GW250's road to the gods is not only based on quality, but also ride and cherish! It is said that it will be discontinued
I'm a knight to share.
The content of this article belongs to the series of articles "Understanding a Motorcycle Every Day", and in this issue, we will talk about the national god car - GW250.
In the mainland market, the three brothers of Haojue Suzuki 250 focus on an outstanding quality, which makes them a relatively scarce model in this sector.
Especially under the backdrop of competing products, even if they have been the same for many years, they still have a huge user group, and even at the moment when appearance and configuration are popular, they have not been abandoned by the market.
Among them, the GW250 bore the brunt of the series and established the market position of the series in one fell swoop. However, in my opinion, the road to the gods of GW250 does not only rely on quality, but also on its reputation as a "national god car".
According to investigation, GW250, also known as Lichi, nicknamed "** is a model launched by Haojue Suzuki around 2011, and the current sales version is 2021 model, with an official price of 20,680 yuan.
In the process of evolution, the GW250 is in absolute competition with the Heavenly Sword King and the Feizhi 250 respectively, and it finally beat the other two models, and is currently a lonely competitor in the 250 cc access model.
The time period when the GW250 was on the field coincided with the beginning of the rise of the motorcycle craze, which made this motorcycle that should have been a road positioning have another identity and use, and also launched a motorcycle version of the GW250F (which was later replaced by the DL250).
Because of the blessing of excellent quality, coupled with the change of use and identity, this model that was originally only suitable for street travel has become a beautiful scenery on the motorcycle road, even if there are still friends riding this car to chase poetry and distant comfort, after all, it is not bad to ride at all.
But in fact, the reason why this car will be mythologized, in addition to its own King Kong indestructible body, another important reason is that it is more practical positioning, so that it can easily change between different roles.
GW250 is a road straddle bike set according to the elements of early Japanese street bikes, and the name of its street bike is actually a habitual but unprofessional name, because at this stage, only those NK models that are biased towards sporty performance meet this label, such as Chunfeng 250NK or KTM 250DUKE.
It is precisely because of this style and structural particularity that the GW250 has the potential to become a national god car, but as long as the factory is integrated into the post-modern street car attributes, even if the GW250 has an outstanding quality side, it is impossible to freely switch roles and uses, let alone meet the needs of motorcycle travel.
Therefore, the durable appearance and more pragmatic structure of this GW250 are the internal reasons why it has been deified.
Of course, the god car also has a day of aging. With the current performance of GW250, it is obvious that it does not meet the current market demand, so it is rumored on the Internet that this car is about to be discontinued, and it is already in a state of riding and cherishing.
In fact, this is normal, although the 250 cc practical access model does not belong to the absolute niche field, but with the rise of scooters and cruising princes, its market share is being squeezed, and it can do the work of the latter two models can also be taken into account, which makes this type of model has no room for evolution and upgrade, which is one of the reasons why the GW250 can dominate the list for a long time.
To sum up, although the Haojue Suzuki GW250 is not absolutely perfect, from a practical point of view, it is indeed a national god car, and the reason for this is that it has excellent quality assurance, practical attributes and multi-purpose potential.
