                  My riding experience
                  The biggest reason is its appearance. The floating single seat, wide rear tyre and minimalist design made it stand out. I loved the custom bike look straight from the factory. That made me choose this bike. As a solo rider, I find the seat comfortable for daily commute and short to medium highway trips although the suspension is a bit firm on rough roads. As for mileage, it is around 25 to 30 kmpl in normal riding. A solo rider would love this bike for various purposes such as everyday use or short commute or even long road trips in various terrain. The fuel to kilometre capacity is not a problem for me. Considering the current petrol crisis in India, this bike is quite manageable.

                  The guy who loves solo traveling
                  My friend had this bike first so I tried it for few long trips and I fell in love with the performance and smoothness of this beauty. Its fuel cost is more but manageable. I usually prefer performance. Looks are also good. For comfort, its good but its better for solo travelling. I travel solo pretty often, so its a best choice for me. It performs well in hilly area which was truly unexpected for me. Sometimes, its just the heat problem, my leg got burned while riding, so better be careful about it. Well, if you prefer solo travelling or like normal travel then go for it. Its better for people who can handle heavier bikes and have experience. If you can manage the fuel costs in today's economy then go for it.

                  Performance and adventure
                  I like to do adventure off roading that's why I chose this bike. Unexpectedly its more then my expectations, so recommend this bike to whom loves to explore mountains, off beat places, adventure, they can go for this bike. On highway, it gives good mileage and on mountain, it gives best performance. My experience with this bike is very good. Seat comfort is amazing. I used to get back pain in other bike but this one is more comfortable. Mileage and tyre grip on highway is good also on off roading grip is good. If you like adventure or off roading then go for it. It has comfortable seat, Abs breaking system. On mountain, off beat, it gives you best performance. Last year, I take this bike on ladakh trip and its worth it.

                  Meaningful touring bike
                  For bike performance, like engine, comfort, reliability, smooth ride. Availability, It is a great bike to compete with peer bikes. Actually, It is under rated. Overall it is in good package with great price tag. Mileage was also as per my requirement. Pros- bike handling is superb. Engine performance is awesome and AVG is great. Comfortable on good roads. Cons- rear suspension could have been better or softer. Headlight through is not at all good need aux lamp. Horn is like scooty. Daily or occasional touring or commuter, looking for fine engine with great average, at very affordable price. Looking for reliable engine from reliable brand with great network of service centre hassle free bike to enjoy long riding.

                  Jack of all trades
                  This bike is a jack of all trades. Reliable, decent power, great handling, economical to maintain. Amazing looks. Nimble in traffic. Just point and shoot. Amazing liquid cool technology. Never you shall face any overheating issue. I have driven my vstorm 250 for close to 25000 kms. Both city and highway, even taken it to Ran of Kutch also to the mountains and regular trips to Rajasthan. The bike is a mile muncher. Upright sitting posture shall keep motivating u to push for more. Stiff suspension gives u great confidence on corners. However slightly to stiff for potholes. Yes it bike you could consider as it ticked all the right boxes for me. However I would personally suggest to take a test drive of all the bikes in the same segment and have open perspective you will definitely shall be inclined to opt for the vstorm because of its versatility and looks.

                  Perfect bike
                  great machine for long drives and city ride, decent mileage and ultimate riding comfort. Good power, excellent riding posture. Good weight balance, Brake bite could have been more effective. Built quality not upto the mark but decent, service is not up to the mark, suzuki should work on its service quality.
