Perhaps its local dealers wish to clear up the old stock, i do not know.the waiting got too much, and i booked a Suzuki gixxer 250 (naked, of course, and not the sf variant) during the auto show (still continuing during the time of writing), but i now suspect that the gixxer 250 naked does not have a central stand.!!!!!!!! I am shocked!!!! WHY????????? I need one (a central stand, that is) for regular maintenance at home, and also for cleaning purposes. Also, i need a central stand for packing and tying up luggage and saddle bags while on a tour...!!!!! I do not see a good logic for this omission on a naked bike, not one!!!!!!! So......
