I don't know why every reviewer stresses more on off roading again and again in their videos. 5 to 10 % or utmost 20 % people go for hardcore offroading. Mainly people want to cruise long distances with a decent bike in all aspects, which i think this bike does very well. I personally took a test ride today its really very comfy and easy to manoeuvre in heavy city traffic and pickup,power is also decent. My frnd took his platina to ladakh in 2018 he didn't face a single prob throughout his entire journey. Lots of people take 100cc commuter bikes to ladakh every year so this bike can 1000 % do ladakh very easily. What this guy said abt ladakh for this bike is absolutly wrong.

Super review. Waiting for the comparo❤️

Getting this no doubt I have

I have seen guys riding RE Himalaya to step outside to smoke cigarettes wearing a chappal. Upon asking the guy told me that he never been able to travel outside Delhi because of work commitments. In that regards Suzuki vstorm 250 is excellent. I'm sure it will perform better than RE Himalaya in terms of servicing, reliability and mileage given its Japanese. Also it gives you tubelsless tires which is very important when you're on a highway at night.

Power(you can cruise at 120 to 130), mileage(35in city and 40+ on highway), comfort( you can ride all day without any pain and stress)No heating issues, service cost(1200 free service and below 2500 paid service), Then why it's over priced compared to 400cc bikes? It's giving all the required elements which can't be offered by 400 cc bikes. If it's over priced also we can recover through mileage and service cost. But trust me it's the best highway tourer for Indian road conditions.

Well done. Thanks for the insightful video.

Have a sf for 5 years and it's an amazing bike. Problem with Suzuki is they don't focus on confirt and quality of suspension and you won't get the suspension spares quickly. Most of their dealers will not have stock as there is too much of parts than required in their suspensions forks. Would recommend not to go with Suzuki unless you are convinced with rh suspension setup.

It's basically the two-wheeled version of the Vitara Brezza. Well done, Zuki.

Very nice review👌 I will buy the VStrom 250 SX if Suzuki increase the suspension travel, increase the tank capacity to 15 litres, slightly taller handlebars with a revised peg position for ease of riding when standing up on the pegs, also give switchtable ABS, a bit more low end torque and a stronger light.

Petrol tank capacity and a normal from suspension travel is downer , rest everything is good.

But if you ride motorcycles just to enjoy riding, you will see some sense in the idea of feel and emotion. Riding is a visceral experience so how a bike feels to ride matters immensely. For example, I always enjoy riding my friends' Interceptors more than my own BS4 390 Duke. Why? Because the Interceptor 650 'feels' better. The BS4 390 Duke on the other hand feels boring. The old BS3 390 felt the best and I would rate it higher because of how it 'feels' to ride despite the numerous improvements in the BS4 version.

If this was available in the US, I'd buy two of them -- one for me, one for the wife. I'd like a small adventure bike as the counterpart to my SV650, and the Versys X 300 is the only option and kind of expensive. Same is true for the 310GS and the KTM 390ADV. I guess Suzuki just doesn't want to be in the small bike market in the US..... the TU250X was a nice option but not sold here anymore. If they had a Scrambler version of the TU it probably would have done well. What I'd like to see Suzuki do is put out a Scrambler with around 400cc that looks like the Ducati Scrambler - undercut them like they did with the SV650.
