Pls review fzs 25 for touring sarr

[@BhuvanX96]

Buddy, genuine and honest opinion on suzuki bike service.... I live in Bangalore and any suggestions which place has the best service centre?

[@perx098]

This is by far the most detailed review that I have seen of the vstrom sx. Audio and video is good, information about service as well. Not to mention it's in English!

[@Ankit-ri8sv]

Just test rode this bike today. I currently ride a Meteor 350. My initial impressions of the VX 250 are extremely positive. Very lightweight, flickable, eager engine performance but runs flat after a while. I am 5'7" and expected this bike to be difficult but was pleasantly surprised by the handling characteristics. Can't flat foot but still a very easygoing bike for cities.

[@runicrochers6548]

I am torn between the Meteor 350 and the VX 250, what are your thoughts between the two?

[@Ankit-ri8sv]

@@runicrochers6548 honestly, if you’re tall and into ADVs or that kind of riding stance, go for VX 250 otherwise the Meteor 350 is better. Suzuki is also lighter and better in the city but the Meteor is smoother, more stable and I love the cruiser riding position more.

[@kandalagagankumar1381]

How was the seat height was it manageable I'm 5'7

[@indiacha]

The console is so clear to see even in direct Sunlight. Great!

[@Oye_Arvin]

People crying about engine needs to understand All the companies do the same when they have a good engine Yezdi has the same engine in Adventurer, Scram & Maybe in Roadster.

[@arai6147]

The thing is that yezdi bikes all run close to each other even in different class of bikes so their engines are compatible for the different needs with a few tweaks. How u gonna use a high revving sporty engine in an adventure bike lol Suzuki has its actual cruiser lines in other markets like in jp and us, they are just milking the gixxer250 engine to the max

[@sri198507]

but tuned differently

[@niladril4orkt]

The service schedule is 6 months / 5k km . Suzuki spare & service charges are 1/3rd of that of RE & KTM And the Recommended oil with filter charge is < Rs 800 /- No where it is close to what you have mentioned.

[@sparklysparks77]

As a gs150r owner, I can relate to some enthusiasts' opinion on tank capacity; nonetheless, fuel economy should yield a good 320 Kms of non-stop riding, giving you stay within reasonable rpm range. Love the design and overall specs! My Suzuki gs150r can do 550 kms. between fuel stops, but I usually ride with only 10 liters as a full tank makes the motorcycle feel a bit heavy. My GS, by the way, is the special edition yellow bike and it looks like a younger sister of the Vstrom. Only 10 or 15 of these were sold in Mexico. But, guys, I feel tempted by the 167 Kgs dry weight and the spicy Gixxer 250 engine.

[@gamerxDNA]

Thanks Strell Bro ❤️ was eagerly waiting for your review 🤟

[@nashikkarbhushan]

Agree on "suspension works better with pillion"

[@sudeepmore1525]

Very nice review👌 I will buy the VStrom 250 SX if Suzuki increase the suspension travel, increase the tank capacity to 15 litres, slightly taller handlebars with a revised peg position for ease of riding when standing up on the pegs, also give switchtable ABS, a bit more low end torque, a stronger light and an extensive touring accessories catalogue.

[@sparklysparks77]

Hi strell. Great review. Do you think a beginner can handle this?

[@whatreally9]

Sorry but you have never shown any dissatisfaction on any bike, you like every bike, not a sign of a good reviewer. You should clearly suggest people against at least a few bike of the many that you review. To instill some level of confidence In your reviews. Maybe this is a good bike but in saying in general. The same happend with dinos vault, video after video of praise for bikes I got irritated. Please at some point just make a clear statement that "not worth it" or I wouldn't buy this with my money

[@kzxhor]

Please watch dinos vault benelli trk 251 video

[@whatreally9]

@@kzxhor right away I will

[@சதீஷ்கண்ணன்]

You are right actually! Dino bro is way much into only positive things and here you would see some downsides mentions here n there. Basically they borrow bikes from showrooms and do review, so they have to keep it in check. Autocar, Zigwheels and other auto journals may point out real downsides but you have to watch more videos before deciding which are real bothering downsides..

I have test ridden this and really liked it. Very nice seating posture n road presence along with smooth engine that pulls well. Is this bike still worth buying in 2024-25?

[@riderhunt]

If bought VStrom SX felt that if Rear Suspension would have been more on softer side it would have been great

[@mr_robot_tech]

You can tune rear suspension in vstrom 250 as per your requirement, its there.

[@bharathrajakv1162]

Actually a little stiff suspension is needed for improving handling at high speeds plus the suspension will get nicer over long time

I took the test drive of this bike yesterday and the on road price is 248000 in boisar Maharashtra In my test ride i felt handlebar should be more raised and the suspension could have been better but rest all was excellent the pickup the speed was great

[@ghettoboi27]

Hello fellow boisarkar

[@Mukul_Kishor_Saikia]

Hello Strell. My use of bike is mainly city use and a 200 KM highway ride twice in a month including some bad roads. I am planning for V Storm SX or Honda Highness. So, which one will be better, please?

[@dhanamass8071]

Suzuki v storm SX 250 the best option

[@helcurt2509]

bad roads = adv

[@Cla55icG00se]

Superb review video as always!! For 35K extra (will be more since on-road price is calculated by percentage) than a normal Gixxer, we get; 1 - Extra screwed in plastic for the front looks aka. VStrom 650 for the poor 2 - Mobile Charging Port 3 - Plastic Knuckle Guards 4 - Non adjustable clear Wind Deflector 5 - 10mm raised handle bar 6 - Bigger front tires. 7 - Real metal rack for top box. Is that all or am I missing something? No F***s were given for any of the rest. They just left them as is. I think except increasing ground clearance and tire size, rest all can be done to a normal gixxer for much less.

[@venukrithish007]

Yeah you covered it pretty much. It's a souped up Gixxer 250

[@whatreally9]

Tires can also be made offroad spec

[@whatreally9]

A dominar with a visor and offroad spec tires is more of an adv than this crap, dominar has 130mm front suspensions travel with inverted forks, I booked my ktm adv 250 getting it soon f**** suzuki

[@சதீஷ்கண்ணன்]

1. Got new instrument cluster 2. Dual purpose tyres 3. More ground clearance 4. It has new subframe and bit long swingarm so it has better pillion/luggage setup and 100mm more wheelbase for highway stability. All these changes cannot be justified for 35k but it is worth for 20-25k and more road presence of bike..

[@rambunctioussoul]

Adding more points, 8. Entirely new sub frame to carry load and to support wider rider and pillion seat 9. Entirely new swing arm which increases wheelbase by 10cm which is huge and greatly increases highspeed stability 10. The front is raked out i.e the mount point of front axle is different, this again is to support bigger 19" wheels and also improves stability for cruising 11. All new Much bigger disc brake compared to Gixxer 250, braking is much better So to sum up, you can never get these things done after market, this is not just a simple body work. It might have cost suzuki 20-25k more, 10k more is the margin. The price is justified IMO, go take a test ride and don't go by KZbin reviews, they will always be prejudiced

[@sanbecme]

You should mix your journey combined with smooth highways and roads with potholes.

[@sathyanarayanan9718]

I biought this machine. Mileage is so good. In highways i am getting 38 - 39 for the cruising speed between 90 to 110kmph. In city it really depends. If we shift gears properly with very minimal then we can get around 40 in moving traffic and 35+ in heavy traffic. We have to adapt to economy ride by looking instantaneous fuel economy indicator

[@AmAm-t1g]

Nice review.. between this bike and Gixxer 250 which one you prefer? And why?

[@donaldud-deen7604]

Hello mr strell. Im from Malaysia and still waiting for news for release. Before thinking to buy, i would like to know does this bike usable for 155cm person?

I think it’s for the dresses they wear in India. Keeps it away from wheel.

[@Diago2000]

​​@@jhackett9482That's right.. It's called a saree guard.. One of the more common outfits worn by Indian women (mostly elders) has a long drape worn over the shoulder.. When riding on a motorcycle as a pillion, there's always the danger of the drape getting entangled in the rear tyre.. The "saree guard" is legally mandatory on Indian motorcycles to prevent accidents due to the above concerns..

Form my test ride I found this is good touring bike 👍 rather than other touring bikes with covering all aspects (mileage, service cost , parts cost , long term reliability, brand ).......
