I got delivery within two days. Daily 30 km I use to ride.The bike is too smooth and 100% preferable for a long ride.Need some eye on the back side design.Cons: a headlight is not that effective on highways.if the abs switching option is there it means off-roading will be a little bit smoother.

Honest Review after 25k kms
1 week ago
Arjun
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 tallCons: 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

The mrf tyres are really good. Even though I am an enthusiastic rider i got a milage of 23k kms out of my back tyre. Front is still usable over 26k kms. Go for xpulse break pads. It will cost half price and same performance. Use motul engine oil (Suzuki's native engine oil make your engine lose refinement)

1. The buying experience is very good. when I visited to buy this machine in black colour they didn't have stock but as they promised they would bring the bike within 2. days & they did it... Love this service2. Riding experience: nothing to say... I just love to ride this machine... an awesome experience... Now my machine running 10530km within 9 months. I have done almost 5000km with a long ride it was a lovely experience. 3. Looks & performance: Performance is good.. you can get a decent average of 35-37 in the city & 40+ you can get easily on the highway depending on your riding style & weight. The looks are nice... but it could be more attractive if Suzuki give a little bit more features. I have seen one of the manufacturing defects on the knuckle guard.4. servicing & maintenance: it's a 250cc segment adventure machine so definitely service & maintenance will be a little bit high from other machines. but it is decent... if you own this type of machine & also if you are a daily user then you need to keep it under regular maintenance.Overall I love This machine in the adventure segment at this price... I would highly recommend it to those who can start with adventure.

The gear shifting initially is very hard but after the first service it gets smoother and performance is very good in the city and at highways. I have a Yezdi Adventure too v Strom's better than the Yezdi as it's a smaller engine and gives more mileage compared to the Yezdi but it's not suitable for extreme offroad pretty decent power which is sufficient for city and highways and decent mileage at both.

The buying experience was decent. Although, the showroom didn't give me a good deal and hadn't completed the promises still I was in love with the bike so I purchased it from them anyway. Riding experience is the ultimate to date. I have ridden 1700km and done my first service. I am getting good mileage, did an 800 km return trip with luggage and it was a comfortable ride both for rider and the pillion. Looks are awesome. Many eyes turn around when the bike passes or in a parking lot. It gives a big bike feel. Servicing is an area that is debatable. I did my first service but I think Suzuki's service centers need improvements. I have read reviews about Suzuki's service centers and I felt those are pretty true. However, the dealer is renowned and premium in my city so their customer service is good and responsive. Handling ( except left-hand side pulling, which has a solution but my service center does not know). Mileage, Seat comfort, and Headlight (compared to others in the segment) look very good. No heating issue. Maintenance cost. Need more initial torq. Side mirrors. The visor is a bit small. The exhaust note and its position bit awkward. The horn is loud but very scootish sound. The headlight throw is a bit awkward. The hazard light is missing. It should be included as it is a touring machine. After-sales service.

The looks are good and the height of the bike is very high similar to the BMW 310 Adventure. Riding experience is so good and the speed of this bike cruising is easily 100 km. Also, this bike comes with a liquid-cooled engine and the sound of this bike is very smooth. You will definitely love the road presence

I am about to buy this vehicle, have been reading a lot of reviews about the bike for a year, and have reached the final decision but still confused between Vstorm and Honda CB200X. It's about budget. For Vstorm I will have to increase my budget a bit. And Honda is also coming in my budget, and also Honda looks better than the Vstorm. But I can close my eyes and go for VSTORM.

Best bike in 250 cc segment
30 weeks ago
Sachin Bisht
The looks are good and the height of the bike is very high similar to the BMW 310 Adventure. Riding experience is so good and the speed of this bike cruising is easily 100 km. Also, this bike comes with a liquid-cooled engine and the sound of this bike is very smooth. You will definitely love the road presence

I am about to buy this vehicle, have been reading a lot of reviews about the bike for a year, and have reached the final decision but still confused between Vstorm and Honda CB200X. It's about budget. For Vstorm I will have to increase my budget a bit. And Honda is also coming in my budget, and also Honda looks better than the Vstorm. But I can close my eyes and go for VSTORM.

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

Honest Review after 25k kms
1 week ago
Arjun
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 tallCons: 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

The mrf tyres are really good. Even though I am an enthusiastic rider i got a milage of 23k kms out of my back tyre. Front is still usable over 26k kms. Go for xpulse break pads. It will cost half price and same performance. Use motul engine oil (Suzuki's native engine oil make your engine lose refinement)

Best in Adventure

Subhendu Saha Sardar
1. The buying experience is very good. when I visited to buy this machine in black colour they didn't have stock but as they promised they would bring the bike within 2. days & they did it... Love this service2. Riding experience: nothing to say... I just love to ride this machine... an awesome experience... Now my machine running 10530km within 9 months. I have done almost 5000km with a long ride it was a lovely experience. 3. Looks & performance: Performance is good.. you can get a decent average of 35-37 in the city & 40+ you can get easily on the highway depending on your riding style & weight. The looks are nice... but it could be more attractive if Suzuki give a little bit more features. I have seen one of the manufacturing defects on the knuckle guard.4. servicing & maintenance: it's a 250cc segment adventure machine so definitely service & maintenance will be a little bit high from other machines. but it is decent... if you own this type of machine & also if you are a daily user then you need to keep it under regular maintenance.Overall I love This machine in the adventure segment at this price... I would highly recommend it to those who can start with adventure.

Vstrom
10 weeks ago
You Never Know
The gear shifting initially is very hard but after the first service it gets smoother and performance is very good in the city and at highways. I have a Yezdi Adventure too v Strom's better than the Yezdi as it's a smaller engine and gives more mileage compared to the Yezdi but it's not suitable for extreme offroad pretty decent power which is sufficient for city and highways and decent mileage at both.

Strom is Storm in Quarter lit.
27 weeks ago
Shubham Ameta
The buying experience was decent. Although, the showroom didn't give me a good deal and hadn't completed the promises still I was in love with the bike so I purchased it from them anyway. Riding experience is the ultimate to date. I have ridden 1700km and done my first service. I am getting good mileage, did an 800 km return trip with luggage and it was a comfortable ride both for rider and the pillion. Looks are awesome. Many eyes turn around when the bike passes or in a parking lot. It gives a big bike feel. Servicing is an area that is debatable. I did my first service but I think Suzuki's service centers need improvements. I have read reviews about Suzuki's service centers and I felt those are pretty true. However, the dealer is renowned and premium in my city so their customer service is good and responsive. Handling ( except left-hand side pulling, which has a solution but my service center does not know). Mileage, Seat comfort, and Headlight (compared to others in the segment) look very good. No heating issue. Maintenance cost. Need more initial torq. Side mirrors. The visor is a bit small. The exhaust note and its position bit awkward. The horn is loud but very scootish sound. The headlight throw is a bit awkward. The hazard light is missing. It should be included as it is a touring machine. After-sales service.
