Suzuki Gsx-250r
The Suzuki Gsx-250r has a top speed of 155 km/h (estimated; note: manufacturer does not officially publish top speed), produces 24 hp and weighs 181 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.5/10.
De Suzuki GSX-250R werd in 2017 geïntroduceerd als een sportmotorfiets op instapniveau, gericht op nieuwe en beginnende rijders, ter vervanging van de GW250 Inazuma in belangrijke markten, waaronder Australië, Azië en Noord-Amerika. Het heeft een tweecilinder parallelmotor met een sportieve volledige kuip, geïnspireerd op de GSX-R superbike-lijn, waardoor hij visueel aantrekkelijk is en toch toegankelijk blijft. Het model was gepositioneerd om deel te nemen aan het A2-rijbewijs en het door studenten goedgekeurde segment, met een balans tussen brandstofefficiëntie, betrouwbaarheid en sportstyling.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Low Maintenance Costs
The GSX-250R uses a simple parallel-twin engine with long service intervals, making it one of the cheapest 250cc bikes to maintain. Valve checks are infrequent and parts are affordable and widely available.
Steep Depreciation Curve
Like most beginner bikes, the GSX-250R loses value quickly, which is actually great for buyers — used examples can be found at significant discounts from MSRP. This also means resale won't be strong if you plan to sell later.
Watch for Stator Issues
Some owners have reported charging system and stator failures, particularly on earlier models. Before buying used, check that the battery holds a charge and have the charging output tested.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"A solid starter bike you'll definitely outgrow, but not regret."
$3,500-$5,500 usedThe GSX-250R is essentially Suzuki's answer to the question nobody was really asking — a beginner-friendly parallel twin dressed up to look like its bigger GSX-R siblings. That's not entirely a bad thing. The 248cc motor is genuinely smooth, fuel consumption is excellent, and the riding position won't destroy you on longer commutes. It's honest, predictable, and hard to embarrass yourself on. Here's the reality though: this bike tops out around 85mph and runs out of enthusiasm well before that. On used examples, check the chain and sprockets carefully — budget owners treat these as disposables. Fork seals are another common weak point around the 15,000-mile mark. Avoid anything that's been dropped, because plastics are expensive and Suzuki parts availability is patchy. For a first or second bike, the GSX-250R makes genuine sense. It builds confidence without punishing mistakes, and depreciation has already hammered the price to reasonable levels. Just don't expect to grow with it — you'll want more within eighteen months.
