                  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.
