Suzuki V-Strom SX Price in Murdeshwar

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

I decided to bring this V storm home after checking 8 bikes
My idea was clean and straightforward I wanted an adventure touring bike I do 95% of highway touring only 5% off-road here and there some city roads are also off-road anyways
So the 250cc engine is a sweet spot you get both mileage and power I'm getting 40 kmpl on highways and between 34-36 in the city,
The detailing and shape geometry used in this bike is solid 5/5,
Performance is mind-blowing picks up with full power on acceleration,
Even after driving for straight 5 hours, I felt no pain in the back
The sitting poster is comfortable for long rides, and the service cost is also not pricey but indicators are not up to date (still you can upgrade for LED aftermarket)
And instrument cluster is not colourful
Overall I'm Happy Riding my Boy
I give 4.8/5 for this bike
Buy it! 😁

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
