Our take on this /// Verdict
The Suzuki Inazuma GW250F is a solid, if not spectacular, addition to the Indian motorcycle market. What stands out is its build quality every component feels high-grade, and the switchgear is among the best Ive seen on any bike in India. The riding position is comfortable, with everything intuitively placed, making it feel natural even for a rider of average height. However, the bikes weight and low power output make it less than ideal for aggressive riding or steep inclines. It excels in commuter roles, offering a smooth and confident ride at legal speeds, with a sharp gearbox and light clutch. While it may not be a motorway blaster due to its lack of fairing and high revving at higher speeds, it is reliable and well-suited for urban riding.
Price
When the Suzuki Inazuma GW250F was launched in India, its ex-showroom price was around 3.5 lakhs. However, the on-road price, including taxes, registration, and other costs, would have been closer to 4 lakhs. Its important to note that prices can vary by region and may have changed since its initial launch. As of my last update, the bike is no longer in production, so any current pricing would be for used models. For a used Inazuma GW250F, you can expect to pay between 2 to 3 lakhs, depending on the condition, mileage, and location.
