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 Himalayan

Pros

  • Versatile budget ADV motorcycle
  • Good Ride quality
  • Hardy motorcycle

Cons

  • Engine lacks power for seasoned riders
  • Could have been lighter
  • Brakes could have been better

Verdict

The Royal Enfield Himalayan definitely is a good bike, and the more time you spend time with it, the more you begin appreciating it. Sure, it has its weaknesses, and more power, less weight, better brakes et al, would have worked wonders to make it even better. But eventually, what matters is that it's a simple motorcycle that will charm you with its simplicity, whether you're the city commuter, relaxed highway cruiser, or trudging along broken trails.
