Reviews of Suzuki V-Strom SX

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

About the Reviewer

I bought the bike immediately after it gets launched. The buying experience was amazing the S. P. Suzuki Kandivali dealership had a superb salesman.
Riding this bike in the city or highway is amazing its light, fast, stable, and wonderful seat.
The yellow colour is vibrant and different and its stands out in the crowd. The bike looks awesome.
This bike is good for all kinds of roads. On highways 100 / 120 km/hr is smooth. You can ride for hours on this bike without any problems.
The service experience is not that good for me had some paint-related issues but all got resolved by Suzuki.
Pros
Lightweight
Great seats
Good breaks
Handling is good
Good mileage
Good pickup
No vibration
Refined engine
Stable at top speeds
Cons
The front suspension travel is just 120 mm which is less I think and it's stiff.
The silencer design could be better.

About the Reviewer

the engine is super smooth. I got 40 km on the highway.
The low-end torque is fabulous. easy to handle
best for touring. suspension is not up to the mark
It is far better than Himalayan It has the best Suzuki oil cooling technology, and engine cooling is not a problem
The ergonomics of the bike are good. The digital instrument cluster and Bluetooth connectivity help the rider.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience okay.
Engine is good and very soft tuned, riding is not a problem for taller guys (>5.9")
Looks very big and height, can be used for daily commuting as well as touring, for adventure like things this is not best bike since suspension is not upto the mark
Pros : good engine, easy to handle in traffic, good torque, riding on this 250 machine is joy, riding angle also good.
Cons : bit costly, suspension and brakes could have been better.

About the Reviewer

Suzuki will hit higher sales this year from this bike, eagerly waiting to buy this year-end, suzuki is always good in reliability and engine refinement and high range of fuel economy, one can easily trust suzuki engine and go for it when it's compared to bajaj or ktm engines which have most serious issues of engine head knocking even 2 of my friends faced the issue when it comes engine tech no one can beat suzuki and honda.

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

As far as the reviews and myself owning a couple of adv bikes, this engine is punchy, well low and mid-range power as it directly derived from the gixxer 250 which can clock a top speed of 150(may differ on body weight of rider) could have given spoke wheels and the front fork to be at least 2-3 inches taller, and the fuel capacity to a 15l, but never the less, still a good motorcycle, as mine was the first booking in karnataka.

About the Reviewer

1. Very good bike for every type of adventure experience with best buying experience.
2. Very good mileage
3. Perfect for long tour with the pillion.
4. So smooth on roads and engine does not heat much as compared to the other bikes of the segment.
5. Eye catchy bike design and always a head turner.
