The GSR250 is a street bike that inherited the image of the large export-oriented B-KING model that drew an enthusiastic response due to its powerful styling. With its compact and sharp-looking headlight fairing, prominent fuel tank, and honed rear fairing, the GSR250 is designed with a distinctive wedge shape that thrusts up from the front to the rear. The newly developed fuel-injected long-stroke 250 cm³ liquid-cooled 2-cylinder engine generates low vibration and noise, and emphasizes rideability at the low and medium speeds frequently used on urban streets. Particular attention was paid to realizing easy handling for entry-level riders and delivering a bike at an affordable price.
