The new chassis, new engine and new looks are sure to pull a lot of attention when you’re not pulling wheelies past the local chip shop – and when it comes down to ‘proper’ riding or commuting then this new quarter-litre motorcycle from Suzuki is bang on for the money, too.

Plus it’s now in the UK. Good news!

Making just under 25bhp @ 8,000rpm from the 248cc, 4-stroke liquid-cooled, SOHC parallel-twin and kicking out 23.4Nm of torque @ 6,500rpm, there’s enough poke from the small bike to have fun with.

Suzuki claims an incredible 91.12mpg from the 181kg bike (but let’s be honest, that’s with it drinking from its sippy cup with a rider being so delicate with the throttle as to have almost mythical skills that wouldn’t really be applicable to most of the real world) so it’s not exactly a heavy drinker.

There’s a new LCD dash and LED lights on the bike too.

The base model (GSX250R) in an all-black colour scheme costs £4,299 whilst the GP-schemed GSX250R GP in the racy blue and yellow look will lighten your wallet by £100 more.
