सुज़ुकी वी-स्ट्रॉम एसएक्स 250

You will hate it, till you get settled with it. Be it hard suspension, nagging gear or poor service from dealer. Once u clock 3k or 4k kms, then it's a music. Suspension is set, clutch and gear are smooth, Engine is as calm as a flute, provided you give the service outside. I took the risk of skipping free service bcoz the service centres charge you for not doing anything. Covered 10k kms in 5 months. Two trips to wayanad and two trips to banglore from Chennai. Comfortably cruise between 100 and 110 kmph. Breakes are not great but ok. Can drive comfortably for even 10 hours. No strain in engine or on your back. Even at 100km plus km speed, it gives an average mileage of 35kmpl. Handle bar riser and windshield extension is a must for comfortable riding. Overall a great bike in this segment.

I ride this strom in mountain terrains oh man what a bike he climb like a champ. Himalayan 450 is my first bike the major problem is it's have noises in the engine after 300km i show this to showroom they said it's a common issue. But the engine sound is annoying and another problem is oil leakage what the hell going to my new Himalayan. Himalayan is not good offroad i for sure there is no doubt you feel rough on offroad no smoothness. Then i decided to resale and then buy suzuki v strom no words it's a offroad champion no oil leakage, no annoying sounds, it's smooth on offroad we can't feel you're going on off road the suspension is so smooth.
