You know what they say about assuming. How it makes an a** out of—well, you get the point. Either way, you'll understand why we were careful to not say much about the Suzuki GSX250R when it was unveiled at this year's EICMA show. The assumption was that Suzuki would bring the bike to the States. Key word there was, assumption.
Today we know for sure that it will, Suzuki having just confirmed that the 2018 GSX250R will be available in dealers by April 2017, in Pearl Glacier Nebular White or Pearl Nebular Black colors. In addition to that little nugget, it's also given us a better look at the bike's specs and features.
Intended for the budget-concious, entry-level rider, the GSX250R appears to be built around the same 248cc, fuel-injected twin-cylinder engine as the GW250 (not to be confused with the air-cooled mill in its TU250X) that produces a claimed 24 hp. Bore and stroke remain the same, as does the compression ratio, but Suzuki says the bike gets new intake valves for better airflow into the combustion chamber and new roller-type rocker arms in the valve train for reduced mechanical losses.
The 250/300cc category is filled with pretty stiff competition at this point, but the GSX250R at least looks sharper than the GW250F that was available up until 2015, and is claimed to offer better low- to mid-range torque than what Suzuki's little bikes have offered in the past.
The 250R features KYB suspension, and while it has the same wheelbase as the GW250 (we're not sure about other numbers like rake/trail), the spec sheet suggests that it will weigh 24 lbs. less than the fully faired GW250F did (392 lbs. vs. 416 lbs.). That's pretty impressive considering motorcycles are only getting heavier with each new emissions regulation standard that's passed.
Seat height is low, at 31.1 inches, though marginally taller than the GW's single-seat height. And did we mention the bike looks more sporty? Thank the new ten-spoke wheels and Katana-esque styling (Suzuki's claim, not ours) here.
The price is still to-be-determined, but with Suzuki's new full LCD display, LED taillight, and LED running lights, the GSX250R is arguably the best small-displacement bike Suzuki has yet come out with.
Will it be enough to go up against Kawi's Ninja 300, Honda's CBR300R, Yamaha's R3, or KTM's RC 390? Honestly, it would have to be hiding something really special behind that new fairing to do so. But hey, at least those fairings do look good!
We'll update you on the price as soon as it's announced, as that could be a big factor in the equation.

Se întinde un sedan full-size intr-o limuzina nu este nimic nou, iar conceptul a fost extins la SUV-uri, camioane și ocazional limuzina Chevrolet Corvette merge la bal locale. Dar un Dodge Challenger intins nu este o vedere de multe ori văzut. Din fericire, un utilizator pasionat cu ochi Imgur rupt unul dintre aceste Challengers întinse. În urma unor săpături, se pare că există cel puțin un cuplu de constructori antrenor responsabil pentru convertirea cu două uși coupe sport într-o mașină de petrecere echipată Gullwing. De asemenea, se pare că poți cumpăra un Challenger limuzina nouă pentru aproximativ același preț ca în mod similar, spec'd întins Chrysler 300; sunt șanse ar câștiga la fel de multă atenție ca Hellcat în ciuda faptului că o fracțiune de cai putere-prăjire a pneurilor.
