Suzuki V-Strom SX Price in Manjeri

The bike is super smooth. Coming from a re classic , vstorm for me screams quality and reliability. After having a most un_reliable re bike for 8 years. I felt I should switch to Japanese bike for peace of mind. Loving it now.
I usually use it for touring and daily office commuting. It's as comfortable as re classic. Since I'm tall 6.1 I don't have any issue with height.

About the Reviewer

1. Buying experience : First of all I would explain why to buy this machine.
It's a combination of touring and adventure, buying an adventure with 249cc, 36 kmpl and 12 liters what else is required
2. Riding Experience: it's comfortable to ride, sitting position is excellent easily long ride can be done. It gives a feel of Trump tiger 600. If your bike enthusiast or a adventurer then go for it

About the Reviewer

Bought this machine on 21st June 2022. On-road price was around 276k (kerala). It took around 14 days to deliver the bike after booking. I had some other options in a similar price range. But when I took the test ride.. Oh, man. It rode straight to my heart.
It gives you a very relaxed and upright riding posture. Foot pegs are placed a little backward which is cool. Super wide seats and it is on a softer side (not too soft but it never lacks comfort) . Felt very light once it starts to roll. The engine is very much refined and gear shifts are precise. You don't feel any vibrations even at higher speeds. The power delivery is linear, unlike the ktms. But it doesn't mean that you will miss the fun factor. You can cruise at 120s effortlessly. The initial pick-up is impressive. For 0-100 it will take below 10 sec. It is easy to ride a bike in cities and highways. (i haven't checked the offloading capabilities.) suspension is neither too hard nor too soft. Potholes/cracked or humpy bumpy roads are peanuts for this. Very easy to maneuver. It gives enough confidence in cornering as well. All-day touring is just a piece of cake. Braking efficiency is pretty decent. The seat height may raise an issue for some as I am 5'10 and I don't get a well-planted foot.
I have done my first service @ 900 km and it cost me around 1200 rs. I waited for around 5 hrs to get the job done and it was a wee bit irritating.
Coming the cons which I noticed are
1. Illumination could have been better
2. You will have to check the chain tightness after every 300 kms
3. Crash guards are not available
4. The wind visor is not adjustable and the wind blast hits right on your face at higher speeds.
