Gixxer SF 250 launch details

When Suzuki rolled out the Gixxer 250 BS6 and Gixxer SF 250 BS6, we were quite pleased because unlike the smaller Gixxers, these 250s were only around Rs 3,500 more expensive than their BS4 predecessors. Unfortunately, the Japanese manufacturer has now once again hiked prices within just 2 months of the BS6 launch.

Model	Old Price	New Price	Increase
Suzuki Gixxer 250	Rs 1,63,400	Rs 1,65,441	Rs 2,041
Suzuki Gixxer SF 250	Rs 1,74,000	Rs 1,76,140	Rs 2,140
Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 MotoGP Edition	Rs 1,74,900	Rs 1,76,941	Rs 2,041

On the upside, the price hikes aren’t anything major: just a tad over Rs 2,000. On the downside, you’re not getting anything extra for that additional 2 grand. The bikes themselves are completely unchanged, meaning that they’re powered by the same single-cylinder 249cc oil-cooled motor churning out 26.5PS at 9300rpm and 22.2Nm at 7300rpm.

The SF version is a fully-faired sports tourer while the regular Gixxer 250 is a naked streetfighter, but they both share the same basic underpinnings. They’re held together by a single-downtube frame and suspension is taken care of by a conventional telescopic fork and preload-adjustable monoshock. Stopping power comes from disc brakes at both ends and dual-channel ABS is standard.

Also read: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC: First Ride Review While every other bike manufacturer seems to be coming up with its own vision of what a neo-retro scrambler should look like, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC has stuck to its guns by staying as close to the original British scramblers of yore as possible.

Modern bits come in the form of Triumph’s second-gen colour TFT screen. I...

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike. For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX. It is likely to feature a traditional front fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends with ABS as standard. For an added retro appeal, expect it to use spoke wheels with tubed ...
