Oh, sure, I'd trust a Suzuki - they've had hundreds of years (in engineering terms, it's like dog years) to work through the bugs.
Sadly for them, UK buyers demonstrably don't give a stuff about reliability: BMW consistently hammer them in sales. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Have they announced prices yet? All I've seen is a claim that it's a kg or so lighter than a YZF. Mind you, it could hardly be more expensive.
The GSX250R appears to be an Inazuma in a frock, like the V-Strom 250 is an Inazuma on stilts. So, yeah, reliable. But 25hp.
The market for the 'R' must be tiny, I can't think why they're even bothering. I note that they've very carefully not called it a GSX-R250, so when it flops they can claim it wasn't really a Gixxer (Y U MotoGP edition tho?) and hasn't tarnished the brand. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
