Suzuki Inazuma 250 pricing
There aren’t too many 250 cc motorcycles currently on sale in Europe. The Honda CBR250R and Kawasaki Ninja 250R spring to mind, but they’re both very much sports-orientated.
So the Inazuma 250, which Suzuki has just launched at the Motorcycle Live show in Birmingham, could open up a whole new niche when sales begin in just under a year’s time.
With naked styling inspired by the large-capacity B-King, it’s aimed at commuters or those looking for their first ‘proper’ bike. It’ll feature a novice-friendly liquid cooled, parallel-twin, 248 cc engine connected to a six-speed gearbox.
Given the target audience, power delivery is going to be biased towards the lower end of the rev range, and there’ll be a three-mode RPM indicator that prompts the rider to change gear to minimise fuel consumption.
Pricing for the Suzuki Inazuma 250 has yet to be confirmed.
