                  • Razor-sharp handling like a proper sport bike
                  • VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) makes the engine very tractable at city speeds

                  Suzuki V-Strom SX

                  • Gets a comfortable seating position

                  • Headlight spread is a bit narrow
                  • Not the most comfortable for pillion riders
                  • The R15M top variant is quite expensive; costs almost the same as some 400cc bikes

                  Suzuki V-Strom SX

                  • Gets no additional suspension travel than its faired sibling-the Gixxer 250

                  • The windscreen is useless above 100kmph

                  Neat condition bike with awesome road presence
                  This bike is very good while daily riding is the main factor as the mileage is very good like 43 kmpl in city traffic and the maintenance cost is very low if you ride the bike properly. Also the road presence particularly of this edition is great. If you wish to look good while getting an optimum performance then you can definitely go for it. In my case this bike is in neat condition without any damages or missing parts. All the services done on time and so the warranty is valid.

                  vstrom=Overall package
                  At the time of purchasing i was confused between nx200 and this, but after taking test drive of both, i decided to go on with vstrom. I will recommend this bike to riders who prefers reliability over tech. Vstrom will give you performance+good comfort+less maintenance+attention. Today after 5000+ kms, i'm very much satisfied for purchase. Pros- looks so good- big bike like presence, less maintenance, good suspension not the best but good suspension, less vibrations, good ground clearance. If you like tech in bikes you will miss it in this, you will get bluetooth and turn by turn navi in this one, cons- suspension is somewhat stiff as for longer travels, headlight is not so good, you will need extra lights and others still finding out.

                  Value for Money
                  Perfect combination for both city and adventure touring with comfort ride, mileage efficiency and within budget. Even it has cons too. Cons: minimal features (required features only, no fancy). Overall its value for money and if someone looking for adventure bike with good mileage, easy commute in city.

                  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.
