I'm 68; been licensed for Fifty Years. I've owned Bikes from a 175, up to a 750 during my lifetime. Currently without a ride. I work part-time, and am looking at this as a commuter for the 11 Miles to work from my home. I plan to look at one today.

Great commuter bike. 80mpg. Reliable as a hammer. Runs on regular gas, not premium like the others.

This looks like a mini GSXR600. They really did well with the styling. As for power and the rest it's an entry level. First bike shouldn't be about power it should be about skilling up.

Yes, I just bought mine last month and everything you said is spot on! Nice, cool bike and great on gas. ❤

honestly 70 to 75 mph is fast enough if not let them go around. at least for me 75 mph is fast enough. God forbid you drop a bike at 70 to 75 mph its going to hurt bad if not kill you. so i think it would do great. i owned a ninja 300 it was ok on the highway faster yes but not as stable as i believe the gsx 250 will be because of its weight and i believe it even looks like a full size bike compared to the othets 300cc bikes that look 3/4 size let me know if i am wrong. always looking to further my knowledge. im considering the gsx 250r.

Sweet little 250.

thanks for this review

I only have one REAL complaint about my 2018 GSX250R. I HATE the feel of the front brake! The stopping Power IS there, but you have to be HERCULES on the Brake Lever to GET it! Are there any fixes for this?????

ninja 300 faster yes but on the highway i found ninja 300 a little unstable. i believe the heavier 250 to be more stable.

250cc in South East Asia is considered slightly bigger bike although it is still small. Maybe bcos we have too much scooter

rear brake is abs but the front sides not abs why?

i havw bwen ridding many yrs and back in the day my dad owned a 1975 honda cb 500 top speed was 90 mph so a 250 that is fine. i thinl people expect Alot good bike

Its maximum speed is 140 km/hr is that right ?

How many maximum rpm in RSX250R engine ?

not bad bike,

how is lunch in India lam waiting

I’m just looking for a good bike to ride to school :/

"it does not sound like a small bike" *does a flyby* me: bruh.... even my m 2007 ninja 250 is louder than that 😂😂

I understand she's a trainer but does she have to ride so slow? Nice bike though.

I live in Canada. Some highway are 100kmh. Most people drive 120kmh and I can barely keep up. That's only 74.5 MPH in states. Think twice before buying people. Ninja 300 although not as pretty to some people is faster with a 300cc

Too bad they are not manufactured in USA/UK ;-)

better just say the bike cure cancer.... lol

Shame it's not a 300 or just over and not faired. It could challenge the Yamaha MT-03 then. In other words, I wish it was something else. Silly me! I suppose I'm a Suzuki man.

180 kg and inazuma engine on :(

This is a beginner bike but certainly not "the ideal beginners bike". It weighs in just a hair under 400lbs...for a 250cc? That's 125lbs more than a Honda CBR125R. A Ninja 300 or a Yamaha R3 would be more ideal!

in amarican 250cc too small they need 300cc

IMO it's a great bike compared to "small biikes" of maybe 5 or 8 years ago.. but in this world of R3s, Ninja 300s and KTM390s this is too heavy and too underpowered. Sorry Suzuki.. it's too little, too late.

shame not a 300 or 400

This bike was insanely heavy feeling. I sat on it in the showroom and it is a real porker. A ninja 250r is much lighter and used they are a better deal. Suzuki missed by a mile on this bike
