The first time I stumbled on the 2018 Suzuki GSX250R in early 2016, I was amazed at some of the massive new features the motorcycle brings to the cycling industry. This is one bike specifically intended for the more sporty riders out there. 

This mean street device is an excellent build if you’re having an issue with your motorcycle, especially when you want to get over tight turns and track days on winding mountain roads. So, you’ll need this bike for many of your riders making your way from the mountain-filled Northwest Passage Scenic Byway in Idaho through the historic Lariat Loop Byway in Colorado.

2018 Suzuki GSX250R reinvents the true nature and features of Suzuki’s Katana sport bike to the cycling world. Featuring a 248cc parallel-twin engine, the GSX250R boasts new 10-spoke wheels for added style, KYB suspension components, a reverse-lit LCD instrument panel, a bright halogen headlight, and a slim fuel tank.

It has been tagged a miniature GSX-R, but that sounds like a misnomer. With only 4 miles indicated on the odometer, the GSX-R brings you a helpful, fun, and friendly bike that exactly resembles Suzuki’s heritage of the current crop of bikes. The body is sleek and athletic, with a black color scheme and silver highlights that make for a clean and straightforward presentation.

The 248cc parallel-twin engine is not too much for beginner riders (who are learning to handle it) and a lot of fun for experienced riders (who want to enjoy every second in the saddle). The excellent low- and mid-range torque makes more of a bike that no one would like to take as a second choice. It’s built with nice and smooth acceleration throughout the RPM range. We have the electronic fuel injection to thank for boosting fuel economy. 

What about the telescopic fork and preload-adjustable shock that offers you great comfort and handling? That’s second to none. The GSX250R provides for the rider super riding comfort, thanks to the upright position it puts you in on its 31.1-inch seat height. What that means is that it doesn’t matter height. 

Even shorter riders can easily manage ad maneuver this motorcycle without any hitch. Easy-to-use controls, the saddle assures enough cushion that makes control and handling a lot easier. While riding, the GSX250R is built with an electronic screen that shows all the vital information you need in an easy-to-access format. You must be clear: the Suzuki GSX250R doesn’t belong to the high-performance bike class. But it’s a practical motorcycle that guarantees durability.

Do veterans want to know if Honda has thrown any changes at the 2018 Rebel 500? My answer will be double-edged. Yes and no. Do you want to find out why I have to ply that route? I’ll give you a run-down of the specifications and details of this bike that is great for weekend rides and daily commuting.

A new cruiser that is brother, juicer, and more beautiful than the Rebel 300, Rebel 500 has been truly rebellious since it was introduced in 2018. The bobber-style motorcycle is a significant update on the Honda Rebel introduced in 1984. The Rebel comes with an otherwise old-school ‘look’ with the 500 cc parallel twin-cylinder stolen from the trendy bikes.  

Built with a low-slung seat (seat height of 27.2 inches), the slim motorcycle is easy to control and manage at low speeds. It also comes with blacked-out paint, and a compact frame, and the Rebel 500 controls excellent ergonomics, making ride one of their best. Besides, with superior handling, the manufacturer makes the bike a near-sport one with the on-winding precision that always comes with comfort. 

Honda Rebel 500 is built with a relaxed and neutral riding position and gently outstretched arms matched to mid-mounted footpegs. The durable bottom-end torque and smooth produce linear power delivery.

Resisting this bike amounts to not wanting to enjoy its reminiscent circular headlight, which sits up high in a die-cast aluminum mount. The compact dial speedometer has a negative LCD and blue backlight. With an ignition housed below the left side of the fuel tank, the 2018 Rebel is blacked out to the maximum, with the minimum of paint, switching from solo-only to passenger-possible via two bolts. The arrangement makes it easy for riders to carry a passenger easily.

The mention of Yamaha is enough to send some shivers down the spine. You can’t go wrong with a bobber that’s mostly for city cruising. What a great bike designed to enhance beginner riders’ confidence.

The Yamaha Bolt R-Spec has a design complemented by a powerful 942cc V-twin engine and a set of piggyback shocks for a smooth ride.

You now know better why Yamaha upgraded to this killer rendition.

Moreover, the Yamaha Bolt R Spec features a stripped-down look, a low seat design, and a build begging for custom use.

The urban performance styling makes the Yamaha Bolt R-Spec a stripped-down bike emboldened with minimal chrome that epitomizes the “Urban Performance Bobber” look. That is better appreciated if you further look at the compact chassis that proudly showcases the 58 cubic inches (942cc), air-cooled, 60° V-twin sitting at the heart of the bike.

Then we talk about the high-tech engine. The Bolt R-Spec utilizes state-of-the-art modern technology that idolizes the machine and makes a superior machine with an unmatched riding experience that outclasses other devices of similar size. 

Yamaha has chosen these maps to show its class because it helps the motorcycle to deliver class-leading performance with strong low and midrange torque. With that, a smile won’t be far from you as a rider.  

The slim body and low seat design are specially made for this bike because its compact, stable chassis blends its light maneuverability and calm handling. That further makes upright riding posture easier for the rider and makes him feel the cozy wind, hear the loud sounds, and experience the current pulse of the machine.

Are you one of those riders who are hell-bent on customizing their bikes? Of course, you know not every bike affords you that luxury of opportunity. Bu Yamaha values machine personalization, and only you and your imagination can limit the level you can go to turn the Bot R Spec to how you want it to suit your needs and use. 

Additionally, in the Star Cruiser line-up, the Bolt R Spec combines the 3.4-gallon fuel tank with a host of other specifications, including belt drive, front and rear wheels, digital meter, and steel fenders to create a distinct look.
