Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 1989, 1990
In 1989 Suzuki presented a new model, GSX 250S Cobra. In short terms you can say that it was a naked version of the Suzuki racing replica GSX R250R. It shared the same mechanics but didn't have the GSXR's fairing and the twin disc front brake and the 18-inch rear wheel. The Cobra was a fast and advanced bike. Unfortunately the GSX 250 bandit was released only three months after the CobraInterestingly a GSX 250S Cobra, Suzuki is still produced for the Japanese market, now a 45 hp (33 Kw) @ 15.000 rpm ‘four’ and weighing less than the original twin, how much fun might that be, in the unlikely event of Suzuki exporting them to European market.
