2019 Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 Launched; Priced At Rs. 1.71 Lakh

The 2019 Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 ABS has been launched in India at a price of Rs. 1.71 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). This is the second time Suzuki has returned to the quarter-litre space in India, after the very capable but expensive Suzuki Inazuma, which came with a parallel-twin engine. The Inazuma, despite being a solid product with a very smooth and refined engine, failed to achieve any commercial success. Suzuki did offer the Inazuma with a price correction, but it couldn't make any headway and had to be pulled off the market. The new Gixxer SF 250 will be the second shot from Suzuki at the 250 cc space, and this time around the pricing is more in tune with the current crop of 250 cc bikes available in the market, and the Gixxer 250 comes well-specced to take on the competition too.

The new Gixxer SF 250 is powered by a 249 cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled, fuel-injected engine which puts out 26 bhp of maximum power at 9000 rpm and 22.6 Nm of peak torque at 7500 rpm. The SOHC motor is paired to a 6-speed gearbox. The new Gixxer 250 has a sharply-designed fairing with the engine casing exposed, and gets a LED headlight, clip-on handlebars, split seats and multi-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels shod with fat rubber. The instrument panel is a full LCD unit with a dual-exit exhaust system. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks up front and a monoshock at the rear, with standard dual-channel ABS.

The 2019 Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 takes on a bunch of sporty motorcycles in the 200-250 cc segment, going head to head with the Honda CBR250R, the Yamaha Fazer 25, Bajaj Pulsar RS200, as well as the KTM RC200. The Pulsar RS 200 is still the most competitively priced, but the Gixxer offers a unique proposition in the price to performance ratio in that segment. We will be riding the new Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 soon at the Buddh International Circuit, so look out for our first impressions of this new 250 cc motorcycle.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
