- vstrom=Overall packageAt 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.Read More
- Better than it's competitorsBest 250 segment bike. Ovearall experience with this bike is good. Bike's pick up is great. Looks are fabulous, everything is good apart from hero service. Hero service is not top notch as compared to other companies. Apart from these, everything is good in this bike. Gives good mileage and comfort. Back seat can be more comfortable.Read More
- Excellent bike for daily commutingBest value for money bike with comfortable ride and smooth performance. It offers excellent mileage, a stylish design and is more affordable then other bike in same category making a great choice for daily commuting. The ride has been smooth and enjoyable so far. Bike offers great comfort, responsive handling. Impressive pickup and decent mileage. It's stable at high speed and perfect for daily rides and weekend trips. Yes definitely, I would recommended the Suzuki Gixxer for its comfortable ride, smooth handling, reliable performance and good mileage. It is an excellent bike and value for money in its segment. I am owner of 2 Suzuki bikes.Read More
- I’m loving itBajaj Pulsar RS200 is a great bike if you are looking for thrill and throttle. The performance is really good but the comfort is compromised due to the obvious nature of the bike. Stylish look and modern design makes the bike look adorable. I trust Bajaj and their Pulsar RS 200 also because the bike is fairly priced at around 1.7 lac.Read More
- The awesome bikeMy gixxer was a BS4 version. But I can say that suzuki makes not one of the best, THE BEST engines. I bought it in 2018 and no body sounds found till date. Very minimum maintenance needed. I just change the oil and oil filter in 4-5 months and wash it. The mileage is around 50 and it's a good mileage. Breaking is just awesome. Never failed to stop in time. I love it like my darling. But I don't like the new headlight design. If you like LED headlights then it's a plus for you. One minor con is that the backseat is higher like a sporty bike. Other than that the bike gives you everything you need in this price segment.Read More
