The Suzuki GSX-R250 is a motorcycle that was manufactured from 1987–1990 by Suzuki. A couple of years after the presentation of the GSX-R750 the 250 cc GSX-R250 was released. Like the larger bike, the GSX-R250 had a box-frame (steel, not aluminum), full fairing, Full-floater rear swing and a four-cylinder four-stroke engine. But while the GSX-R750 engine was air and oil-cooled, the baby brother had a liquid-cooled engine. Not many examples are seen outside Japan. 17-inch cast wheels and 300 mm twin disc brake at the front. The GSX-R250 had impressive power and was made primarily as a road legal 250cc racing bike reaching speeds of 200+km/h (124mph). Imported specimens may be seen in Australia and New Zealand as a popular learner sportsbike option. Also, around 350 units were imported to Denmark around 1989 to 1992. The lightweight chassis and lengthy wheelbase of the GSX-R250 has proven to be great for quick acceleration and great on-road handling making this bike great fun for the sportsbike enthusiast.
