Pros Cons of Suzuki Gixxer SF 250

Pros

  • Comfortable riding position
  • Refined and tractable engine
  • Excellent ride quality

Cons

  • Basic instrument cluster
  • Premium pricing
  • Does not thrill with performance

Verdict

In India, it will go up against the likes of the Honda CBR250R, Yamaha Fazer25 and the KTC RC200 and at a price of ₹ 1.71 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), we believe the Gixxer SF 250 to be a solid purchase in its segment. It looks good, has decent performance and handles quite well too. It sporty enough to be ridden around switchbacks and can handle daily commuting too with equal aplomb. It may have entered a little late to the 250 cc - 400 cc segment but it is definitely a well-rounded package.

Pros Cons KTM 250 Duke

Pros

  • Updated 249 cc engine with 30.57 bhp and 25 Nm of torque, providing a smooth and engaging ride
  • Significant weight reduction of 8 kg, improving agility and handling
  • Advanced features like a 5-inch LCD screen, Bluetooth connectivity, ride-by-wire, and quick-shifter

Cons

  • Vibrations noticeable between 4500 to 5500 rpm, particularly during highway cruising
  • Stiff ride quality despite increased suspension travel, which may be uncomfortable on rough roads
  • Pillion seat could benefit from better padding for longer rides

Verdict

The KTM 250 Duke gets design inspired by the KTM 1290 Super Duke. The motorcycle also gets a dual-channel supermoto ABS mode. The 250 Duke continues to be powered by a BS6 compliant 248.8 cc single-cylinder engine which makes 30.50 bhp of power at 9250 rpm and 25 Nm of peak torque at 7250 rpm. In terms of rivals, it goes up against the Suzuki Gixxer 250 and its sibling, the Husqvarna 250 Twins. It is one of best options in the 250 cc naked sport motorcycles.
