Suzuki Across
Encyclopedia
Suzuki GSX-250F Across was a small 250 cc engine sport touring
motorcycle
produced by Suzuki Motor Corporation from 1990 until 1998.
It is mostly known as a practical bike, due to its rear petrol tank and a fully enclosed helmet storage area where the petrol tank usually is. It is sometimes referred to as the 'handbag' due to its practicality. It is known to have reasonably light handling, good fuel economy, sufficient power, and a comfortable riding posture, making it a desirable first motorcycle for new riders or people who want to enter the sport bike scene. It is, however, approximately 20 kg heavier than most aluminum 250 cc competitors due to its steel frame.
The Across is sometimes criticized for its small fuel tank (12 l (25.4 US pt)), but it did feature a 2 stage low-fuel warning light.
The Across is a remarkably powerful motorcycle for its engine size. It features a 4-stroke 248 cc DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine featuring a CDI unit and two twin carburettors. The engine revs up to 16,500 rpm and makes either 40 PS or 45 PS, depending on year. Earlier models made 45 PS, but later models were restricted to 40 PS, in line with changes in Japanese Law.
Like the CBR250RR, the Across was officially available in Japan and Australia. The Across was not widely grey-imported elsewhere.
