They are a sweet bike a very smooth power plant, I have the Gixxer 250 which is what they based this V strom 250 on very tempted buy one of these as well for my off roading adventures.
It's a great bike. Proud owner of a yellow one here in Brizzy. I've mounted protection bars and looking forward to a couple of local off-road o/night trips before years end.
@@chrispekel5709 Not yet Chris - still working on getting my setup for o/nighters - accessories are not so available here in Oz. The holidays, excessive rain and back to work (you know life? 😉) have slowed things down somewhat. I'll let you know when I do! 😬
Got one down in the south island great little bike i got the yellow one looks great 👍🏻 about 12 thousand kms on it better than walking 🚶♂️ lol 😆 Cheers
Lol, VStrom SX is winning trophies in off road events in Columbia and other markets. Even motocross riders overseas are praising the bike as it is a lightweight ADV and feels like a dirt bike The bike is off road capable, only the Indian reviewers are not capable to take it off road and the general public here is gullible
@@villan0379 Thank you for telling this loud and clear. Indian media is about money and paid promotions, very limited auto journalists speak truth on screen. V-Strom250 is a bike never to be judged by the spec sheet.
Good video. Nice looking bike. 250cc bikes have come a long way.

Have you had it on the freeway for any decent period of time?

Awesome. Getting one for my first bike, but in the yellow 👍.
Good choice!
cheap, easy to maintenance, good for semi of road, it's not the best or have fancy feature but relayabel
best value & good all arounder 👍
We agree!
No, you cant adjust the windscreen. Great video 👍
Your right….

Stop light and head lights areLeD but turn signals are normal light bulbs .
Just put cruise control on my yellow one
That makes a big diff
On motor way
You can put cruise control on this bike?
@@browneyejoe143 Yes but will void warranty...
What kind of cruise control did you put and where do you get it?
@@richardbrown9344any recommendations?
Good review mate. The screen is a bit dated LCD unit n not TFT
Havent you seen the price?
Great test ride review.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good bike don't have too many electric sensors, just ride on.
LCD screen it's oil cooled not air cooled with an oil cooler nothing like a HD.
I would prefer wire wheels but i guess the cast ones are good enough for normal use.
Absolutely , and loose spokes..
non adjustable screen......its fixed...
Yes , thought it was..
Its a pass switch & you hardly pull it! 😂.
Probably good when your getting a bit older too..
Sold
Too heavy and not enough power. So no, not the Unicorn we are looking for. still, a nice little bike.
It's a tourer! Not a adventure one

No, it's not the Unicorn of adventure bikes 😢.

Waste of time watching this video.Comfort of seat? Seat,pegs,handlebar triangle? Seating position? Suspension travel? Vibration?
