सुज़ुकी वी-स्ट्रॉम SX की क़ीमत ओंगोले में

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

Styling, design, features
Suzukis aren’t going to win beauty pageants except for their few Superbikes. In this case, the front is better than the rear with the beak as the most attractive element.
I feel this bike should have been just named SX250 rather than adding V-strom, which kind of dilutes the pedigree of the bigger V-strom. I was initially of the opinion that this contraption is only meant for cost-conscious countries like India, was surprised that the same model has been launched in Australia as well in 2023. Twin-cylinder engine model exists in Europe. Although that model may not make the cut for the V-strom badge, however, it at least has a twin-cylinder engine.
Many aspects have been carried over from 250cc Suzuki siblings. Part sharing is good in the platform, however, Suzuki India should have worked on both suspensions. Getting the ADV look is correct. However, the kind of roads that Indian cities have now mandate plusher suspension..

समीक्षक के बारे में

the engine is super smooth. I got 40 km on the highway.
The low-end torque is fabulous. easy to handle
best for touring. suspension is not up to the mark
It is far better than Himalayan It has the best Suzuki oil cooling technology, and engine cooling is not a problem
The ergonomics of the bike are good. The digital instrument cluster and Bluetooth connectivity help the rider.
