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 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650

Pros

  • The 2023 updates include new alloy wheels, tubeless Vredestein tyres, and a premium LED headlight, all enhancing both practicality and aesthetics.
  • The 650 cc parallel-twin engine delivers smooth and torque-rich performance, making it ideal for laid-back riding with ample power on tap.
  • New colour schemes like Slipstream Blue and Apex Grey, along with blacked-out parts, add a modern, aggressive appeal to the classic design

Cons

  • The seat is not the most comfortable for long rides, and an upgrade to the touring seat may be necessary for extended use.
  • Heat management remains an issue, especially in stop-and-go traffic, with the engine generating noticeable heat on the left leg.
  • The twin-pod instrument console lacks modern features like a gear position indicator and real-time efficiency data, which could enhance the riding experience

Verdict

The 2023 Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 retains its old-school charm while incorporating modern updates that improve both performance and aesthetics. The addition of tubeless tyres and the LED headlight make it a more practical and premium offering. Despite a few shortcomings like seat comfort and limited tech features, the GT 650 remains a top choice for riders seeking a stylish, torque-rich, and affordable modern classic.
