36 SUZUKI GIXXER 250 SF
Article by Daniel PienaarPics by Chris Kuun37SPORTSLIKECITYRACERWe were recently given the long awaited SuzukiGixxer 250 SF, and while there hasn’t beenany hype on South African shores, this bike wasplaced in the top five products you can buy inthe 250cc -500cc segment in India.What’s even more impressive is that India aloneregistered 1526 of these motorcycles in May of 2019.Now when it comes to the looks of this Gixxer250 SF, Suzuki like all the manufacturers have triedto make their small capacity motorcycle look likeone of their bigger models. Suzuki in this case hastaken this one step further, adding clip on bars,having a split seat, electronic dash, and LED headlight. This small capacity motorcycle does not onlylook like Alex Rins Suzuki GSX – RR MotoGP bike,but does incorporates some of its technology in theform of its cooling system.This 250cc air-cooled single cylinder motorcyclehas no fins on the engine, which is very unusualfor an air-cooled motor. However with that beingsaid and having ridden the bike through town andon a race track this bike didn’t give off any of theheat you would feel on a fire breathing 1000ccwater cooled motor, even when stopped at a stopstreet or robot. For more information click on thelink provided so you can better understand how thecooling system works.When it came to riding the bike, I was thoroughlyimpressed. This quarter liter commuter claimsto have 26hp and 22nm torque. Now the type ofperson that buys this kind of motorcycle isn’t goingto go race it around Kyalami, but rather for a dailycommute to work or school and back and the occasionalbreakfast run on a Sunday. The bike makesenough power to ride comfortably on the highwaysand is a breeze to ride through traffic. What is evenmore spectacular is the fuel efficiency of this motorcycle,getting an impressive 37,5 kilometers perliter in town and 40 kilometers per liter on the openroad, and with a fuel capacity of 12 liters I am prettycertain that most riders will run out of staminabefore this motorcycle runs out of fuel.Now for anyone who is looking to save a few
