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.
