The Suzuki Gixxer 250 has proved to be an amazing motorcycle. It’s ticked off so many boxes in the 250cc segment that it’s been super easy to recommend to you, #PDArmy. But now, Bajaj’s downsized the Dominar 400 into a 250cc motorcycle that we think is actually a better product than the original 400! So fireworks are to be expected when the Bajaj takes on the Suzuki. We went for a ride to figure out who makes the best 250 in the segment today. Let the battle commence! Watch the video and comment! We want to know what you think!

Gixxer managed to retain the weight despite bs6 👍
Gixxer was launched as bs6- ready , even many reviewers mentioned it , maybe that's one reason

According to Shumi, Gixxer's weight is the first advantage it has over the Dominar.
Suzuki gixxer is now in BS6 without any change in weight and almost no change in performance specification at all. 😊
There are 3 to 4 advantages, starting with weight 😉😎😀
Weight....is the 1st Advantage. Another advantage which PD missed is the service experience which is lot better in Suzuki.
P.S.- I own a Gixxer 155 & an AS200.
PD ARMY ❤️
Give away answer : that 'gixxer' has no change in weight even after being Bs6 compliment and its performance also remains the same, yo shumi sir 🤘
Q
@@vinayakmahajan7731 Q?
Answer is weight ofc.
Also looks dope!
In my personal experience and from the information from friends, the Dominar may be refined at first one-two years. But later the sound itself changes. The refinement levels will gradually decrease by time.
Where as the Suzuki or Honda or Yamaha has best reliable engines. The Japanese engines are trustworthy.
The Suzuki has a better balance of practicality and sportiness. Most of the people ignore suzuki machines. But once you tried it, it will make you happy. It is so nimble, well balanced, friendly and reliable.
I won’t disagree. Sounds like thats right.
Also my friend experienced same on dominar
But another friend has dominar for 4years
But his bike has no issues
He said that it because of the bajaj engine oil and also not maintaining the engine well
His bike is still smooth as new
His bike is 60k ridden on it
He uses liquimoly engine oil and also
Motul
Using both by changing in correct periods of servicing
Dominar brdt
@@allen3539 60k? Time for an engine rebuild.
Right bro
The advantage that shumi mentioned was that the SUZUKI GIXXER has somehow become bs6 compliant without any changes in weight and almost no change in it's performance specification at all.
The only reason i like the dominar more is the availability of spare parts and the more comfortable riding position
Not to mention the pillion comfort is better too
No the gixxer sf 250 has very good comfort. You can really tuck in when needed and also you can sit almost straight without any discomfort.
I think you're sayin this because of the clipons.
@@sidharthsankar1972 Both are comfy but Domi is better because of upright position with very minute aggresive position..very minute so it much more comfy
Don't forget that gixxer sf 250 is an entry level sportsbike... Due to the aerodynamics they have to built it that way. The pillion seat will be placed higher than the rider seat.
@@stupyshark9632 I think the gixxer is an entry level sports tourer, it's like the best of both worlds. But if you really wanna tour with a pillion you're better off with a himalayan or the cruisers. The design of the pillion seat is a whole another story if you ask me. In the himalayan also the pillion seat is higher than the rider seat. Even though the gixxer's pillion seat is higher it's adequately wide and supportive.
@@sidharthsankar1972 true but having the pillion seatlower would likely mean legs wouldn't fit well in front of the sidecases, or the feet would be too close to the exhaust, as well...but most touring motorcycles are meant to ride solo with the rear to mount luggage.
First point, suzuki's weight advantage over dominar
Ya but don,t forget liquid cooled engine from ktm
Le pnmbbvvvy5321🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
More than that Gixxer gear ratios are perfectly tuned.... Domi seems laggi in higher gears... It have weight issue also..
Why do you need higher revs except for highways? Gixxer SF is pathetic in highways. The aggressive stance won't allow you to ride it for long distances
@@123456sha5 a responsive rev range help make overtaking easier and safer.. don't need to downshift for that.
I own a D250 and weight isn’t such big of an issue once you start moving, it’s only noticeable once I need to take it out of my parking lot. On the highways though it remains rock solid and planted to the ground. Plus the red color is a head turner! (Not to forget the amazing exhaust note which is so pleasing to the ears)
Bro..can u tell me the mileage of ur d250??
Cheers Aryan! Glad you’re loving it! But planted and weight aren’t connected to each other as closely as you think
@@ahamadhussainthakurai4535 my Domi250 gives around 33 in city and 31 on highways.... but if you pull it on every corner the economy drops to 29.... the top speed u get on domi is 153kmph i personally have achieved it.
@@roopampatel1277 thanks for reply
@@ahamadhussainthakurai4535 I get anywhere around 35-40kmpl (city and highway combined)
1st advantage that Shumi told was :
The Gixxer 250 is BS6 compliant now but hasn’t added on any weight.
The first advantage becomes even more pronounced with Gixxer 250 (naked) which is only 156kg and much easier to glide through the traffic due to the absence of front fairing. I bought it over SF cos the handlebars are a bit upright which is ideal for my daily 60kms city commute

2020/21 Rtr 200v: nice joke son 😁
@@ranjitprakash1986 Still lacks 6th gear, top speed and high speed cruising on Rtr200V feels restricted :)
If it had 6th gear instead of slipper clutch - would be best in it's class for sure!!
Moving to bs6 still there's no performance lack in Gixxer sf 250❤️
Agreed! That was lovely!
When Gixxer 250 was launched last year they stated that the bike is BS6 ready....... maybe that has to do with providing same power even after making it BS6 compatible
@@shu_mar was the riding position convenient for long ride
.3 nm torque has been decreased,it does feels small amount of power lag than bs4.But it's very less so people may don't realize it while riding
@@rishichandran3627 it is slightly racy but not as much as an rr310 and is way lot comfortable compared to supersport motorcycles of the same price

Honda Cbr250r is such a gem of a vehicle. Hope Honda will soon launch the upgraded version of it. Also Powerdrift in last 8 years never reviewed the cbr250r , I wish Shumi to do one , make some series of reviewing discontinued vehicles.🙏🙏🙏
@@qaz123orama1 Yes but it's not Cbr250r
😂😂😂
The Weight, first + you mentioned.
It is indeed a very important feature for skinny people.
relatable
❤ *Hope the King of 250cc will arrive again.* *_CBR 250r_*
We are the reason for discontinuation of CBR... There are only about 40 units has sold before it has discontinued.. at the same time dukes are sold more than its 50 times of cbr.. Honda discontinued it and we are blaming honda for that.. i don't know why..😬
@@aswinraveendran Off course we will blame honda. People didnt buy it because it was lacking so much featutures and updated when compared to its competitors. It was outdated. (Not looks. Looks are awesome and manly)
@@SK-qc7pn the international version also is the same .. Ys Honda is not bothering about tourer..
@@SK-qc7pn looks the tail section is completely outdated..
@@SK-qc7pn It had an excellent engine and gearbox. Styling is subjective. But it was light and fuel efficient. It could tour long distance easily.
People nowadays want fancy displays,slipper clutch and something that looks mean.
I still believe the Gixxer 250 is a spiritual successor to the cbr 250r. Very very similar engines and overall specifications are also similar. Only extra things are the screen and led lights and all that.
Shumi mentioned that the gixxer didn't have much changes from its transmission from bs4 to bs6 including the weight and rhe power output

"Starting with weight"!!
Let's take a minute to appreciate how he hinted at the giveaway answer 🙏
Weight
1st advantage that Shumi mentioned Gixxer has over D250
🍻
First advantage mentioned by Shumi is the less weight as compared to Dominar which makes it flicking through traffic a lot easier.
The very first advantage of gixxer250 shumi mentioned over D250 was its weight.. Despite being the bs6 complient... It doest not affect the performance. Its lighter than D250...
👍🏻🏍️
It's a rocket for 250cc ... Punches hard from low to top
The first advantage shumi mentioned of the Suzuki GIXXER over the dominar 250 is that the dominar weight 180kg which is really heavy for a bike of this class.
And the other thing is that the Suzuki GIXXER some how has become BS6-compliant without any change in weight and almost no change in its performance at all.
The answer: Gixxer has lesser kerb weight as compared to Dom 250
The first advantage Shumi mentions of Gixxer over Dominar is that the Dominar (180 kg)is much heavier than Gixxer ..which is also Bs6 compliant and still has the same weight and performance.
I feel very sad that the the reviewers from powerdrift or zigwheels doesn't seem to enjoy the gixxer sf 250 all that much. I have the 250 sf motogp edition (all blue one) and I just love it. Albeit I have very limited experience the thought of riding it leaves me giddy and excited and I love it a lot. In the Zigwheels review for the sf250 they said "If you want a bike that will bring a smile to your face everytime you ride it, this is not it". Again a noob's opinion but everyone should give this bike a chance.
Cinematography was just awesome! Loved it ❤️
Yes this was an interesting comparison video to watch, thanks guys. Nice to see varun bro after a long time ❤️😍👍
The first advantage that mr shumi said about the gixxer sf250 was about its weight. despite gixxer having a fairing its a fairly light weight bike that is easy to use in the city and light weight makes its it better handling bike among these 2.👍👍its also little more fuel efficient despite have tanks capacity of 1 litter less compared to the dominar 250. Doesn't mean the dominar isn't an exciting bike, its seating comfortable, it has a relaxed riding position that's helps for touring. Still its the gixxer is an all-round bike that's do everything good and little better.
🍻
Gsx-250 have hayabusa feeling,, ride it n feel it.. Awesome stability, Amazing acceleration n mileage out of box...
It looks better as well
Great review. The Gixxer 250 weighs less than the SF250, at about 156 kgs. How would you rate the naked 250 on the highways with an aftermarket taller windshield?
" Dominor 250 weighs 180kg whereas Gixxer 250 weighs just 161kg - which makes it easier to flick around"
Great comparo guys..!! Keep doing this kinda stuffs, which motivates us and keeps us informative.
Agreed!! Shumi has more wisdom!!
I do? Someone’s spreading rumours!
@@shu_mar you do Sensei
The years 🌋👌🏻
The First Comaparison was The Kerb Weight that Gixxer SF Leads in comparison With Domi.......
@Powerdrift
The first weight advantage mentioned was weight. Kerb weight of dominar is 19 kg more than gixxer, which makes it difficult to take confident turns.
U mentioned about the weight difference between the two machines😉power to weight ratio is important in performance bikes😁
Gixxer is lighter than dominar, and has redial tyers with good grip and good suspension than dominar , so it goes more quicker than dominar.
PPT ppppppp
P
Gixxer gears are perfectly tuned.. feels power in every rev ranges
The weight advantage...
Well, my hopes for a giveaway apart, a fine lighthearted video.. kudos, and stay young, by riding hard👍
I own a gixxer and it's a great bike to ride in cities and highways. I personally love to ride 🤟
Thou, I have a recommendation for gixxer to upgrade their indicator to LED, instrumental cluster with Bluetooth, USD forks, visor a bit high..
Drawback of Dominer:- small rare tyre. And small front suspension and the main weight is too heavy for 250cc bikes...
Cycle chala phir
Still Domonars USD front suspension are better than Gixxer's telescopic.
This video has everything we were expecting for so long! The comparison and Varun Painter! No offence Shumi we still love you 😂
Ahahahahah! None taken!
Weight, well I'm awarded with getting to see Shumi quite often.👍
First comparison was about the weight of the two motorbikes in which the GF has the head over the Dominar.
Do you guys have any intentions to review the BS6 fz25 and Fzs25
I own a Suzuki sf 250 and its beyond league ❤️
Me too... Absolutely loving it ❤️
Do you guy's please mention your personal mileaga experience of sf250, I am looking to buying one such.
@@alankarpatil3113 30 to 35
@@alankarpatil3113 35 on the highways... A bit less in the city
Bro... How is it for highway rides... Can it cruise comfortably at 100kmph...and how is it's stability...
shumi's 1st point : dominar is a haathi compared to gixxer.
The first point which you made was regarding the weight. Since, they're can be used as tourers, or would be very useful if you could give some info about the touring capabilities. And also, the pillion comfort was not mentioned...
Weight - that was the first advantage mentioned! Enjoying the Gixxer SF 250 in the city as well as the highway
Looks like Hardik Pandya had the new haircut inspired from Varun :)
Hahaha! Quite possibly! :P
@@powerdriftofficial 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Who’s Hardik Pandya? And will Varun see him later?
@@shu_mar umm after ipl ends then Varun might be 😬😬😬😬
One thing which aren't not covered in any reviews is reliability. In my personal experience, Suzuki bikes are more reliable and better build than Bajaj bikes.
The main problem with Gixxer 250 is that it looks exactly like Gixxer 150, and thereby robbing that premium looks.
Agreed!
But the Gixxer sf250 looks like a gsx and that itself makes it special I guess
Awesome comparison and the video too, it helps person like me who is sitting on fence watching every motorcycle from 250 to 300 cc segment deciding on which one to buy.
Being a short height of 5 feet 5 inches, I prefer the less weight motorcycle.
And that's the answer to Schumi's question, as the Gixxer is having less weight compared to Dominor.
Keep it up guys.
Weight is 1st Advantage Shumi mentioned. Answering these question really nostalgic.
After A Long Time Both Of Them Are Together Always Love See Their Dous Best Out Here!💜
Thanks Xantosh!

Jnnjj

"The touring" Advantage

I bought Gixxer sf 250 and I love the way it look, performe and is reliable everything is amazing. attention this bike get is also amazing I only felt one thing is it should have default long windshield or visor if that is their it's complete package.🙂
I'm having self relay issue with my Gixxer 260 is anyone having the same? What to do for that? I'm still wondering when I start my bike it rolled down with the self motor then only my engine come up with the full throttle it took around 5-7 seconds to start my engine
Gixxer over Dominar was "weight"
Dominar power amazing 🔥🔥
No.. domi's gears are not that much great.. especially in higher gears

Built quality
Milage. I feel naked gixxer is gud
Dominar has power on paper only 😏
@@aswinraveendran what about vibration Domi is good than gixxer
The answer:
The advantage would be the weight
Shumi mentions about the weigh of gixxer remains same for bs6 and weighs lesser than d250
The first advantage is weight. Dominar weight is about 180 kg which is higher for 250cc, while gixxer weight is 161kg even after getting bs6 implementation.
1st Advantage is in weight
Gixxer lot more flickable and at same time refined too, as its Japanese one
The first advantage of Gixxer over dominar is the weight of 164 kg compared to 180 of dominar
161
Gixxer SF250 is a SOHC Layout not DOHC (that's can't expect from Powerdrift) 🙄
Wrong Information 5:38
The first advantage mentioned by shumi of Suzuki Gixxer over Dominar 250 is, that it has become BS6 compliant without any change in its weight and any change in its performance specifications at all.
The first advantage you quoted was gixxer has somehow become bs-6 without change in weight
So it is lighter than dominar250
Weight is the 1st and main disadvantage of Dominar 250...
Good to see Varun Back...
Also tge gears feels lite bt laggy in higher gears... I think bajaj don't change the gearbox from 400 to 250..
Answer was gixxer sf has a lighter kerb weight. 🔥.
I have a question- Both bikes have 800mm of seat height but which is more comfortable for a guy of 5'5" height ? (I own a 155 cc gixxer sf and i have to touch the ground with my toe)
Then go for FZ25 it will be so comfortable for you
@@patterson9616 you are right but if only there was a little more power and the 6th gear 😣.
@@TheGODFFS you can ride it, i rode domi250 and im 5'4. though better if you take test ride
@@bhavyrahangdale2063 okay! Thanks :)
Please compare the pillion seat hights between domi 250 and gixxer 250? which is comfortable?
The first advantage mentioned was Weight. That gixxer has got BS6 updates without any change in weight.
People don't care about the weight in royal enfield motorcycles but when it comes to bajaj (dominar) they highlight it like it's a big problem that affects the bike and u can't control it well in city😒😒😒 . LoL
the point to be noted is that re 350 is a cruiser and mostly you wont rip it around the city,.......... on the otherhand dominar is a power cruiser which means you will rip it around and thats where the weight of it can be a bit robbing the performance of the motorcycle.
Very true...dominar 250 is not hard to ride in cities...you will get used to it within a week or less

The first advantage that you mentioned of gixxer SF 250 over the dominar 250 is that the gixxer has become bs6 compliant without any changes in its performance, also it is 20 kgs lighter than the dominar
is there any difference placing disk-break on either left or right side of the front wheel?
Give Away answer: "Substantial advantage is the weight, and you can feel it as soon as you climb onto it and it makes flicking through traffic a lot easier.
Answer is Weight. Shumi says Suzuki has less weight.
Which one to go for between Gixxer 250bs6 , Gixxer sf 250 bs6 and ktm 250duke ?
Balance of City comfort and Occasional Highway rides
Now I am even more confused which one to buy as my second motorcycle
Nothing .....and nothing ..
Varun : my head should look like a Pineapple 🍍😂
In love with zixxer 250❤❤ and itzz like a dream comes true... to get this one😍 but dominar plays and won the game ..if the weight is the point
I ve had the sf250 for over a year now and I ve done 8.5k at the odo, I dont know what they mean when they say the bike is "boring", it might be on a track but its thoroughly enjoyable in our riad conditions, yes it dosnt look loud and outrageous like the dukes but its still gorgeous to my eyes, infact it was love at first site for me with the silver sf250 and thats what i own, They said that the topspeed is 120, i dont know what they are talking about, yes the bike has vibes when it is new but once the engine opens up its very very refined and cruising at a spedo indicated 120 is no effort at all, and yes the speedo has a error of around 6kms, so the true top speed is around 150kmph and a speedo indicated 157 under the right conditions.
So no compo between the cooling systems of both bikes and its performance?
thus Shumi became class teacher asking ques...😭
Shumi talks about the Dominar being heavier than the Gixxer.
I've been a fan of powerdrift for the longest time and have been saving cash for the past few months to buy the Dominar. I'd love a new Dominar especially a Dominar from powerdrift 😍
Brother they are not giving away dominar to winner , the giveaway is of few accessories
Answer:
The advantage would be the weight.
Shumi mentions the weight of gixer remains same for BS6 and weighs lesser than D250
Weight..
1st advantage mentioned. In favor of Gixxer against the heavier Dominar
You guys are in perfect business !! ❤️👌🏼 Can trust you blindly. Great Review as ALWAYS !! Thank you
So honoured by that!
Thanks Chintan’
First point by shumi :Gixxer has weight advantage over dominar.
I think the gixxer is the most underrated bikes in its segment.
I did a test ride of the naked sport version and it was impressive I should say! Although there are few features missing like slipper clutch, smaller display (which I don't think is a big deal), sohc engine over dohc and oil cooling over liquid cooling. It still is a great bike both for city as well as highway rides.
It is a generic product hence failed, and the current trend in India is of the classic motorcycle like RE bikes, Jawa 42, Honda Highness
@@monkeymi4912 that's a surprise this bike is not seen much on the road. But honestly I feel this bike is much better than a RE. I myself owned thunderbird 350 cc and I bought it because of the hype that was created for this bike. Although re is a good bike, it has many downsides.
And the bikes are considering only the retro design majorly thereby compromising on few basic things. For eg, Java is a great come back but I feel it's seating height is not comfortable for tall riders (although I've not tried so can't confirm), the power figures and better than re.
The retro trend worked very well for RE but I don't see it a success for other bikes. This is only my personal opinion. Design and looks are again individual's personal choices.
The First point is weight. Its a major factor in this segement as people will look for all round performance. Some will go for power and some for longer ride but in both the case weight will play a major role. As well as in breaking. Well i love this Japanese manchince.
I was waiting for this...I was frickin waiting for this
So good to see you back Varun

The answer though is weight
