Recently Asked User Questions
- Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, etc. With its premium quality and fit and finish, the Suzuki Gixxer is an undoubtedly impressive motorcycle. Suzuki Gixxer SF is powered by a 155 cc engine. This Gixxer SF engine generates a power of 13.6 PS @ 8000 rpm and a torque of 13.8 Nm @ 6000 rpm. On the other hand, while the Gixxer SF 250 offers a sporty riding experience making it a great option for more mature riders. Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 is powered by a 249 cc engine. This Gixxer SF 250 engine generates a power of 26.5 PS @ 9300 rpm and a torque of 22.2 Nm @ 7300 rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
- If you compare 155cc bike with an 250cc bike then obviously in a drag race 250cc bike wins, but in 150cc segment this is the best bike till now ( my opinion ) because I too own R15 v3
- R15 V3 is a kid compared to SF 250. I remember beating all v3s till now on road n on highways. But sf 150 is a kid for v3 also in the same segment.
- R15 v3 is a kid compared to sf 250. I remember beating all v3s till now on road n on highways. But sf 155 is a kid for v3 also
- Better you should Buy the Apache RTR 180 because its Aerodynamics is much better in comparision to Other Bikes in its Class and also to its Younger Sibling Apache RTR 160 4V Fi.I own a TVS Apache RTR 180 2016 Model and till now it haven't shown us any Chain Sprocket or Engine Problems, instead only the Battery Sometimes Dies Fast and we have ridden almost all kind of Terrains and its Torque & Power is amazing compared to Other 180cc Bikes. TVS APACHE RTR 180 gives you an Aggression of Performance and one who owns The RTR 180 will too soon get to the Bike's Manuals and Riding. I want to say that Our TVS APACHE RTR 180 is the 2016 Model and still it doesn't have any time to Time (almost negligible issues) and our Bike even doesn't have ABS and then also it performs and Brakes and accelerates too well, in point the Bike becomes too responsive and Easy Daily commuter and if any Buys the RTR 180 now in 2020, the New RTR 180 will definitely gonna be more Awesome and Responsive 👍🇮🇳. But maintain the Time to time Bike Servicing and Other Maintenances; you'll obviously gonna take Care of your Beautiful Bike more than you but Ride Safe Guys. Lastly, but not the least, the APACHE RTR 160 4V Fi is also a Quite very Responsive and Good Commuter Bike it's your choice, what you wanna Buy but personally I would Recommend to Buy the TVS APACHE RTR 180 ABS cz I have experienced a lot with all the Models of the Apache RTR 180 till now and I wanna say that ofcourse both the TVS bikes questioned here are amazing Bikes🙏🇮🇳👍
- TVS has dealt with the Apache RTR 160 performance issue and has now made the bike near-perfect, well, except of course those raised eye-brow-like DRLs, which we think are a polarizing aspect of the design. Factor in the kind of equipment and features on offer, and it becomes a no-brainer if you’ve got performance on your mind. On the other hand, TVS Apache RTR 180 is a fun-to-ride motorcycle with quick handling dynamics and a range of safety features. The razor-sharp handling makes it a hoot to ride and it is a value-for-money vehicle. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
- If i says if tvs motor up grade 180 with 4v and 6 speed manual then don't wast time and go for it bkz i am a owner of 180 from last 10 years but i still clock 141 kmh speed on it, in short its far better then 200 4v or 1604v in speed but as we know only speed is nothing a bike with new upgrades is better in all aspects

Gixxer SF 250Awesome 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.

Gixxer SF 2504.6Blue 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.

Gixxer SF 2504.6Best 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.

Gixxer SF 2504.6Good 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.

Apache RTR 160power one needs in their life
My TVS Apache RTR 160 is a popular bike in India, It has a 159.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, BS6 engine which is very decent in this range . It provides around 40-45 kmpl, but real-world mileage may vary depending on riding style and conditions .

Apache RTR 160My Day-to-Day Champion
The TVS Apache RTR 160 has been my companion for several months now and it has proven to be a reliable workhorse. The bike’s 159 cc engine offers sufficient power for city commuting and the occasional joyride. What really stands out is the bike's mileage I get about 45 kmpl, which is incredibly economical for daily use.However, the bike's vibration levels at higher speeds are a concern. It tends to detract from the otherwise smooth handling and can cause a bit of a nuisance on longer trips. Also, I find the braking could be a bit sharper specially during rainy conditions.
