Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Should I buy Royal Enfield Classic Desert Strom or Gixxer SF 250?
  • Depends on how and where you commute.Suzuki Gixxer 250: If you are a person who likes to commute on a sporty looking bike with enough power to push you through tight traffic roads to soothing stretched highways you can choose this one as it does the job very well.RE Classic: If you are person who takes long rides and/or Sunday joy rides this is the motorcycle for you. It is a comfortable cruiser with the capability to go long roads at a stretch with style and exclusivity
  • If u r a easy rider then u should buy RE . if u want to ride crazyly and light vehicle in traffic . then u should go for Suzuki 250. Bcoz RE 500 is not for bumper to bumper traffic u can drive it for open road .
  • I would prefer to buy desert storm, if I were you cuz that bike really leaves an impression.

Q. Which is better classic 350 or classic 500 in performance?
  • M having stealth black 500 and its such a special feeling to own the RE which cannot be expressed in words but when it comes to 350 or 500 it is totally on your usage as the first thing is mileage which does not differ much as i m getting around 30+ and in 350 it is around 35 but when it comes to driving for sure you feel d diff the 500 variant is much more plesant in driving. so in my opinion just go for 500 but if you are luking price wise u can choose 350 bcz in looks both are same if you are not choosing the 500 only colour variant
  • Difference will be on the inflow of the fuel . 350 is with carburetor and 500 is with fuel injection. 500 got more pickup but lack in fuel efficiency as compare to the counterpart.i' ve rode my classic 350 for almost 5 years, most of the times in the himalayan region.i found no issue regarding the capacity of the engine.on my personal level i would have picked himalayan for classic 500. decision is yours brother. thanks and keep thumping
  • Having owned the Classic 500 I can tell you that it is not worth the extra money. The performance upgrade is not noticeable. I would suggest you gofor the Classic 350 . But the one thing I noticed is the exclusivity of the Classic 500. As far as I know there are only around 10 in my city out of the 1000s of bullets and that really is something special, so if you are looking for exclusivity then go for the 500.

  • Pulsar ns 200 is definitely superior over others in daily commute.I own a Gixxer 250 it's very difficult in city
  • Add 30k to your budget and go for New Dominar..400. You will love it in city and highway drive too
  • Gixxer 250 sf is not at all difficult i city, i own one. maybe,little bit, but not too much

    I have been using this bike 

    I have been using this bike from 4 years, Initially it was felt smooth riding and now the ride has become rough.I feel a lot of scope to refine the royal enfield engines.Sometimes the power is not sufficient to enjoy the ride in little exciting mode, Believe royal enffiled should work on improving power.

    bringing space to you 

    Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 is an amazingly planned two-wheeler model, which has made to my bucket list ever since its launch. Amazing part is that it has a 5 star rating in safety and security terms. It is so convenient in terms of weight and size which is beautifully planned to designed from the exterior to the interior, inside out. This two wheeler falls under the price range of budget on an average basis. I highly recommend this to anyone who is as crazy about decent bikes as I am and planning on buying one for them.

    SF Sportiness, Gixxer Precision. 

    Everyride on my Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 is an adventure. It has a dégagé face and is exactly discharged in quarter- liters. This sportbike is around More distant than exclusively probing. It all comes down to executing it with the perfection and hint of sportiness that discern the Gixxer SF series. The Gixxer SF 250's sportbike brilliance is putative on everyride because of its High-tech appearance and important interpretation. It's not Clearly a bike.

    Awesome Bike 

    I recently bought a Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 and I'm impressed with it. This is the most underrated bike. It's a great bike for the price, and it offers a great combination of performance, style, and affordability. The engine is smooth and refined, and it offers good performance throughout the rev range. The bike can reach a top speed of over 140 km/h, but it's also easy to ride at slower speeds. The handling is also excellent, and the bike corners well. The ride quality is good, but it can be a bit stiff on rough roads. The Gixxer SF 250 is also a fuel-efficient bike. I've been getting around 38 km/l in real-world conditions, which is great for both city and highway riding. The bike comes with a variety of features, including a fully digital instrument cluster, an LED headlight, and a split seat. It also has a dual-channel ABS. Overall, I'm very happy with the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250. It's a great bike for anyone looking for a sporty and affordable motorcycle. It offers good performance, Handling, Ride quality, and fuel efficiency. It's also packed with features. It looks great. The design is sporty and aggressive, and the black color is very sleek. It's comfortable to ride, even for long distances. It's easy to maintain. It's reliable. I haven't had any problems with it so far. If you're looking for a sporty and affordable motorcycle, I highly recommend the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250. It's a great bike for both beginners and experienced riders.

    Blue colour 

    Well i am the 1st buyer of sf 250 motogp in my state.There is no better bike than sf 250 in the quarter litre sportbike segment.This bike is solely responsible for uprooting honda cbr from the indian market.As i have owned a cbr 250 also, I can easily say sf 250 is much better.The engine is smoother n more refined, Looks much better than cbr n ktm rcs which look too bad after the bs6 update.Only r15 v3 is close to the looks but v3 is ridiculously expensive as a 150 cc bike.Coming to the performance, It is gonna be 2 yrs now from the date of purchase n this bike never had any major or minor breakdown apart from the battery issue in lockdown.It can be easily used for your daily city rides.With a ground clearance of 165 mm, It absorbs the bumps smoothly.N on a track or even on highway, you can touch 150 easily on the speedometer.I have even gone to the beach side of my state riding it for 4 hrs.N have not felt any pain.With the stock tyres of mrf revz, It is the best bike as rcs also come with the same stock tyre now after the bs6 update n r15 v3 n even ninja 300 have mrf zappers as stock tyres which will last for hardly 2 yrs.The only bike better than it is rr 310 which has become a dreambike after the bs6 update but the only reason i didnt buy it was the unavailability of the blue colour.Finally, I must conclude that my biggest satisfaction came when my mom could sit on the sf 250 comfortably that she could never do on the cbr for 6 yrs.

    Best Performance 

    As a proud owner of this bike with 25,000 km experience, it excels in the 250 segment. Powerful engine, 35-38 kmpl in the city, 40+ kmpl on the highway at 70-85 km/hr. Vibrations beyond 100 km/hr. Fun and easy to handle, stable, quality build. Paint on the fuel tank is scratch-prone. Good front braking, average rear. Service costs 1500-1700 rupees. Headlight is good but not the best on the highway. Comfortable for short rides, but wrist discomfort on long rides. Pillion comfort up to 5 feet 7 inches.

    Good tourer 

    Quite an all-rounder, but hard-core off-road won't be so good. Really good tourer. Maintenance is very affordable as compared to other 250 cc bikes. Vibrations are there, but not soo bothering ones. I'm happy with its performance because, in the low end, it feels like Yamaha Fz post-4000 to 5000 rpm everything changes. It has a strong linear-pull. Handling is very good, the suspension is set to medium, so it's not too firm or too soft which makes the handling so much better. The front brake is really good, but the rear lacks a lot of bites, but if we use both front and rear breaks together. The bike comes to a stop very fast. I'm owning this bike for 1 year and 3 months. The build quality is very good. The fit and finish of the switches are really good. It's quite an underrated bike.
