Suzuki has always occupied a slightly different space in Nepal’s motorcycle market. It doesn’t chase trends aggressively, nor does it overwhelm buyers with flashy feature lists or constant updates. Instead, Suzuki focuses on fundamentals, engine refinement, mechanical reliability, and long-term usability. That philosophy has earned the brand a quiet but loyal following in Nepal.
As we step into 2025, Suzuki’s motorcycle lineup in Nepal remains compact, consisting of just two models: the Suzuki Gixxer 155 and the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250. While the limited lineup may feel underwhelming in a market crowded with aggressive competitors, both motorcycles represent Suzuki’s core strengths. They are well-engineered, refined, and designed to age gracefully rather than impress instantly.
VG Suzuki, the authorized distributor of Suzuki motorcycles in Nepal, continues to position these bikes as premium yet sensible choices for riders who value smooth performance and long-term ownership satisfaction over short-lived excitement.

Suzuki V-Strom SX 250
Design and Road Presence
At first glance, the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 looks every bit like a modern adventure motorcycle. The beak-style front fender, tall windscreen, knuckle guards, and upright stance immediately communicate touring intent. The 19-inch front wheel and dual-purpose tyres further enhance its ADV-inspired appearance, making it stand out from typical street bikes.
However, seasoned riders will quickly notice that the V-Strom SX is more about visual adventure than hardcore off-road capability. The design successfully creates an adventure-bike silhouette, but underneath, it shares much of its DNA with the Gixxer 250 platform.
That said, for Nepali roads, where broken tarmac, uneven surfaces, and long highway stretches are more common than true off-road trails, the V-Strom’s design makes a lot of sense. It feels tall, commanding, and comfortable, especially during long rides.
Engine, Performance, and Ride Character
Powering the V-Strom SX 250 is a 249cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled engine producing 26.5 PS and 22.6 Nm of torque. This engine is one of Suzuki’s biggest strengths. It is smooth, tractable, and tuned for usable mid-range performance rather than outright aggression.
On the highway, the engine feels relaxed and refined, making sustained cruising effortless. In the city, the power delivery is predictable and friendly, which is especially important for a motorcycle of this size and height.
The suspension setup, consisting of telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear with 120mm travel, is tuned more for road comfort than off-road punishment. While it handles rough roads better than a naked street bike, it quickly reaches its limits when the terrain gets truly challenging.
Features and Practicality
In terms of features, the V-Strom SX 250 feels conservative. Dual-channel ABS is standard, but beyond that, the bike lacks the advanced electronics now common in the segment. There is no traction control, no riding modes, no ride-by-wire throttle, and no switchable ABS.
This minimalist approach aligns with Suzuki’s philosophy but also highlights where the bike falls behind rivals like the KTM 250 Adventure. For riders who prioritize simplicity and mechanical reliability, this may not be a deal-breaker. But tech-savvy buyers may find the feature list underwhelming at this price point.
The Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 is best viewed as a comfortable road tourer with adventure styling rather than a true ADV motorcycle. It excels at long-distance rides, offers excellent ergonomics, and delivers one of the smoothest engines in its class.
However, riders expecting serious off-road capability or cutting-edge technology may be disappointed. In essence, it feels like a Gixxer 250 wearing adventure gear, competent, refined, but not revolutionary.

Suzuki Gixxer 155
Design and Build Quality
The Suzuki Gixxer 155 may not look brand-new, but its design has aged remarkably well. Inspired by the larger Gixxer 250, it still appears sharp and muscular, especially with its sculpted fuel tank, compact tail section, and chunky rear tyre.
What truly sets the Gixxer apart is its build quality. Panel gaps are tight, paint quality is excellent, and the overall finish feels premium, something Suzuki has consistently delivered over the years.
Engine Performance and Everyday Usability
The 155cc engine produces 13.6 PS and 13.8 Nm of torque, figures that may not excite on paper but translate into smooth, usable performance in real-world conditions. The engine is refined, predictable, and well-suited for daily commuting.
At city speeds, the Gixxer feels effortless and easy to ride. On open roads, it remains composed, though vibrations creep in at higher revs. This is not a bike built for outright speed, it is designed for riders who want a stress-free ownership experience.
Variants and Key Differences
Suzuki offers the Gixxer 155 in two variants in Nepal: a carbureted non-ABS version and a fuel-injected ABS version. The difference in price reflects improvements in braking safety and emission compliance, making the FI variant the more future-ready choice.

Conclusion
Suzuki’s approach in Nepal for 2025 is conservative but consistent. With just two motorcycles on offer, the brand is clearly prioritizing quality, refinement, and long-term reliability over frequent updates and feature overload.
The Suzuki Gixxer 155 remains one of the most refined 150cc motorcycles in Nepal, ideal for riders who want a dependable daily companion. The Suzuki V-Strom SX 250, meanwhile, caters to those seeking comfort, touring ability, and a commanding riding position, even if it falls short of being a true adventure motorcycle.
Suzuki may not lead the market in innovation right now, but it continues to deliver motorcycles that feel well-engineered and trustworthy. For many Nepali riders, that reassurance is still worth paying for in 2025.
