Thoughts About The Suzuki Gixxer 250 & SF 250 BS6 Launched In India

Suzuki has launched the Gixxer 250 motorcycle with only an engine update and not much has changed in terms of features. As a result, the price increase on the 250cc motorcycle is not as much as its younger sibling, the Gixxer 150s received when they got updated to BS6 standards.
