About the Reviewer

The bike is so Amazing, It's been a month since I bought it, The bike's comfort is superb, and the power of the bike is amazing it will never let you feel underpowered.
And the best part is its road presence this v strom 250 sx is a head turner.
But there are some cons also to this bike first one is the engine heating issue, sometimes I feel the heat on my right leg.
2nd con is sometimes I get a burning smell from the engine.
and the service experience is very horrible.
But the bike is amazing you will have fun with it.

1.Showroom takes more money from ex showroom mention on official website.
2. Bike is actually Vibration-Strom. I've exchanged my gixxer sf for this shit. Now I regret every day.
3. Looks good. Chains are very noisy also visors on left side pull out on high speed. Mirrors fall down on vibration.
4. After 2nd serviced done right leg side penal not fitted properly. They make noises. I've fixed it outside. Left side pulling issue never solver.
Only pro's is mileage I've got 45 approx otherwise only cons cons and cons.
Please riders avoid this shit.

About the Reviewer

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..

About the Reviewer

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

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 service
2. 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.
