Suzuki V-Strom SX Mileage

Recently I purchased a Suzuki V Storm 250 and the bike is extraordinary, super pickup power. It is an adventure bike in a budget segment will suggest everyone consider it once while going to purchase an adventure bike, it a smooth acceleration, a comfortable riding position with 35 kmpl mileage, and is good looking.

About the Reviewer

The bike has very good engine refinement and performance looks but short riders little bit uneasy and the service point of view is very poor overall good bike I like it some minor cons are there are no switchable abs and no LED indicator and the horn is very low sound mileage also a little bit low when compared to other 250cc segment bikes.

This bike is best if you are shifting from 150cc and want to explore as well as learn fast about adventure touring, highest mileage I got was 44 downhill normally it goes to 35 to 38 always maintain tire pressure and keep the chain clean for better result pillon support is like 70 % comfy rest will get used to in time.

About the Reviewer

1. The buying experience was good.
2. Riding was a bit stiff. But does the job on highways. Not an offroader bike.
3. Looks wise I loved it. But performance wise it's average. Decent power. Got a mileage of 35-38 in highways and 28-30 in the city.
4. Maintenance cost is low but not the servicing. I paid 1300 for my first free servicing. Idk how much I have to pay next.
5. Pros:- Overall Good looking bike, has a road presence. A proper highway tourer. You will enjoy it on the highways.
Cons:-
(i) My bike has vibrations on the right accelerator handle. Idk if someone else has it. On long tours, my right-hand goes numb.
(ii) Stiff suspension that's why it is strictly not an offroader. Go for a Himalayan if you want off-roading.
(iii) Clunky gearbox. I have difficulty with shifting gears. It's rough, especially with the 6th gear.
(iv) The engine makes a bad sound when I rev it to the max.
(v) Headlamps are completely useless in the dark.
(vi) The top speed I got is around 110km/h. It doesn't go more than that. Or maybe I am a noob idk. And the cruising speed is around 60-70 if you want a mileage of 35-38. I hope I get more after 2 more services.
(vii) Although this might not be a con but i suggest you buying a rear tire hugger. The bike gets completely dirty on the rear because of the sticky tires which is good for gripping during rainy seasons.
(viii) The Pricing of this bike. It is not value for money.
