Suzuki V-Strom SX STD

Excellent bike to buy for travelling long distance, best milage and very comfortable seats to o seat on . I have a best good experience with this while traveling indian tarrain and bumpy roads . Excellent bike in this price range . It has very good sporty look and premium features. Best bike for travelling in india . If you looking for bike for travelling I recommend it very badly buy it.

Little bit less on features but comfort is next level. Full led display would have been a better option and spoked wheels option should be available

After test riding few competitors( old Himalayan , ktm adv 250, yezdi adventurer and vstrom 250) I decided to go with suzuki, don’t know what made me feel this was the bike for me but something clicked. The deal was also very good at the time free insurance, free riding jacket and first free service (including engine oil and oil filter). Later I spoke with other friends that bout KTM, the maintenance cost is almost 3 times ehat I pay and the milage is also better although it lacks some feature other bikes have but personally I do not need them. On highways this bike shines, it sticks to the road like glue even at higher speeds and handles like dream. The wider handle bar and upright position makes it a very good tourer. I never felt tired ever after riding for 7-8 hours straight ,with little to no breaks, multiple times but due to stiff suspensions it’s not very off road capable as himalyan or xpulse. The only thing I think Suzuki should improve is bot more suspension travel and button for disabling ABS for rear.

The V-Strom SX is the second motorcycle that has crossed 10,000km during my long-term use. The first one was the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, and it took me almost a year with this cruiser. But the V-Strom SX has taken less than six months. Now to give you a perspective, I have commuted on it. My one-day commute is 130km roundtrip, which involves peak-hour traffic.

After making our way through the busy streets of Madurai, we got onto national highway 85, which would lead to Munnar in Kerala. With 170 kilometres to go and the sun setting quickly, the decision was to try and cover as much distance as possible before darkness took over. The V-Strom SX was up for the challenge, as it performed splendidly. The credit for that goes to the 249cc mill that’s lifted from the Gixxer 250. It is a gem of a motor, butter smooth and with a very rev-happy nature. The slick 6-speed gearbox delivered seamless shifts with unerring consistency, and it was so good that it was easy to perform clutchless shifts by simply blipping the throttle and upshifting.with ample riding time on terrain that was best suited for the V-Strom SX.
