  • The best touring monster

    2 years ago


    Prakash M

    The best touring monster, I feel very very comfortable while I'm riding it too long drives, it's getting all people's attention on the roads I feel like ok I'm not wasting money, not boring while riding too long every gear shifting is very surprised I'm impressed
    Cons
    No hazard lights
    No liquid cooling system
    Engine very noisy
    Ladies foot rest missing
    Center stand missing
    Because it's a too high price to compare other bikes. Other brands give all features at low cost...

    I got delivery within two days. Daily 30 km I use to ride.
    The bike is too smooth and 100% preferable for a long ride.
    Need some eye on the back side design.
    Cons: a headlight is not that effective on highways.
    if the abs switching option is there it means off-roading will be a little bit smoother.

    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! 😁

  • Best in Adventure

    35 weeks ago


    Subhendu Saha Sardar

    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.

  • My 1st BigBike is a Suzuki

    14 weeks ago


    Gokuldb

    One of the best decisions I took just with my friend's word, seriously. The only con is that you'll tend to draw too much attention. So you better dress and ride properly. Rediscover the sheer pleasure of riding. It is quite big and yet under your full control. ZERO vibration, even @ 100! So responsive that it makes you feel like it listens not cos you are the Boss, but cos it Respects the Rider!

  • Strom is Storm in Quarter lit.

    1 year ago


    Shubham Ameta

    The buying experience was decent. Although, the showroom didn't give me a good deal and hadn't completed the promises still I was in love with the bike so I purchased it from them anyway. Riding experience is the ultimate to date. I have ridden 1700km and done my first service. I am getting good mileage, did an 800 km return trip with luggage and it was a comfortable ride both for rider and the pillion. Looks are awesome. Many eyes turn around when the bike passes or in a parking lot. It gives a big bike feel. Servicing is an area that is debatable. I did my first service but I think Suzuki's service centers need improvements. I have read reviews about Suzuki's service centers and I felt those are pretty true. However, the dealer is renowned and premium in my city so their customer service is good and responsive. Handling ( except left-hand side pulling, which has a solution but my service center does not know). Mileage, Seat comfort, and Headlight (compared to others in the segment) look very good. No heating issue. Maintenance cost. Need more initial torq. Side mirrors. The visor is a bit small. The exhaust note and its position bit awkward. The horn is loud but very scootish sound. The headlight throw is a bit awkward. The hazard light is missing. It should be included as it is a touring machine. After-sales service.

  • V strom sx 250

    21 weeks ago


    Musshraf Ali

    The bike is so Amazing, It's been a month since I bought it, The bike's comfort is superb, and the power of the bike is amazing it will never let you feel underpowered.
    And the best part is its road presence this v strom 250 sx is a head turner.
    But there are some cons also to this bike first one is the engine heating issue, sometimes I feel the heat on my right leg.
    2nd con is sometimes I get a burning smell from the engine.
    and the service experience is very horrible.
    But the bike is amazing you will have fun with it.

  • Amazing baby storm.

    1 year ago


    Rajesh

    I went for a gixxer 250 and bought this the moment I saw it.
    1. Excellent smooth engine with mileage ranging from 33-52kmpl.
    2. Effortless cruise capability at 100-115 mph for extended hours.
    3. No heating issues and performance drop after long runs.
    4. Very reasonable service cost.
    5. Acceleration is not frightening but enough to take most bikes in the category.
    6. Bit tall for me and not clickable. Being a short rider it makes me sweat in city riding but I am getting along with that. On the highway, I can travel 300 km straight and go for work without any fatigue.
    7. A no-regret bike to own.

    I got delivery within two days. Daily 30 km I use to ride.
    The bike is too smooth and 100% preferable for a long ride.
    Need some eye on the back side design.
    Cons: a headlight is not that effective on highways.
    if the abs switching option is there it means off-roading will be a little bit smoother.

    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! 😁

    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.

    One of the best decisions I took just with my friend's word, seriously. The only con is that you'll tend to draw too much attention. So you better dress and ride properly. Rediscover the sheer pleasure of riding. It is quite big and yet under your full control. ZERO vibration, even @ 100! So responsive that it makes you feel like it listens not cos you are the Boss, but cos it Respects the Rider!

    Shubham Ameta

    The buying experience was decent. Although, the showroom didn't give me a good deal and hadn't completed the promises still I was in love with the bike so I purchased it from them anyway. Riding experience is the ultimate to date. I have ridden 1700km and done my first service. I am getting good mileage, did an 800 km return trip with luggage and it was a comfortable ride both for rider and the pillion. Looks are awesome. Many eyes turn around when the bike passes or in a parking lot. It gives a big bike feel. Servicing is an area that is debatable. I did my first service but I think Suzuki's service centers need improvements. I have read reviews about Suzuki's service centers and I felt those are pretty true. However, the dealer is renowned and premium in my city so their customer service is good and responsive. Handling ( except left-hand side pulling, which has a solution but my service center does not know). Mileage, Seat comfort, and Headlight (compared to others in the segment) look very good. No heating issue. Maintenance cost. Need more initial torq. Side mirrors. The visor is a bit small. The exhaust note and its position bit awkward. The horn is loud but very scootish sound. The headlight throw is a bit awkward. The hazard light is missing. It should be included as it is a touring machine. After-sales service.

  • V strom sx 250

    21 weeks ago


    Musshraf Ali

    The bike is so Amazing, It's been a month since I bought it, The bike's comfort is superb, and the power of the bike is amazing it will never let you feel underpowered.
    And the best part is its road presence this v strom 250 sx is a head turner.
    But there are some cons also to this bike first one is the engine heating issue, sometimes I feel the heat on my right leg.
    2nd con is sometimes I get a burning smell from the engine.
    and the service experience is very horrible.
    But the bike is amazing you will have fun with it.

  • Amazing baby storm.

    1 year ago


    Rajesh

    I went for a gixxer 250 and bought this the moment I saw it.
    1. Excellent smooth engine with mileage ranging from 33-52kmpl.
    2. Effortless cruise capability at 100-115 mph for extended hours.
    3. No heating issues and performance drop after long runs.
    4. Very reasonable service cost.
    5. Acceleration is not frightening but enough to take most bikes in the category.
    6. Bit tall for me and not clickable. Being a short rider it makes me sweat in city riding but I am getting along with that. On the highway, I can travel 300 km straight and go for work without any fatigue.
    7. A no-regret bike to own.

  • The best touring monster

    2 years ago


    Prakash M

    The best touring monster, I feel very very comfortable while I'm riding it too long drives, it's getting all people's attention on the roads I feel like ok I'm not wasting money, not boring while riding too long every gear shifting is very surprised I'm impressed
    Cons
    No hazard lights
    No liquid cooling system
    Engine very noisy
    Ladies foot rest missing
    Center stand missing
    Because it's a too high price to compare other bikes. Other brands give all features at low cost...
