Suzuki V-Strom SX Price in Cooch Behar

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.

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.

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.

Cons
1. Horn is very bad
