This is the best long-touring bike. The seat is very comfortable, and the engine is also very smooth. And don't feel any vibration in this machine. This bike looks very good,Servicing is all good. And it's maintenance also easy. And you think about which is the best bike for a long ride. I recommended this as best.
Tips for Suzuki V-Strom SX
Change oil every 3000 KM's. And you must do chaine lube every 400kms.

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.

Strom is Storm in Quarter lit.

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.

The buying experience is good and the riding experience is also good.This is a good tourer machine with look and performance is also good service and maintenance are decent.All are the pros but only the price is not justified, The price is too high and the service network is very weak.Suzuki increased his service network and price is not an issue.

Surprised by the positive reviews I'm bikewale. Maybe everybody was out there to win the bumper prize for the positive reviews. Bought mine on June 23. Regrettably one of the worst investments in my life. Though the engine & gears are super smooth, the suspension is clearly HORRIBLE. You get to feel bumpy even on the smoothest of the roads which doesn't inspire conducted I'm me to ride faster. The constant jumpiness on minor potholes & bumps leaves me irritated, wondering when to finish off my emi & sell this trash off.

Most underrated adventure bike in 250-300cc segment
33 weeks ago
Tirthankar Goono
1. Suzuki doesn't promote this bike the way it should be. 2. No vibration at all. In highway 90-110 you can cruise with ease. No vibration was felt at my feet or hand during my Kolkata Sikkim Bhutan circuit. Am 5ft 11 and am comfortable with the seating posture.Pros 1. Can take to Leh, Sikkim with no problem. Ground clearance is very good. No issues with off-road. 2. No vibration. Comes with a charging port and the instrument cluster is average. Comfortable seats and sitting posture are very good for long rides.3. Lights are very good. Still suggest adding extra lights for long rides at night. 4. Have the rack space for the top box. 5. Mileage is 35-40 depending upon how you throttle, and terrain. 6. Cooling system is absolutely spot on. No heat at all coming from the engine in your long rides. 7. Servicing cost is cheap and parts are generally available. Cons1. Horn is very bad2. Side Stand footing is small. Buy an extender. 3. Higher turning radius. 4. No RSA provided by Suzuki.

1. Suzuki doesn't promote this bike the way it should be. 2. No vibration at all. In highway 90-110 you can cruise with ease. No vibration was felt at my feet or hand during my Kolkata Sikkim Bhutan circuit. Am 5ft 11 and am comfortable with the seating posture.Pros 1. Can take to Leh, Sikkim with no problem. Ground clearance is very good. No issues with off-road. 2. No vibration. Comes with a charging port and the instrument cluster is average. Comfortable seats and sitting posture are very good for long rides.3. Lights are very good. Still suggest adding extra lights for long rides at night. 4. Have the rack space for the top box. 5. Mileage is 35-40 depending upon how you throttle, and terrain. 6. Cooling system is absolutely spot on. No heat at all coming from the engine in your long rides. 7. Servicing cost is cheap and parts are generally available. Cons1. Horn is very bad2. Side Stand footing is small. Buy an extender. 3. Higher turning radius. 4. No RSA provided by Suzuki.

Best in Adventure

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
2 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.

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.

Best bike in 250 cc segment
22 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.

Aravind
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.

Good riding experience

Kumar
The buying experience is good and the riding experience is also good.This is a good tourer machine with look and performance is also good service and maintenance are decent.All are the pros but only the price is not justified, The price is too high and the service network is very weak.Suzuki increased his service network and price is not an issue.

Buy this only if you want to have a feeling of horse ride

Surprised by the positive reviews I'm bikewale. Maybe everybody was out there to win the bumper prize for the positive reviews. Bought mine on June 23. Regrettably one of the worst investments in my life. Though the engine & gears are super smooth, the suspension is clearly HORRIBLE. You get to feel bumpy even on the smoothest of the roads which doesn't inspire conducted I'm me to ride faster. The constant jumpiness on minor potholes & bumps leaves me irritated, wondering when to finish off my emi & sell this trash off.
