Motorcycle specifications SuzukiGW 250 INAZUMA 2015 A little lightning for the road

Naked

the Inazuma made its return in a surprising displacement. It was in the 250 range that the roadster returned to Suzuki. Around the year 2000, this name was used to adorn two models, the GSX 750 and the 1200, roadsters with a retro feel. Today, this genre has all but disappeared, and is only exemplified by the Yamaha XJR 1300 and Honda CB 1100. Does this Inazuma take up the spirit?
Absolutely not! It's a fresh, bubbly roadster with a strong B-King mini look. The monstrous son of the Hayabusa lends his features to a machine ready to conquer a new audience. With its muscular shoulders incorporating indicators, stylish headlamp, dual exhaust and trim pieces, this little roadster really looks the part. Times of crisis are hard on innovation, but push Japan to create motorcycles in the economic sense, forgetting to be sad. Because the GW 250 is far from insipid. It's better to look convincing in this hitherto unappreciated segment. Yam's YBR 250 has paid the price...

kawasaki has been in this segment for some time with its Ninja and KLX 250, and Honda has recently introduced its CBR 300. Does Suzuki's little roadster have what it takes to give them a run for their money? What does it offer in the way of an engine?
Well, a 248 cm3 block. It's an in-line twin-cylinder with liquid cooling, fuel injection and 6-speed gearbox, offering 26 hp at 8,500 rpm and around 2.5 mkg of torque. Although not a thunderbolt, this engine will be more than sufficient for city driving and will allow a few good jaunts through the region.

despite the "gigantic" rear mudguard, the rear end is nicely designed and the passenger handgrip looks serious. The chassis is simple but tried-and-tested, with a tubular steel cradle frame, conventional fork and swingarm, and one brake disc per wheel - nothing special, just functional. The GW 250 Inazuma's distinguishing feature is its silhouette. There are also a few aluminum parts and an attractive instrument cluster, which in addition to the standard info includes a fuel gauge, a gear indicator, 2 trip meters, a maintenance indicator, and a light informing the rider of his riding style: eco or not.
As Jeanne Mas would say, 'in red and black'... Here are the two colors in which the little Suz roadster will be available.

A very surprising bike, despite its small displacement, an endearing machine... too bad it lacks the horsepower for real long-distance touring, even if you quickly get used to the little monster's limitations...

hello.
i needed a sober and efficient motorcycle to get to work. My fuel consumption averaged 2.5 l/100 km over the 2,500 km I've covered since buying it
handling and roadholding are surprisingly good for its somewhat heavy weight. torque and braking are all there. the finish is meticulous. Given the selling price, there's no competition.

French Ramsesde Model 2014
I've been riding motorcycles since 1965, the last one being a Guzzi Calif 3 with 178,000 km under its belt. I've tried a number of bikes, but with this "petite" 250 Suzuki, I was surprised by the torque and sufficient power to get up to the right speeds on the freeway without any problems or vibrations. Comfortable and braking well, surprised by its engine brake, logical because this new engine is a long stroke, a technique long forgotten for supersquares that up to few alone can exceed 10000 rpm and long strokes max 6000 rpm, not the 250 Suzuki whose red zone is at 11000 rpm and whose rise is without hindrance from 3000 to 10000, gears go nickel and neutral the 1st time. all this for less than 3400 euros. This will be my next bike in September 2014. Rating : 5/5

A little bike (not that little) that's right at home on the beautiful French secondary network. Seen in this light, it's an almost ideal bike, with freeway forays almost at full throttle, which shouldn't put too much of a strain on the solid, modern bicyclinder engine. Rating : 4/5
French suzukiGW250 Model 2012
However, this minor inconvenience pales into insignificance beside all the advantages the Inazuma offers me, and it's extremely pleasant to ride. Having already done quite a bit of driving with it, it holds up perfectly on long journeys and main roads; for some, the option of an air bubble will be necessary, as the wind resistance, it's true, is considerable. Finally, all the electronics (especially the dashboard!) are fantastic, everything works properly, and the dashboard (I'm a stickler for detail, so the Inazuma's is just right for me) doesn't pile up the information at all, it's perfectly legible, and the different driving modes (normal, eco, etc.) are a good indication that can influence the engine's performance. ) are a good indication that can influence our driving ( fuel, petrol ... ). So, I hope this review can help some of you to decide whether or not to choose the Inazuma, which I fell in love with the second I saw it. I hope you enjoy the reading and that this review is complete enough.

Well, I've been able to get the bike in question for a little over a month now (January 20 to be precise). In view of all the criticism I've heard or read on the Internet, I'd like to reassure you on a number of points: firstly, it's true that the weight with the engine off can be frightening (which is the case for everyone reading the reviews), but this weight is simply imaginary when you're on the road, as you have the impression of riding a featherweight. All you have to do is let yourself be guided on the road by this bike, which is faultless in its handling, as is its roadholding in bad weather (living in Nice, and because of the terrible weather lately, with torrential rain and light snow, the bike didn't even flinch). Admittedly, the 1st gear is very short, in the sense that it really only gives you momentum and not power. This same power, however, I reassure you, is very much present afterwards, and the pleasure is assured on the straights. The bike was made, one might say, for bends, so pleasant are they to take, with the bike's lightness, all you have to do is let yourself be guided! A pure delight, as is its noise: I often compare it to an electric machine (you have to like it, not everyone will). I'm also pleasantly surprised, even though I already knew it, by its range, which I think is fantastic. One real hitch, though: the gears can stick when you're stationary (!!!) and you can spend a long time trying to get going again. T Rating : 5/5
French Jack
Motorcyclist since 1983, having owned many motorcycles since then (large and medium-displacement). Truly delighted by this featherweight (the effect it provides), which isn't the case, but the weight is completely forgotten and its 180kg feel like 120. The engine pulls well and is playful on the revs. Well-finished for the price, good roadholding, comfortable, it doesn't look \" big125 * I don't feel at all ridiculous on this machine. An excellent buy, economical and suitable for legal speeds. Nothing but the best! If I had to choose a small all-round bike again, I'd make the same choice without hesitation. Jack Rating : 5/5

So what's the verdict on Cbr250 after almost 2 months of use? Are you happy? Well, I didn't get a chance to try it out, as Concess doesn't intend to sell it, and didn't hide the fact. I did find it a bit heavy to lift from its side stand. Rating : 3/5

i've just tried it! one thing, it's superb.
it's very well finished, and sounds just like the gs500.
The weight isn't a handicap, it's very light, and I get the same driving feel as my cbr250r, or at least nothing that bothers me.
It has torque from low revs.
To be confirmed over time, but I'm entirely satisfied. I look forward to picking up my red Inazuma on 6 Nov.

Bonjour rene, j'ai vu la dite video puis j'ai vu une autre de nuit cette fois ci, qu'elle etait bien loin de la zone rouge, je pense que conducteur de la première video ne devait pas connaitre la 5eme et la 6eme vitesse ou qu'il y a un probleme sur la moto ;).
After that, I trust my suzuki dealer, it's the third becane I've bought from them, and he's not the kind of person who talks gibberish or lies.

I don't want to annoy the cbr250r, but there's a problem compared to the ninja, which I know well since I shared one with my son. How can the Gw have so much torque and so much power (2500rpm) earlier than the ninja (33hp at 11000rpm). What's more, I saw a vmax video of this bike, and it painfully climbs to 150 on the odometer, whereas when I was at 130 or even 140 with the ninja, I could still make a clean overtake on the freeway. Anyway, if it only made 26bhp, but better placed than the ninja, it would still be a plus in terms of comfort, especially in town. Rating : 4/5

Hi Cbr (I'm on a first-name basis with you?), yes I know about the offset piston (or rather the crankshaft, which is placed at the plumb of the piston), and a double shaft with a single cam and other details that reduce friction (interesting on a mono, which is necessarily more stressed than on a multi). If the 250's engine is as good as the 125's puncture-proof one (up to a certain mileage), it promises a long life indeed. To get the most out of it, I think it's best to stay at 130 max on the odometer when cruising (solo), and avoid long stretches of autobahn. A dual-purpose bike seems more appropriate for this purpose, and from 500cm3 upwards. The suz 500 gse (or gsf) has a very pleasant engine, for example, and a hell of a range (2nd generation), but you can only find it second-hand (and beware of pampering it, as the finish isn't great). I can't wait to see the gw and try it out. To be continued... Rating : 4/5
French cbr250r Model 2012
greetings rene,

you know that the mono of the cbr250r is of new generation with shifted piston. when i run at 130 i don't have the sensation to pull on the engine dangerously. i'm at 8000 rpm and the beginning of the red zone 10 000.
But I'm going to test it over the long term and I hope I'll be there to give you more details ^^

as for the purchase of the gw250, I'm a city-dweller, I don't have a car, so having two bikes is a choice to have my freedom at all times. In case of accident, theft or breakdown. After all, a 250 isn't too expensive in terms of insurance, fuel consumption and maintenance compared to a bigger bike.

Hello cbr (well, soon to be "gw250"), maybe it's also the concess who told you some nonsense. That said, it's better to have 26hp well distributed. The ninja (33hp) lacks torque, and therefore pleasure at the bottom of the rev counter. I don't suppose suz will make the same mistake, even if it means losing power at the top for the benefit of torque at the bottom. Your future suz will be better than your cbr for sustained (legal) speeds (with a fork head), as well as for duo (on the road). Rating : 4/5

There's no point in trying to launch a 250 at too high a price in France, it would be doomed to failure! Knowing that estimates in India are 100 to 150,000 RS (or 1400 to 2200 euros) :) Rating : 4/5

xj6 excluding promo 6000.
Inazuma 250 4200. a difference of almost 2,000euro is not insignificant... I don't think they're going to put it any higher, they have no interest in doing so.
speaking of 250 motorcycles, i wonder why kawa is keeping their ninja 250 at 5000 euro when they originally launched it at 4300 euro... are we going to see a price war between the cbr 250 ninja 250 and the inazuma?

Price is always an obstacle. It's due to the famous 125CC jump and beyond. If you can go from 130CC to 1300CC with an A license, why not take a 1300CC? This is what many people do, even though they're not capable of driving them or taking advantage of them. The manufacturer was quick to understand. Rating : 4/5
French pinayo Model 2012
for me, the 250 is an excellent segment, a motorcycle that's economical to buy and to insure (especially for new riders). even if its performance remains modest (around 30hp), it's more than enough, I think. the bike goes up to 150km/h and should be able to maintain a cruising speed of 130, what more could you ask for? personally, I think it's perfect. At the same time, it'll force kawa to lower the price of its ninja, which has been rising in recent years Rating : 5/5
French manu Model 2012
the problem is that they're selling their 250 with 25 hp for 500 euros less than a 600 with 75....4200 in estimate, which will certainly be 4600 in real life... an xj6 on sale is 5500 Rating : 3/5
