specify issues you found so far
I'm planning to buy this bike in a month
I have been maintaining the bike periodically as per Suzuki’s recommendation and have ridden the bike for about 8500 kms. The only minor issue I have faced is the rusting on the saree guard and on the rear view mirror’s bolts. I haven’t faced any issues other than this.
Bro are you face any vibration issue after 6000 km. Some owner complain that they face some blancer problem and hitting issue after 6000 to 7000 km rideing. What about your experience? .
I haven’t faced this issue and I have ridden the motorcycle close to 10,000 kms now.
Review nalla iruku da... 👍❤️
Is this bike suitable for a beginner? Also is it comfortable for a rider 6ft tall?
As long as one is careful, It is suitable for a beginner - power is delivered linearly . For a rider 6 ft tall the bike should be comfortable, however it’s better to take a test ride.
How can I get the anniversary edition (blue and silver moto gp) one? Most showrooms have tje matte black and triton blue.
It was a limited time special edition. So it depends on dealerships if they have one.
Tank is of fiber or metal? For use of magnetic bag.
plastic
Good review...
Which bike I should prefer r15 v4m or Gixxer sf 250cc....plz give me advise
It all depends on your requirements. R15 V4 has a more committed riding position and has a higher rev limit. It's perfect for when on the track too. The Gixxer SF 250 has a more relaxed riding position and is more of a sports tourer. Take a test ride and figure out what works for you.
Bro in local areas we don't go high speed it means 6th gear change option is very rare case to go fast . So in that situation is their any affect to engine. If 6th gear we not change ?
It has no issues.
Considering the same design elements for gixxer sf 155 , which one would you choose , is it sf 250 or sf 155
The SF 250 owing to the extra power on offer.
The SF 250 owing to the extra power on offer.
We are planning to buy this one ...but we don't know present how many Variants that means how many colours it comes .Can we please update here ?
There are 2 colours on offer - Matte black and Triton blue. The motorcycle showcased here is a special edition. There are no different variants on offer but accessories can be added. Do check the website for complete details.
Can I put gixxer 250 naked Handlebars to SF??
Not sure about that but I have installed handlebar risers and they seem to work well for me.
Brother R15V4 or Sf 250 mai confused huu konsa lena accha rehega....zada fun to ride konsa bike hai..i need fun to ride bike
It all depends on your requirements. R15 V4 has a more committed riding position and has a higher rev limit. It’s perfect for when on the track too. The Gixxer SF 250 has a more relaxed riding position and is more of a sports tourer. Take a test ride and figure out what works for you.
Nice one man...
Is there a way to make the exhaust sound loud
Yes it’s possible with a custom exhaust.
bro, can u tell how u adjusted the mirrors so that it doesn't protrude out too much
Tight the screws at a position where the mirrors don’t protrude much.
Some reported battery draining issue , is this true ?
I haven’t faced this issue till date.
Where is the latch to hold the helmet securely ? Can you tell me exactly where ???
It’s a small latch you can get to once you open up the rear seat. The helmet is locked in place once you lock the rear seats back in. If a clearer explanation is required, do let me know and I’ll make a short video on that.
Can you do a wheelie with this bike
Is this color option still available?
I don’t think so.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
How is the bike now bro ? Any issues faced sofar ?
It’s great. No issues faced so far.
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?
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.
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?
@@anantinspired I’ve had no issues till date. Just make sure the staff at the service centre are supportive. You shouldn’t have any other issues.
6'3 tall guy can ride this bro please share your opinion?
That will depend on the size of your hands.I think you wouldn’t have a problem with this but it’s best to check it out in person.
I recently purchased this bike, but while I touring , my hand ✋ plam getting pain, how can I fix it? Any suggestions?
Congrats! To avoid wrist pain, make sure you don’t shift your weight to your hands, tighten your legs around the tank. Keep your elbows slightly bent and sit comfortably. Try using riding gloves in case you aren’t using any. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
U can install Gixxer 250 naked's handle T clamp and handlebar to get rid of wrist and other related problems. I've done it and it feels so comfortable that ull forget all your pains.😃👻
@@msi9209 how much it's cost you ?
@@waheedpasha1805 around 3k
Sir, What is the height of the person riding the bike in the video?
5’10
Crash guard can be added on the fairing or not
It can be added separately in third party workshops.
Good one
Which color variants color lasts longer
Matte black is comparatively more difficult to maintain in its pristine condition.
Y still they give this with non LED blinkers & no Bluetooth connectivity turn by turn navs & a little bigger screen even after 2020 😡 for a bike @ this price
Yeah, they might add it in the next update whenever that comes out.
rs 200 or sf250 ??
Slipper clutch hota or liquid cooled to thk rhta
That's only one think I don't like ....
Slipper clutch...
Suzuki cost 2.3 lakh still not provide... 😔
Mileage it's giving you??
Depends on how I ride. It gives around 30 km/l as I’m not easy on the throttle.
