Suzuki Inazuma.

Unique looking Inazuma undoubtedly overpriced, but still a well-built and comfortable 250cc option.Suzuki hasn’t quite aced it with the Inazuma, largely due to its heavy pricing, although the motorcycle does have its fair share of strengths. If you like the way this bike looks, the well-built Inazuma makes for a truly individual-looking bike. Our tests show that performance is lacklustre for a 250 twin, outdone by even rival singles, but on the upside, the Suzuki is really refined, smooth and reliable, with a slick gearbox in tow.Despite being on the heavier side, the Inazuma does still handle reasonably and provides good ride quality. Suzuki’s ace in the pack is comfort, which no other 250 in India can match, thanks to the Inazuma’s well thought-out riding position. So if money isn’t a problem, and you’re keen on a dependable, comfortable 250, look no further.
