Its a naked Twin cylinder, Liquid cooled 248cc, twin exhaust bike from Suzuki. An excerpts from Autocar India, Suzuki Motorcycle India Ltd (SMIL) plans to launch its naked street bike, the GW250 (also called Inazuma 250), in January 2014. The company plans to bring the 248cc, twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-stroke motorcycle through the completely-knocked-down (CKD) route and will be assembled at SMIL’s Gurgaon plant. Meanwhile, the company is also gearing up to ready at least one new product for its scooter as well as its commuter bike portfolio. SMIL’s current scooter portfolio includes the Access 125 and Swish 125, while the company sells one commuter motorcycle in each 110cc (Hayate), 125cc (Slingshot) and 150cc (GS150R) categories.

We are equally focussing on the scooters and the motorcycles.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoRahi Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 CKD is the best option as it carries lesser duty than SKD or CBU. Pricing well is the key, especially with love it or loath it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_nishu Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Styling is love it or hate it, type ! But having a strong racing legacy, hot favorite Brand ambassador can make this machine gain popularity with relative ease than normally. Personally i like this bike for its Parallel twin engine as parallel twin engines are quite breeze to drive with delightful exhaust note. At expected price of Rs.3.13 lacs this bike is still cheaper than Ninja 250 & is better loaded than latter. However its rear styling is too plain-jane & is quite similar to Suzuki's smallest Hayate-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shashank_GTO Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I agree with you Dr.!! The styling is really love it or hate it types.. The front fender looks too toooo big!!!! Rear tyre looks skinny.. Mainly coz of the twin exhausts!! An FZ sized rear tire would've looked better!! Other than that the bike looks big!! I liked it!!! I hope it performs as good as it looks!! Will be eagerly waiting for a review!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_nishu Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Suzuki Inazuma price slashed by Rs.1 lakh, now priced at Rs.2.09 lacs(ex-showroom, Delhi) as against previous ex-showroom price of Rs.3.1 lacs only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sachins Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 1 lac price cut on a bike, I haven't seen/heard of such reduction in 2 wheeler segment ever. But I don't think it's going to make much of a difference in the sales of Inazuma. It looks a bit outdated by 250 cc standards and price is still high in comparison to competition.
