Suzuki V-Strom SX Price in Badlapur

Here's my honest review. I have been using this bike for over 1.5 years and have driven it for 25k kms.
Pros: Smooth engine. Super comfortable and wonderful machine for touring. Return good milage in both highways and city. (Above 30 in city traffic)
Low maintenance in terms of filter and engine oil.
Clutch is a bit stiff and riders under 5.7 will be bit uncomfortable as the bike is tall
Cons: Out of excitement I missed doing a predelivery inspection. There was a knocking sound from the front shocks when breaks were applied or when i used to hit a pothole. I brought this to the mechanic's notice at the very first service and I have approached them for the same issue 5 times. Every time they would just tighten some nut and return the bike saying it's fixed. Last time they replaced the coneset still the sound came back after a few hundred kms. I'm frustrated with Suzuki's service. I commute is mostly on highways and traffic never off-road. I wonder how many issues might arise if I go for off-roading.
Next is quality of switches: all switches stopped functioning properly after 10k kms. They never replaced it even after complaining several times. I'm facing this issue from reputed service centres from both Udupi and Bangalore(Karnataka).
Another issue is suspension is too stiff and the suspension travel is low. Your arms get punished each time you hit a pothole.
The worst part is resale value for this bike is too low. Incase you want to sell it Good luck with your task 🙂 as market is flooded with 2nd hand vstroms with low demand

About the Reviewer

I bought the bike immediately after it gets launched. The buying experience was amazing the S. P. Suzuki Kandivali dealership had a superb salesman.
Riding this bike in the city or highway is amazing its light, fast, stable, and wonderful seat.
The yellow colour is vibrant and different and its stands out in the crowd. The bike looks awesome.
This bike is good for all kinds of roads. On highways 100 / 120 km/hr is smooth. You can ride for hours on this bike without any problems.
The service experience is not that good for me had some paint-related issues but all got resolved by Suzuki.
Pros
Lightweight
Great seats
Good breaks
Handling is good
Good mileage
Good pickup
No vibration
Refined engine
Stable at top speeds
Cons
The front suspension travel is just 120 mm which is less I think and it's stiff.
The silencer design could be better.
