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.
La Suzuki Inazuma 250 (GW250) a été lancée en 2012 en tant que véhicule à deux roues parallèles économe en carburant et adapté aux débutants, destiné principalement aux marchés asiatique et européen, relançant la plaque signalétique Inazuma utilisée pour la dernière fois à la fin des années 1990. C'était notamment l'une des premières motos de route modernes à bicylindre parallèle de 250 cm3 de Suzuki à cette époque, offrant une puissance fluide et un style classique qui séduisait les nouveaux pilotes. Le modèle a finalement été remplacé et a évolué pour devenir la Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 et la gamme associée à mesure que Suzuki modifiait sa stratégie de petite cylindrée.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
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.

"Un petit jumeau plein de vie qui récompense les cyclistes patients et engagés."
J'ai piloté un GJ73A pendant deux ans pour me déplacer tous les jours et pour me gratter de temps en temps le week-end, et ce qui vous tient à cœur, c'est la difficulté à laquelle vous devez travailler. En dessous de 8 000 tr/min, c'est poli au point de devenir ennuyeux, mais dépasser les 9 000 et le jumeau parallèle se réveille avec un véritable cri addictif. La configuration du DOHC est une ingénierie honnête pour son époque ; rien d'exotique, mais épurée et souple, d'une manière qui semble conçue pour durer plutôt que pour impressionner une salle d'exposition. La synchronisation des glucides nécessite une attention tous les 8 à 10 000 kilomètres, sinon le ralenti devient irrégulier et le ravitaillement devient difficile à milieu de gamme, ce qui est la seule corvée d'entretien qui vous surprendra. Avec 169 kg sur sol mouillé, ce n'est pas un poids plume pour une 250, mais la banquette basse et la géométrie neutre facilitent la circulation urbaine une fois que vous arrêtez de lutter contre les pointes.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"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.
