Suzuki India teases the new Gixxer - could be the Suzuki GSX 250R?
Suzuki motorcycles have asked us at OVERDRIVE to block our dates for May 20, 2019. The press release doesn't reveal much other than a teaser of the upcoming motorcycle. We say motorcycle (and not a scooter) because we at OVERDRIVE believe the teased motorcycle could be the Suzuki GSX 250R (Gixxer 250).
It was about time the Indian market saw Suzuki's contender rival the Yamaha FZ-25, KTM Duke 250 and the Honda CBR 250R. The GSX 250R is a fully faired motorcycle which could be placed as a sports tourer in the Indian market. The bike offers a sporty yet relaxed rider's position.
Internationally, the Suzuki GSX 250R is powered by a 248cc liquid-cooled, parallel twin engine that produces 25PS and 23.5Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The motorcycle gets a conventional telescopic fork setup in the front and a mono shock absorber at the rear. The motorcycle is equipped with disc brakes on both the ends and will have ABS as standard.
The motorcycle is expected to be priced around Rs 1.7 lakh mark - ex-showroom Pan-India.
