[@shashankashwin]

A lot of problems described is the result of platform sharing. Sub 500 category mein it's expected. But At least Suzuki keeps quality of parts pretty high compared to others.

[@shashankashwin]

As always, honest review. Keep up the good work in the coming year. Godspeed.. .

[@ajeetkumar7425]

Let us look back at the year 2022 with the warmest of memories. Happy New Year 2023

[@FalconRiders]

same to you dear

[@vineethprabhu9160]

Wish You a very Happy New Year! I do agree with your comments about the hazard light (went with after market solution), and rear view mirror. I think the rear view mirror problem can become more acute based on the helmet as well. I was considering a parabolic rear view mirror but that will compete with gps mount for real estate on the windshield. Turning radius is a problem in mall parking lots. Just having to live with it as there are other design aspects which limit this. Couple of other things which I would have liked - windshield options for taller riders, centre stand. Lubricating chain on side stand with roller is not much fun.

[@FalconRiders]

thanks for your inputs

[@rajadebnath734]

Thanks for the review, experience is same here. Happy New year 🎊

[@FalconRiders]

[@md.farooqpeerzade2717]

VSTROM 250 SX, is one of the bike in my list I'm looking forward to buy in 2023....but my budget is tight & I'm waiting for the upcoming Bajaj Triumph Scrambler & Yamaha XSR 155....... .. XSR 155 fits in my budget, but launching in India is not confirmed & Bajaj Triumph Scrambler is out of budget for sure, & the VSTROM 250 SX is in the middle between these 2 ........... My budget is 2.25 Lakh on road (Karnataka).......priorities are for daily commute & month end small trips..................

[@NikhilKumarM]

Xpulse best. Use remaining money to buy riding gears and accessories. I'm in karnataka too. V strom on road is 2 52 in bangalore now after the discount. Discount valid till month end.

[@44kyu]

​@@NikhilKumarMxpulse is a good 1. The only I like from Hero..baki all no no.

[@snbiswal4599]

You are the most genuine youtuber

[@FalconRiders]

thank you !!

[@akibjaved]

thanks for your honest review, but I want to ask a question, while reviewing this bike everyone talks about its front suspension travel, So i wanted to ask, did you felt it's less ?

[@FalconRiders]

upcoming video soon

[@HELMETDUDE]

nicely put points, i have clocked 7000+ kms on this bike and yes i agree, cost cutting toh hai from suzuki, whether you see tail light, mirrors, exhaust, absence of hazard light switch etc but when you see the whole package, new things as a overall product, its allright. Not much of a deal breaker. . . this bike is definitely not premium from the suzuki but yet its special, and why would i will not say it, because i own one haha.

[@RaJ-qo9pj]

is it worth purchasing? plz let me knw

[@rajathegreat7815]

how’s the after sales service bro? Many saying that there is spare part unavailability

[@neelkirans]

use quick shifter kehte hai na? shift assist, slipper clutch to wo hota hai jo gear high speed me down karne ke baad bhi rear wheel lock nahi hone deta.

[@ajeetkumar7425]

Happy New Year Bro....

[@FalconRiders]

Happy new year

[@BlackMambo5]

100% Agreed about tail light and exhaust points. I bought the bike last 2 weeks back, but I also feel exhaust at least should've been better considering it's ground clearance and other light adventure-like features. Though about a feet of water won't enter, but anything higher than that will go in, thereby reducing actual adventure capabilities. Of course no issue on highway etc. but still they are marketing it as an adventure bike. KTM Adv 250, Himalayan and Yezdi Adv all of which are competing with this bike have better exhausts at least, even Hero XPulse has a better looking and heighted exhaust. So this is a missed opportunity I hope Suzuki can fix in later revisions of this bike. Overall I'm happy with it.

[@FalconRiders]

thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Happy new year ...

[@FalconRiders]

Same to you

[@vilaskulkarni3147]

Happy New year bhai. Happy riding👍 Liked the short & sweet edition of today! In the last review of the bike, I asker you whether you have ridden the bike with home minister and luggage @100 or more, a bit consistently, on some considerable distance? Let you try it once and let us know the performance! To me, this is the minimum criteria of a bike to be fitting the requirement of a "useful" ADV. Try once! 😊

[@FalconRiders]

Will try.. thanks

[@shergilldeep6796]

[@jayapreethvasisthamj5970]

Thanks for the video. Couple of queries. 1. How is the pillion comfort on this bike, for both City rides as well as long touring (Say 2K km or may be more). 2. How value for money is this vehicle when it comes to maintenance: In terms frequency, costs, spares?

[@FalconRiders]

its good value of money I feel but everyone has there own ways of thoughts.... pillion comfort is fine

[@joravarsingh3372]

Sir. I watched your vedio 1st time and it's wonderful vedio. Sir I have a query to choose in b/w three bikes for regular commuting and occasionally for long rides. Which one to choose on the basis of mentioned aspacts (ride with pillion, with good comfortable riding, crusing on 100 kmph atleast, after market saddle bag availability ) ? Options are :- 1. FZ 250 2. Dominar 250 3. V Strom 250. Your suggestion is valuable for me. Thanks

[@FalconRiders]

Which one you like in above the most

[@joravarsingh3372]

Left side pulling issue hai kya ismein??

[@TripGuru]

Is the suspension better than Himalayan ??

[@FalconRiders]

depends what condition of surface and ride style

[@riteshlute2028]

Please explain about the breaks. How is the breaking?

[@petutherefillstation1756]

I was just about to purchase v strom when someone suggested me that sales figures of this bike aren't impressive,so there is a chance that company might discontinue this bike and owners would face problems in terms of after sales services and parts... What's your take on this ??

[@mallikarjunpasunkili5206]

Not true, The bike is selling well here in India. Its been only 6 months of VStrom launch, 1st month it did close to 2000, from then on its in between 300 to 400 units which is decent for a new bike. I own the bike, The dealer told he was happy that the bike is already gaining traction, when I recently went to collect my free jacket. VStrom SX is also in high demand in Japan and Australia and the exports are about to start. It is already receiving rave reviews overseas. So this will not be discontinued for atleast 10 years IMO. Remember, for some reason, Suzuki exports more motorcycles than selling here, for eg last month gixxers sold only 200 ish but exports were 8500+. Not sure if it's due to limited capacity, but it has been this way from 2020.

[@FalconRiders]

there is not much difference in this model and other models of 250cc suzuki bike.... but who can comment on future

[@fit.rider.j]

Which is good bmw gs 310 or Suzuki v strom 250 adv bike?

[@tharun479]

PS: 1) Can rename the video as "what could be better" instead of"problems" 2) Main feature to stand out as an adventure.. that is switchable ABS 3) handle bar should be raised a bit for more comfortable ride position and better handling at standing position 4) exhaust: Suzuki could have been given a staight pipe single exhaust like other competitors ...that would have made this better If Suzuki can make these in updates,no doubt v-strom would be absolute competitor in the segment

[@FalconRiders]

thanks for your opinion !

[@Moha123914]

Please compare with CB300 F VS GIXXER 25O N V STROM 250

[@r-pitrj-poot5681]

Sir which one to buy 250 adv or vstorm?

[@ashpal1484]

Bhai, does front or rear suspension bottom out on bad roads with potholes. Planning to buy this bike. Would really appreciate your input.

[@FalconRiders]

I hope you seen my ultimateUpNorth Series... No issues for me .. bottom out also depends on how you enter the bad spot... and this is not pure off roading bike ..

[@vijaypawar-dj9qq]

sir how is traction control system in this bike.

[@FalconRiders]

there is no traction control

[@vijaypawar-dj9qq]

@@FalconRiders thanks

[@kumaril05]

2 inch more Suspension travel in the Front & a slim & high exhaust pipe in the rear, only 2 things needed to improve this bike, but this is what happens when Corporate Accountants do Product Design

[@FalconRiders]

its not that simple dear India two things generally take priority : Kitna deti hai " or "Kitne Ki hai " .. to keep cost effective they have to keep parts common as much as they can... But I agree with you that few things would have made it better but that never ends .. it ends for some but start for someone else....

[@kumaril05]

@@FalconRiders yes offcourse, its quite adequate as it is but you know how people are not interested in the experience & feel of the bikes but rather spec sheet champions these days, they think long travel suspension means motocross riding, little that they know half of the parts will fall off if its not a proper dirt bike

[@avikdutta637]

Bhiya Sikkim series lao v Strom pe

[@yu5554]

Tail lamp and exhaust was on dot!!

[@sohammhatre]

None being a deal breaker but what do you make of its tank size? Being a tourer 12L feels a bit less, no?

[@FalconRiders]

It's not about liter it's about range... It's good I feel.

[@bharathraoi5722]

I want to mention here about suspension travel, which h is 120MM in front and even lesser in rear. Why should anyone consider this as proper ADV? I don't understand. 😬😕🤷‍♂️🤔

[@FalconRiders]

Adventure and off road are two different aspect

[@FalconRiders]

And it's not pure adv for sure..

is it risky to have alloy wheels instead of fork wheels??

Actually I am facing stability issues at my V strom sx250 with recommend air pressure(u feel like lack of tire _ road contact)in corners around 50 to 60kmph as well as the straight lines around 100kmph 😔 please suggest me repair solution or is it common on that speeds 🤔

[@FalconRiders]

do check if there is some issue with tire... some defect... or too much air ... as nothing I feel like that

[@thisisganesh]

heard many gixxer 250 have faced head leakage problem after 5k km is it hapenning to you as well due to same engine?
