Suzuki Inazuma 250cc | Will it do the job?

While my XJ6 was being looked at I had the opportunity to ride the Suzuki Inazuma 250cc for the first time as I had it as a courtesy bike. The question is, is it any good but also will it do the job?

Of course it's up to the job. It's comfortable, it's economical (80+ mpg), will touch 90mph so can cruise at legal speeds perfectly well and you can pick a decent one up for £1500. It won't get from one set of traffic lights to the next as fast as a 600cc + machine but I won't be waiting at the next set so long! Love mine 👍

My first bike after getting my full licence. All you need in Cornwall

[andygrant]

The bike is perfect if you live or work in London it is so undesirable it would never get stolen

[Dylzhaar]

I think some people are very strange because they compare stuff like this and they go 'oh why didn't you get this because it's faster' but then when people go to buy a car and they spend £5k on an economical hatchback rather than buying a V6 Audi TT or something nobody says a word. And the reason for that is because people understand that comparing those two cars makes very little sense. But then they can't see that comparing this kind of bike to a Ninja 400 for example isn't also a very strange comparison to make too.

Bought a 250f last year, 2015 with 8k on the clock. Aftermarket 2 into1 exhaust and a bigger screen have made it a belting commuter. Changed the rear sprocket to 41 teeth and it does 70mph on just over 8k revs. It's a cracking comfortable bike that goes bloody well with bugger all vibration. I'm 54 years old and I ride it like I stole it. Having so much fun on it

[MrSlowestD]

Yea a 250 should def. be enough there. You can survive on a 250 in the States. I'm heavy as fuck but I can hit like 75 on my wife's 250 aircooled nighthawk (which is on the slower side of 250's), and that's really all you need for highways. May not be fast lane worthy, but it's slow lane worthy.

This reminds me a bit of the CB300, which may have a bit more grunt while still being license compatible for new riders.

I own one still love this bike great review 👍

I used one of these when I did the BRC in 2017, as they didn’t have any dual sports. It was such a fun little bike to do the exercises on.

This bike reminds me of the machines that were about when I started riding in the 1970's ... Honda CB250N, Yamaha RD250 etc. They were popular then because of the licensing laws at the time, you could ride up to a 250cc on 'L' plates. Progression in those days (funds permitting) was: Sports Moped, 250cc, then a 'big' bike. In an ideal world, I would of started on a Yamaha FS1E, then a Kawasaki KH250, then on to a Suzuki GT750 ... but it never happened. I struggle to think why anyone would go for the Suzuki Inazuma 250cc (in the UK) now, surely a mid range maxi scooter would be better. Anyway, thanks for a great review, which for some of us older watchers, was a trip down memory lane!

[Nrgpack]

Ooooh, that wobble is due to a worn front tire. I had it on my Yamaha Tracer 900 when my tire was shoot. Big thanks"Spicy110"!!

[matthackeson]

This was my first brand new bike and first big bike after getting my A2 and I absolutely loved it! Sad I got rid of it now, but had lots of fuel injector and sensor issues the day after it came out of warranty. This brought back great memories

[bikersquest]

I have one and an FZ1 and I prefer to use this like 80% of the time. It's super easy to ride just has quite a bit of engine braking which might catch some people off guard. For the economy this gives though I'd rather get a CB 500 instead, more power and basically the same economy.

My one also does that tank slappery thing it was the top box causing it for me.

[therealunclevanya]

03:20 I was going to say all the decent 250's when I was growing up had 2into2 exhausts! GT250/X7, RD250E/LC and my favourite, a CB250N Super Dream, then I remembered I had a KH250 😄and even my despatch rider bikes were CB250RS that were single cylinder bikes with 2 exhausts! Suzie looks nice but also looks smaller than the 250's of my day.

At last someone decent has done a review on this

[FranTheGimp]

Been using one of these as a commuter for 4 years now. Mine has that handlebar shake too

[grahamearl]

Nice review and for me quite timely as one of these has recently come up for sale in Gibraltar, I'd never heard of this model before and the 250cc bracket is becoming of more interest to me.
On the subject of the suspention maybe some heavier fork oil would stiffen up the front and maybe some Hagon shocks for the rear, just depends what the individual rider makes of the handling and if they can be bothered to make the investment in the changes, nice job, thanks for posting.

[kevindarkstar]

Maybe the rear shocks could do with being turned up, might help that wobble 🤔

[MoroMagrew]

Cheers for sharing your viewpoint! See this bike a fair bit round the roads here in Hong Kong, seems pretty popular with the food delivery drivers.

[kevinmobile]

Yup, the double white lines is an interesting one as there's perhaps more to it than some people think.

Section 129 of the Highway Code states: "You MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road.

"You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph or less."

So, not a peloton or a galloping horse (yes I've seen one on tarmac) going at speed.

And while most bikers might not consider their machines are wider than their tyres, a policeman or a court might decide otherwise.

I asked a senior policeman on a course recently what the view would be if you crossed a double white passing say a queue (how long is a piece of string?) of stationary cars ahead of traffic lights. Nothing specifically as an example of that in the Highway Code but he felt that would be frowned upon...

[PhatPhinx]

saw one on marketplace and it looks perfect to cut up and make a garage cafe racer out of
