Suzuki Inazuma 250: The Forgotten Japanese Twin That Deserved More | Full Review & History

The Suzuki Inazuma 250 (GW250) is one of the most underrated Japanese motorcycles ever sold in Indonesia.
Launched locally in 2012, the Inazuma came with a 248cc parallel-twin engine, fuel injection, liquid cooling, and a strong focus on comfort and reliability rather than pure speed.

In this long-form video, I review the Suzuki Inazuma 250 in detail — from its history, specifications, and real-world riding character, to its strengths and weaknesses that eventually led to its discontinuation in the Indonesian market.

🔹 Brief History
Suzuki officially introduced the Inazuma 250 to Indonesia around 2012 as a premium naked sport-touring motorcycle.
Despite its solid engineering, smooth twin-cylinder engine, and comfortable ergonomics, sales were limited. At that time, the Indonesian market preferred either sporty fairing bikes or cheaper single-cylinder options, which made the Inazuma a tough sell.

Eventually, Suzuki stopped selling the Inazuma 250 in Indonesia, making it a rare but interesting choice in today’s used motorcycle market.
