Features

Additional Features

  • 12-month unlimited mileage limited warranty. Longer coverage periods with other benefits available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).* (*Subject to separate coverage for certain parts and the exclusions and limitations described in the New On-Road Motorcycle Limited Warranty.)
  • Three dimensional “S” badges on the fairing and upper fork bracket celebrate the Suzuki brand and its heritage of technological and styling excellence.

Chassis Features

  • Suzuki’s sporting essence is present in the GSX250R ABS’s full bodywork that features an aggressive style with a futuristic flair. Select styling cues from historic and current Suzuki sport bikes appeal to both new and experienced riders.
  • The fairing routes cool air to the radiator while moving hot air from the engine away from the rider.
  • The nose of the motorcycle features unique dual LED position lights, angular fairing-mounted mirrors, and an effective sport windshield that incorporates slots that help reduce wind buffeting.
  • The mass-forward styling of the tail section and its LED taillight are evocative of the GSX-R1000R.
  • The stylish and trim fuel tank holds 4.0 US gallons (15.0 liters) of gasoline for an excellent riding range. With a full tank of gasoline, the GSX250R ABS has a riding range of over 250 miles**. (**Suzuki’s fuel economy estimates are based on EPA exhaust emission measurement tests conducted by Suzuki and are intended for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage may vary depending on how you ride and maintain your vehicle, road and driving conditions, tire pressure, engine break-in, accessories, cargo, rider and passenger weight, and other factors.)
  • The comfortable, contoured rider’s seat has a low seat height of 790mm (31.1 inches).
  • The separate rear seat is set higher so the passenger has a better view over the rider’s shoulder.
  • The semi double-cradle frame provides a strong foundation for the GSX250R ABS’s quality suspension, ABS-equipped brakes*, and exciting bodywork. (*Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.)
  • The well-tuned telescopic front fork soaks up bumps for smooth tracking up front – whether riding irregular city streets or faster open roads.
  • Rear suspension action is handled by a mono-shock system that stays hidden from view to augment the bike’s performance style. With seven-way adjustable spring preload, the rear suspension can be easily tuned for a passenger or cargo+. (+Never exceed the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of this motorcycle. The GVWR is the combined weight of the machine, accessories, payload, rider, and passenger. Review the Owner’s Manual for accessory and loading information.)
  • The clip-on handlebar’s design and reach were developed to provide a comfortable riding position.
  • The five-way adjustable front brake lever allows the rider to position the lever for comfort and confidence.
  • Hydraulic, ABS-equipped* disc brakes front and rear grasp petal-style stainless steel rotors to provide consistent and controlled braking whether commuting on city streets or roaming the open road. (*Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.)
  • Ten-spoke, 17-inch, cast aluminum wheels hold road-grabbing IRC tires that provide sporting performance through a variety of road conditions.

Electrical Features

  • The GSX250R ABS is equipped with a back-lit multifunction LCD instrumentation panel that displays a wealth of information.
  • At the top of the display is a bar-graph tachometer, and in the center is a large digital speedometer with a convenient digital clock and digital gear position indicator.
  • Also present in the panel is an odometer, twin trip meter, fuel gauge readouts, and a service reminder. A bright, programmable shift light is joined by LED alert indicators for the turn signals, engine functions, ABS, and high beam.
  • The bright halogen headlight is bracketed by a pair of distinctive position lamps using high-tech, surface-emitting LEDs.
  • The rear tail light also uses surface-emitting LEDs for excellent visibility to traffic.
  • The turn signals feature amber incandescent bulbs with clear lenses and are well placed to not interfere with a passenger or accessories+. (+Never exceed the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of this motorcycle. The GVWR is the combined weight of the machine, accessories, payload, rider, and passenger. Review the Owner’s Manual for accessory and loading information.)
  • Projected tip-style spark plugs enhance combustion, improving throttle response and fuel economy.
  • The GSX250R ABS uses an open-type regulator/rectifier to reduce charging-system draw that can rob power from the engine. A maintenance-free battery makes sure the motorcycle starts quickly each time.

Engine Features

  • The 248cc, parallel-twin engine that powers the GSX250R ABS has been refined to maximize low- to mid-range torque to deliver a power characteristic that emphasizes ease of control.
  • A proven engine design and fuel-injection (EFI) tuning yields exceptional fuel economy of approximately 73.6 mpg** while satisfying worldwide emission requirements. (**Suzuki’s fuel economy estimates are based on EPA exhaust emission measurement tests conducted by Suzuki and are intended for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage may vary depending on how you ride and maintain your vehicle, road and driving conditions, tire pressure, engine break-in, accessories, cargo, rider and passenger weight, and other factors.)
  • Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) stabilizes the engine idle and helps provide nearly linear throttle response for clean, exciting performance.
  • The camshaft profile maximizes engine performance when riding at road speeds between 15 to 55 mph. This helps the GSX250R ABS deliver true, practical performance.
  • The valve train employs roller-type rocker arms for valve actuation to reduce mechanical losses.
  • Screw and nut valve lash adjusters helps keep maintenance simple and inexpensive.
  • The intake valves have a slim stem profile near the head to optimize airflow into the combustion chamber.
  • Low-tension piston rings are used to reduce friction, while a special honing pattern on the cylinder wall increases oil retention for additional friction reduction.
  • A coupling-type balancer shaft fitted to the engine’s crankshaft reduces vibration and enhances rider comfort.
  • A unique oil pump design is used in the GSX250R ABS to reduce frictional loss while providing excellent engine lubrication.
  • Dual head pipes effectively route the exhaust through a high-flow catalyzer and into a stylish solo muffler covered with a buffed stainless steel shield.
  • Designed to get the most out of the engine’s mid-range performance and emit a pleasing sound, the GSX250R ABS's exhaust is lightweight and stylish.
  • A six-speed transmission, with gear ratios well matched to the engine’s output, further improves low- to mid-range power delivery.

Key Features

  • Here’s a fully faired, quarter liter sport bike with an aggressive, flowing styling true to Suzuki’s sport bike heritage. The GSX250R ABS’s new, two-tone Metallic Diamond Red and Pearl Nebular Black paint scheme brings big bike quality to the 250 class.
  • Fuel-injected, twin-cylinder engine delivers a responsive, broad power band with class-leading fuel economy of approximately 73.6 mpg**. (**Suzuki’s fuel economy estimates are based on EPA exhaust emission measurement tests conducted by Suzuki and are intended for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage may vary depending on how you ride and maintain your vehicle, road and driving conditions, tire pressure, engine break-in, accessories, cargo, rider and passenger weight, and other factors.)
  • The GSX250R ABS features a reverse-lit LCD instrument panel and a bright halogen headlight, plus distinctive position lamps and tail light using new tech, surface-emitting LEDs.
  • The comfortable, roomy ergonomics for rider and passenger, with a slim fuel tank, that helps the rider easily plant their feet on the ground when stopped.
  • Ten-spoke, cast aluminum wheels, petal-type brake rotors, and quality KYB suspension components round out a chassis ready for any riding assignment.
