After launching the brand new Gixxer streetfighter, Suzuki Motorcycles has now come up with a new colour scheme for its faired sibling, the Gixxer SF. The Gixxer SF gets a MotoGP inspired colour scheme, which is derived from the 2019 edition of Suzuki MotoGP machine, GSX-RR. The faired machine adorns Suzuki Ecstar decals, distinctive wheel pinstripes, and some more additional touches inspired from the track machine. Priced at INR 1,10,605, this motorcycle is priced at a premium of only INR 735 over the regular variant. The manufacturer also mentions that the Gixxer 250 too, will be offered with the MotoGP paint scheme in the month of August, allowing customers to own a bike which looks almost like the race bike.
