GW 250

[JWR]

Clearly inspired from the generic design of the acclaimed B-King, the 2013 Suzuki GW250 is yet another small-displacement motorcycle for the beginners and even for those past the entry level.

With each new bike under 500cc we think more and more about this massive shift in the markets, with customers staring looking for smaller bikes with better mileage for the everyday commuting needs and even for some leisure time around the city.

Here's the 2013 Suzuki GW250, powered by a 248cc liquid-cooled 2-in-line engine delivering up to 26 BHP and sporting enhanced maneuverability thanks to its light construction. This 4-stroke bike weighs around 400 lbs (181 kg) and comes with a 6-speed gearbox, chain final transmission and a classic wet sump clutch.

The engine is fuel-injected and also comes with a convenient electric starter and disc brakes for both wheels. The rumored price will be around $4,099 (€3,230), making it a direct adversary for the likes of the Honda CBR250.
