                Pros & Cons

                • Pros
                • Cons

                • Royal Enfield Himalayan

                  • Motor has (nearly) retained its output and feels just as quick, despite meeting BS6.
                  • Certain components look and feel more rugged and premium.
                  • Truckloads of suspension travel and ground clearance, as always.
                  • Affordable price point for an adventure bike

                  Suzuki V-Strom SX

                  • Has a smooth and refined engine
                  • Gets a comfortable seating position
                  • Has a very aggressive design with clean and sharp bodylines

                • Royal Enfield Himalayan

                  • Vibrations at high speeds
                  • An already heavy motorcycle has become even heavier.
                  • Updates are milder than some would’ve hoped for.
                  • The front screen has significant optical distortion, and can cause buffeting.

                  Suzuki V-Strom SX

                  • Gets no additional suspension travel than its faired sibling-the Gixxer 250
                  • Tall seat height of 835mm
                  • The windscreen is useless above 100kmph

                  always wanted to buy this bike, chose this bike for its comfort, riding posture, and ability to handle on bad roads. the suspension, ground clearance and high cc engine made it a sensible all round choices the ride has been smooth and confidence, specially on bad roads. stable on highways. the suspension absorbs bumps very well, making long rides smooth and easy to reach. overall the riding experience is so good specially in long rides. yes, i would recommend this bike for those who looking budget friendly, comfort, stability and touring perspective. its made for long rides, poor road conditions and for relaxed riding. perfect for adventure styles.

                  My review based on my experience.
                  Very well designed bike, low maintenance cost, best bike to have in this segment. Best for city travels and on adventure trips as well. Maintenance cost is very low, mileage is quite good, running is superb. This motorcycle owns its name and legacy of Royal Enfield and it’s not available to buy it new.

                  I buy this beast in 2022. Driven 23000 km so far. It gives thrill performance on highways .good for touring. For a 5.8 person it feels tall.which gives amazing looks. Talking about mileage it gives 30kmpl on highways and 27kmpl in city. I have used this bike for daily commute as well as long rides. Feels amazing and comfortable.

                  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.
