Suzuki teases new motorcycle for India; V-Strom 250 on cards?

In India, the V-Strom 250 will compete with the KTM 250 Adventure and the Benelli TRK 251.

Suzuki Motorcycles has released a teaser of its upcoming motorcycle. Rumours suggest that it could be an ADV, possibly the V-Strom 250 or the V-Strom 1050.

Suzuki currently offers the fully-faired and streetfighter versions of the Gixxer and the Intruder cruiser in India. While the company sells the V-Strom 650XT, it doesn't have an entry-level ADV in its model line-up. The V-Strom 250 could fill in this gap.

The V-Strom 250 is powered by a 249cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that develops 26 BHP and 22 Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed transmission.

In terms of styling, the 250cc version borrows design cues from the 650XT. It features a round headlamp with a windscreen and a prominent beak.
