The Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 BS 6 was introduced in the Indian market back in May at ?174,000* for the regular paint schemes and ?174,900* for the top-spec 'MotoGP' edition.

Now the bike has turned dearer by around ?2,000. The regular Metallic Matte Platinum Silver and Metallic Matte Black now cost ?1,76,140*, and top-spec MotoGP Edition will now set you back by ?1,76,941*.

Save for the price increment, there is no other change on the motorcycle. The fully-faired quarter-liter offering from Suzuki comes kitted with features such as a fully-digital instrument cluster, full-LED headlamp, LED tail-lamp, clip-on handlebars, split seats with pillion grab rails, brushed finish alloy wheels, and double-canister exhaust.

The motorcycle shares the 249 cc single-cylinder engine with its naked counterpart, the Gixxer 250. This engine is an oil-cooled unit that features fuel injection. It is rated to deliver 26.5 PS at 9,300 rpm and 22.2 Nm at 7,300 rpm. It comes hooked to a 6-speed transmission unit.

The bike rides on telescopic front forks and a rear mono-shock which handles suspension duties at the rear-end. The braking duties are handled by disc brakes at both the ends. It also gets a dual-channel ABS.

Joining the latest trend of online auto sales and home deliveries to encourage new customers, the company recently introduced the �Suzuki at your Doorstep� program. This program is available at SMIPL�s official website and will allow customers to available services like sales, test-ride and after sales with just a click of a button.
