Suzuki Inazuma 250
The Suzuki Inazuma 250 has a top speed of 145 km/h, produces 24 hp and weighs 181 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.5/10.
Der Suzuki Inazuma 250 (GW250) wurde 2012 als sparsamer, anfängerfreundlicher Parallel-Twin-Pendler eingeführt, der hauptsächlich auf asiatische und europäische Märkte ausgerichtet war. Damit wurde das Inazuma-Typenschild wiederbelebt, das zuletzt Ende der 1990er Jahre verwendet wurde. Es war in dieser Zeit vor allem eines der ersten modernen 250-cm3-Parallel-Twin-Straßenräder von Suzuki. Es bot eine reibungslose Kraftentfaltung und ein klassisches Design, das neue Fahrer ansprach. Das Modell wurde schließlich erfolgreich und entwickelte sich zum Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 und einer verwandten Modellreihe, als Suzuki seine Strategie mit kleinem Hubraum änderte.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Bulletproof Parallel Twin
The 248cc parallel-twin engine is known for exceptional reliability, often running well past 30,000 miles with basic maintenance. It shares DNA with Suzuki's proven GS series, giving it a strong mechanical track record.
Watch the Carburetor
Older GW250 models use carburetors prone to gumming up if the bike sits unused for extended periods. Always ask sellers about storage history and inspect for smooth idle and clean fuel delivery before buying.
Holds Value Steadily
The Inazuma 250 retains resale value better than many entry-level bikes due to its reputation for durability and low running costs. Its appeal to new riders keeps used demand consistently strong.

Originaler 250-cm3-Parallelmotor mit Vergaser im Retro-Stil, auf den japanischen Inlandsmarkt ausgerichtet.
"Revvy Little Twin, der geduldige, engagierte Fahrer belohnt."
Ich habe einen GJ73A zwei Jahre lang als täglicher Pendler und gelegentlicher Wochenendkratzer gefahren, und was einem im Gedächtnis bleibt, ist, wie hart man ihn arbeiten muss — unter 8.000 U/min ist es höflich bis zur Dumpfheit, aber wenn man es hinter 9.000 macht, wacht der Parallelzwilling mit einem wirklich süchtig machenden Kreischen auf. Das DOHC-Setup ist eine ehrliche Technik für seine Zeit; nichts Exotisches, aber straff und glatt, so dass es sich anfühlt, um lange zu halten, anstatt einen Showroom zu beeindrucken. Die Vergasersynchronisierung muss alle 8—10.000 Kilometer überprüft werden, sonst läuft der Leerlauf durcheinander und das Tanken gerät in den mittleren Bereich, was die einzige Wartungsarbeit ist, die dich erwischen wird. Mit 169 kg nass ist er kein Leichtgewicht für einen 250er, aber der niedrige Sitz und die neutrale Geometrie sorgen dafür, dass der Stadtverkehr wirklich mühelos wird, wenn du einmal aufhörst, gegen seine Spitzenzeiten anzukämpfen.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"A honest, unfussy commuter that punches exactly at its weight."
$2,500-$4,500 usedThe Inazuma 250 is one of those bikes that gets unfairly dismissed because it lacks the street cred of a Ninja or CBR. Here's the truth: it's a genuinely pleasant commuter with a smooth parallel-twin that pulls cleanly from low revs and doesn't punish you for lazy gear changes. The retro-ish styling has aged reasonably well, and build quality is typically Suzuki solid — these things don't fall apart. That said, manage your expectations hard. Top-end performance is genuinely underwhelming even by 250 standards, and the suspension is marshmallow-soft for anyone over 170 pounds. On used examples, check the rear shock carefully — it's the first thing to go vague. Also inspect the fuel injection system; some owners neglected basic maintenance and throttle response suffers for it. Parts availability isn't great outside major cities. For a new rider wanting an unfussy, comfortable city bike that won't embarrass itself on weekend runs, it makes real sense. Just don't buy one thinking you'll grow into it — you'll outgrow it fast.
