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?

How are those crosswinds? 😂
No, you cant adjust the windscreen. Great video 👍
Your right….
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!
wow.. love it.. i have the 650xt
Stop light and head lights areLeD but turn signals are normal light bulbs .
LCD screen it's oil cooled not air cooled with an oil cooler nothing like a HD.
Great test ride review.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I would prefer wire wheels but i guess the cast ones are good enough for normal use.
Absolutely , and loose spokes..
Good review mate. The screen is a bit dated LCD unit n not TFT
Havent you seen the price?
Probably good when your getting a bit older too..
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...
Its a pass switch & you hardly pull it! 😂.
Sold
non adjustable screen......its fixed...
Yes , thought it was..
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 😢.
What is then?
Waste of time watching this video.Comfort of seat? Seat,pegs,handlebar triangle? Seating position? Suspension travel? Vibration?
