Suzuki GSX250R (USA)
Suzuki has confirmed that
deliveries of the Suzuki GSX250R in the American market will begin in April
2017.
The GSX250R boasts
of a more usable low and mid-range torque than the GW250 (Inazuma). The engine
is the same 248 cc parallel twin, liquid cooled, SOHC unit. The output has not
been revealed for the US version, but expect it to be the same 25 PS of maximum
power at 8,000 rpm and 23.4 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm as the Chinese
model.
The Suzuki GSX250R claims to have a fuel efficiency
of 76 mpg (32 km/l) which for the 15 litre fuel tank translates to a range of
more than 280 miles (450 km). With dual LED position lamps, the bike gets a
halogen headlamp. The tail section and LED taillamp resemble the GSX-R1000R. A
low seat height of 790 mm will further add to the versatility of the bike,
making it easier for shorter riders.
The suspension setup has been sourced from KYB and
includes a right side down telescopic forks in the front and a mono shock in
the rear. Ground clearance is a handsome 160 mm. Anchors are 2 piston callipers
from Nissin over a single petal disc in the front and a single piston calliper
(from the same brand) in the rear.
Suzuki will be offering the bike in the US with two
paint options, Pearl Glacier White and Pearl Nebular Black. Pricing will be
revealed closer to launch.
