Suzuki Gw250 Inazuma
The Suzuki Gw250 Inazuma has a top speed of 145 km/h (estimated), produces 26 hp and weighs 202 kg. Motoryk rates it 6/10.
La Suzuki GW250 Inazuma a été introduite en 2012 en tant que moto d'entrée de gamme destinée au monde entier, initialement produite en Chine par le biais d'une coentreprise Suzuki, puis vendue sur les marchés d'Asie, d'Europe et au-delà. Il a été conçu pour offrir une expérience de conduite à deux cylindres parallèles fluide et adaptée aux débutants à un prix abordable, faisant revivre la plaque signalétique « Inazuma » utilisée précédemment sur les modèles quatre cylindres en ligne 250 cm3 de Suzuki des années 1990. La GW250 s'est distinguée par l'introduction d'un moteur bicylindre raffiné dans le segment économique des 250 cm3, ce qui l'a rendue populaire auprès des nouveaux conducteurs et des navetteurs à la recherche d'une moto à la fois pratique et agréable.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Reliable, Low-Maintenance Engine
The GW250's parallel-twin engine is known for strong long-term reliability with minimal issues when serviced regularly. It can comfortably exceed 30,000 km with basic maintenance like oil changes and valve clearance checks.
Watch for Charging Issues
A known weakness is the stator and regulator/rectifier, which can fail on higher-mileage bikes, leaving the battery unable to charge. Always test the charging system before buying a used example.
Strong Resale Value
The Inazuma holds its value well in the beginner-bike segment due to its fuel efficiency (around 25–30 km/L) and classic styling that appeals to new riders. It's easy to sell and rarely sits on the market long.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"A competent starter bike that outgrows riders embarrassingly fast."
$1,800-$3,200 usedThe GW250 Inazuma is one of those bikes that does exactly what it promises and absolutely nothing more. It's Suzuki's entry-level twin-cylinder commuter, and if you're buying one used, you're probably looking at a learner bike or a tight-budget city runabout. Fair enough — the parallel twin is genuinely smooth for the displacement, fuel economy is excellent, and parts availability isn't terrible. Here's the honest truth though: this bike will bore experienced riders within a fortnight. The power delivery is gutless above 70mph, the brakes feel like suggestions rather than commands, and the suspension is tuned for someone weighing about 140 pounds. Used examples also tend to have been thrashed by nervous beginners, so inspect the crash bungs, footpegs, and levers carefully before handing over cash. That said, if you're a new rider wanting something bulletproof to practice on without crying over drop damage, there's genuine value here. Pay no more than $2,500 for a clean example. Any more and you're into better territory.
