Suzuki GSX 250R
Iwanbanaran has posted revealing images of the
Suzuki GSX 250R, the name of the new quarter liter motorcycle
from Suzuki.
Several reports state that the motorcycle will have
its premiere at the EICMA 2016 in Milan, Italy, on November 10, though based on
these images, a revealing could possibly take place in Indonesia in the coming
days.
The Suzuki GSX 250R design is inspired
by larger, liter-class Suzuki models and features an aggressive and
butch-styled fairing, a large, haunched fuel tank, split seats, plenty of
aluminium/alloy parts and an exposed chain. Suzuki has clearly ditched the
‘Gixxer’ branding favouring the ‘GSX’ name, indicating that the manufacturer is
keen on positioning this motorcycle as a worthy rival to the Yamaha R25 and
Kawasaki Ninja 250.
Its expect that Suzuki GSX 250R
to borrow its engine from the Suzuki Inazuma, which was discontinued in India in
March 2015 owing to poor sales. On the Inazuma, Suzuki employed a 248 cc
liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine capable of 24 hp at 8,500 rpm and 22
Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, and paired to a 6-speed gearbox.
A market launch in Europe and other South East Asian
markets could take place this financial year.
