For new buyers - I don't know what to say, I do not want to rob him of his opinions... but on some topics I don't at all relate to him, so here are my opinions.
First of all, It's not that hard to handle... Consider a 5ft 9 person who has never ridden a bike, I had a few options in front of me, and I tried a couple of them including this and xpulse as well as some other ones. This seemed the smoothest and easiest to me to start, ride and come to a stop (and I learned how to ride a bike on my test ride - consider that).
1. Beginner friendly and Height? This is a beginner friendly bike, gears are very forgiving with long ranges, no vibrations at low RPMs and just overtakes anything and
If you are really good at riding it won't give you trouble even at 5.4". The guy I learned it from was 5.3" and easily got on it had his one leg reaching the ground at any time and he took this to the road, down from the showroom down and up to the godown... I have seen 5.6 and 5.7 people riding the new himalayan at 835 mm comfortably on Himalayas and Ladakh. It's just the rider who needs to handle it and the bike is very light weight and slim for that.
If you are moderatly good, consider that min height of 5ft 7 and above will be good with the low seat (810mm)
if you're really a beginner biker like me consider 5ft 9 minimum with the higher seat height (835mm). I am still riding it with 810mm after a month plus of riding everyday in highways and streets as I was very underconfident with any bike... but I will soon be changing it as the 835 mm one has more cushion.
2. If that's cleared up, I am a first time rider I bought it in Delhi (for 2.33L) and it's not a waste of money neither does it look cheap to me. 2.3L is also not a lot of money in the two wheeler market rn... There's basically no other bike in this segment under 2L so this is the absolute budget bike and still looks like a sport bike to be honest! (like a proper V-strom) I don't know what the OP expected out of this money. If you're considering Xpulse. It just is better off roader due to the suspensions.. but it's an absolute rough bike, with a rough engine and gear shifts and battery problems and not a beginner friendly one... I went twice for test rides - I felt it even sounds like a motocross bike with the rattling sound
3. No the 810mm seat doesn't ruin your stance.. It just depends on person to person and how you like to ride it, It's just not that comfortable as the other one.
4. Handle, Gears, Engine Problems?
I didn't face any handling problems (probably after riding for an year or so who knows?), with time the gears have become smoother.I don't have much experience like the reviewer but I can say that I have heard nothing but good things about this engine and he's saying that the engine is not that smooth.. It's just reliable. I mean I have never experienced it and for sure.. I feel like this engine is smooth AF which almost all of the reviewers say with the Suzuki engine - It's the best thing about the bike!
5. City Ride?
It's a must-have city bike... It's made for cities, this is the most opposite thing of my experience... I have researched a lot of normal city bikes as well (not ADV) it's the best among those with 120mm... and It doesn't eat up the bumpers and all but its so smooth even if take it up and down a footpath or small bumpy roads which there are a lot in my area... which I regularly do for parking and whenever heading out. Of course nothing compared to a Himalayan and sorts they have 200mm that is why they can't call it a proper Adventurer... but it is a perfect tourer and city bike, perfect for highways and office commutes - If not me listen to the bike guy Shumi.
I found out that this review was of all things negative for most things especially for design which the OP says he doesn't like... well it's not everyone's cup of tea, like Himalayan's not mine, so go with your taste. With some things I agree but for most of them... I think... not so much
My use case? I use it for regular commutes which I also enjoy every bit of it. Also, I want to tour on it sometimes but I am not a hardcore tourer, if I do that a lot. I might switch to the BMW 310 GS or Benelli (or the himalayan 451 better equipped but not my cup of tea for the design and its weight).
Leaving this huge comment to help my fellow V-strom buyers.. It's not Himalayan, It's not Xpulse, It's also not an absolute tank.. It's Vstrom, sporty and lightweight and just in the right budget with an engine that is smooth AF.
Update: I'm not 5ft 9", I am 5ft 7" actually I mentioned it to be that because I was using a very high heel shoes which atleast makes me 5ft 9 because I just learned bikes in general and had low road confidence. After 4 months of riding now I regularly wear normal flat shoes. Sure, I have to scoot my butt over to one side (just an inch maybe) to flat foot but it becomes a muscle memory and you're more aware of when you want to keep your feet down. Only downside is getting stuck in a crawling traffic for 30 minutes (which you will find only in Indian streets) you will feel a little tired with your legs all stretched out (but you get used to handling a tall bike and I don't feel it anymore even in traffic) other than that everything remains the same and I love it even more 😍
appreciated you took time and shared your detailed opinion, i hope it helps other viewers. Have fun ride safe.
thankyou :)@@HELMETDUDE
Thanks man. Your comment is as important as review. I am living in abroad here legal speed on motorway is 100, need a bike which can tour 100-110kph and can overtake at 120 km easy. Do you think this is the right bike?
Also worried about highway turbulence, here (nz) it gets windy sometimes
@@raj_3lettermagic Cruising at 100 to 110 is good. Wind turbulence affects all bikes irrespective of the weight and ride dynamics. You will get used to it by the time you put 10k mileage on this. Maybe just work on your core strength of your body. And engine is a gem in terms of refinement contrary to this review. The best in 250cc segment
@@swaroopmcc2786 thanks mate
I own vstrom and covered 15k plus kilometers in one year. Recently made Maharashtra and Tamilnadu rides with 800 plus kms in single day with ktm adv 390, duke 390 partners. Never felt slow on expressways maintaining 110-120kmph with very good fuel efficiency. Handling issue was there but after changing coneset now it's perfectly alright. Extremely pocket friendly maintenance and very good service support by suzuki. Really happy with the bike. Ride safe✌️
After home many kilometres u changed cone set ...I have covered 21k kms... Now I'm not feeling confident on higher speeds...here service centre is pathetic...
@@sangamesh74 I suggest you to change cone set at every 12K kilometers. This is my 5th bikw after kariza,Fz, r15 and cbr 250r now I'm using vstrom. I change the cone set at every 12k kms. Check your tyres too. If they are uneven then also you'll get wobbling issues
What is the mileage you get when your at 110+
@@krishnasathya5272 around 33 to 34kmpl
Hi, I am facing a similar handling issue. The bike goes to the left side. It has run 4500km so far and the second service is due. Can you tell me, by changing the cone set, left hand side pulling would solve?
The fact that you completed 15000 kms in 18 months itself shows how good the bike is.
I have completed 10000kms in 1 year, the bike is true "Value for money" even without discounts and my ride has been 80% in Bangalore traffic. There is absolutely zero issues in city traffic riding in slow speeds.
Apart from the navigation in instrument cluater, the bike has no cons In my opinion and people can go eyes closed.
The suspension will settle around 1000kms and the bike will become butter smooth around 5000kms.
In this budget, no other bike gives the comfort for both rider/pillion, touring ability, performance, tractable engine and butter smoothness along wih decent off road capacity (GC is 210mm and suspension is hard wearing)
Also in overseas this bike is already winning trophies in off road events alongside Tenere 700, so people saying the bike is not Adventure capable in India are just pure BS
I Agree 👍 you are right ▶️
How do you compare it with Yamaha XSR155? I plan to use a motorcycle for commuting - 70km round trip
@@Vushan108 If it's majorly for commuting go for XSR. If you want decent of all(Commuting, Highway Rides and entry level mild off road) go for Vstrom 250)
Both has its own advantages it's the purpose for which you want.
XSR gives you better mileage, easy in city traffic comparatively and agile riding feedback. But not comfortable for long Highway tours and off road cos of less power, suspension and GC.
Vstrom is decent in city not as good as XSR. Good at highways and Ok for mild offroad. But turns less mileage per litre and maybe a little bit costlier on the maintenance compared to XSR. And if you are below 5.8 height. Seat height is also on the higher side on Vstrom that affects easy handling in the city commute. Both are good bikes just different purpose built
I found the clutch - gearbox to be on the rougher side…. Does that get butter smooth too with kms? Or….??
Found Naked 250 to be better in terms of braking and handling.. they gave me a shitty V Storm for test ride! Unable to decide between V Storm and Naked version .. naked’s pillion seat- tail light is weird, tall and uncomfortable!
Its suspension hard??
I am 5 ft 5 have ridden mine 1300 km , purchased this month only. After coming from RE650 to this i felt bike to be on lighter side. Yes , height is issue but i think if you keep your foot on ground always, you can manage.
thanks for sharing your views, congratulations for your new bike.
Cons i observed in V storm
1. Rider foot rest obstruct while reversing bike
2. TFT screen is ok for me... Little bigger cluster would be nice
3. Center stand should have been given.. for ease of maintenance
4. Rear look of bike... Feels small and commuterish bike.
5. Windshield... I am thinking about removing it completely.... I will test like that for one long ride..
6. Helmet holder below rear seat does the job... But little better design would have helped....
Coming to pros
Ride comfort, Engine, clutch, gearing, cruising, build quality, storage provisions, head light, Tires, handling... I would say just one word... Wonderfully amazing😂😂😂...
Some cons can be perfected by some jugad... I think this bike can keep us happy for 1.5 lakh..ish kms😂
thanks for expressing your thoughts, congratulations for your bike. Ride safe have fun.
Facing left hand side pulling, the bike has run 500kms. Can you tell me the exact solution so that I can tell the service centre at the time of 1st service. TIA.
dude did you get it fixed. please tell your experience
finall helmet dude is back , watching your channel since 2021 apache days
Thanks SK
Happy #scram411 owner 😀.. Love this machine as well.. especially the design..🥳
Please make a dedicated video on left side pulling issue. Lot of people are facing it and they are referring your video for resolution. If you make a dedicated video on it, it might help others including me.
its there actually.
Great editing with the second person and telling him - chal haat yahan se. Looking great with the bulking bro.
Thanks man, thank you for the message.
nice!! new vid and great editing plus lag raha hain ki gym jaa rahe ho
Thanks for your message.
Boss you have completed 15k and still cribbing about the bike! It’s a wonderful bike. If you are unhappy just sell it !
if my tone and words came out to be cribbing to you, sorry buddy that is not the case. i am just stating everything possible after experiencing my own machine, paid by me and owned by me.
I guess you should folllow and view content from those creators who gives specification details and mostly positives from riding showroom to showroom 😂 have fun.
@@HELMETDUDE I will decide what content to view and whom to follow - thank you but no thank you. Similar to you, I expressed my view point too. I can surely see a number of your viewers’ positive feedback on the bike so am convinced with my viewpoint.
Good luck !
PS: I’ve surely liked and enjoyed many of your other vlogs. Goodby e!
Welcome Back 🎉
Maine last ride almost 710+ km ka kiya, us time 44.1 ka mileage mila tha ❤
That is some big long ride, i have never done more than 650 in a day 🤣🤣 salute to your effort and achievement 🫡
@@HELMETDUDE 😝 efforts and achievement 😜
650 means almost 700 you did in one day, but I was just a rider at that time, but in 650km that time you are a rider, an influencer, video creator, and main a youtuber.
Many things are in your head, but if the head is calm, a person can cover 800 km to 900 km comfortably.
I get 42 KMPL at 85 KM/Hr not really sure if MID is showing right
@@sangamp6292 6th gear + 80-92 speed = 40+ mileage easily
For rear brake lever, u can use a rubber water hose or a patch of used tyre tube to make it unslippery.

Bhai apache 160 4v me meko 50 plus average mil rha , i am very happy 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤ 9 ltr dalaya tha 480 ka range aaya trip B me ...
congratulations, to be honest i do miss riding apache or i would say naked bikes.
@@HELMETDUDE how to avoid jerk in 1st and 2nd gear 😅😅😅 bcoz in slow speed how to ride this bike ? Tell me something bro 🥲🥲🥲
Im 6 ft. I want a bike for daily office commute and weekend long rides (100km approx)confused between Honda Hness cb 350 and vstrom 250 sx. Also the maintainence of the bike should be pocket friendly. Which one would u suggest brother?
Honda highness 👌 but still if you need clarity from your side, take test rides of both the vehicles. Rest i would suggest cb
hai brother currently i am having classic 350 planing to update adv tourer i got deal of used bike 4k kms done vstrom 250 for 185k should i go with vstrom or wait and push it to ktm 390 adv but need to put 2x amount for ktm ( usage 20-30% city , 70-80 %percent highway )
which state?
@@HELMETDUDE Tamil nadu ktm adv x on road 350k , vstrom new one 260k brother
Between KTM Adv 250 and V-Storm 250?Which is more worth it?
Solely on personal choice. Ktm 390 I would prefer tbh but when it comes to 250 cc, I chose suzuki.
Is the gear box of you bike smooth? Because I am getting little noise when i switch gear. Its been 3 weeks since i got the bike and have done 550 kms.
How is CB 300 F for touring n off roading compared to this? Also Gixxer 250 naked ?
How to enable the rpm light?
I agree with you on some of the points mentioned. I have ridden it now 6k km in 90 days approximately
Good points
1. Brakes
2. Engine is awesome - No vibrations and exceptional mileage (upto45kmpl if ridden constantly at 80kmph)
3. Seat - very broad and long and well cushioned
Improvement areas :
1. Suspension - Front forks are horrible, and the rebond in potholes is sharp and causes wrist pain
2. Tyres - I use it for touring and the tyre noise is really high on highway and it gets annoying on long tours
3. World famous suzuki service stations.. Pata nai kab sudhrenge ye log😂
I want to say I am 5ft 5 inches tall guy and I use it for daily office commute in bangalore and highway tours, I think I am able to ride it comfortably in bumper to bumper traffic.. If you are short rider on this bike you need to have confidence and right technique... I still struggle sometimes on slopes and inclinations but I think you can live with it.
Thanks for sharing.
Bro Can you make a video on how to handle this bike of short. I have got one and I having some issues handling it in traffic
The front forks are "NOT" horrible, you are not supposed to dive into potholes at speed,
Either you should stand up or slow down. If you don't do either, rebound will hit
The bike's suspension is more than capable, check out infobikescars channel they completed Mizo adventure rally in Mizoram, the Vstrom easily trumped Xpulse, Himalayan offroad
Also, in countries like Columbia Vstrom SX recently won several trophies in gladiators off road event of 2023, so the rider should know how to ride off road rather than claiming horrible suspension
I've been owning one since last 4 months and completed around 3k kms, facing rusting issues on my bike, has anyone faced the same? If so what could be the possible solutions?
Share your arms exercise routine and also share your diet plan. Just a rough one not explicit.
I am getting a discount of 25k. Should i buy it?
Read that again. Same thing usually happens with other brands as well when they try to sell out anything forceably.
Which city do you live in ? Which dealer is offering the discount?
@rohithyadav8986 anantapur, andhra pradesh. Amruth suzuki. He initially offered 15k discount but then I bargained for 25k. Almost all dealers are offering it.
NO
It's takes a lot of bravery to talk shit about your own bike. Good job. I'm not gonna buy vstrom, because as you mentioned when u look at something which is not exciting enough then what's the point basically right.
you got the point, i am glad someone get this right. Thanks adim for your message. Happy makar sakranti, if you gujarati then happy uttrayan😜

Hello. The clutch cable on my Vstrom snapped after 6k kms. Second service done? Has anybody else faced this issue?
I am getting used vstorm for 1.55lacs, 9k kms completed. So my question is should I go for it or should I go for RE HIMALAYA. Want a bike for long touring purposes. Can you please suggest brother.
its good deal
Bro can u please give comparison between Gixxer V Strom 250 vs CB 300F N CN350rs?
Bhai I bought the bike by watching your old videos.
And iam still happy with the Vstrom,Now why are you suddenly 13:09 started this negative side.
No bike is complete, pro cons toh rehta hai, ab itna chalaya hai so just shared whatever I have experienced ki it might help other customers before buying. I am not saying only bad things , but the ones I have really felt.
Be careful while you make upgrades
But pros outweigh the cons... Only con I observed is tft cluster.... Rest I like everything.... for tft simply we can use car dhash app on mobile😂
bhi ek tip lele , nukkle guard proper hai , jab tu gloves pehen ke chalayega tab samaj aayega , sirf nukkle guard se kuch nhi hota hai
Okay sir
On point... I also owns from 1 year... I felt same hand pain after hour or two continue riding... Right pull, yes I also felt it...
What about vibrations in 15000 kms??
did you check dominar headlights ??
its intensity sexy

15:17 I've heard that Suzuki's cooling systems be it oil cooling or liquid cooling is among the best in the world and this might be the reason you're not able to sense excessive heat. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks Surya for sharing.
@@HELMETDUDE lots of love to you bhai❤️
I have driven mine arnd 13k within 10 months, the most annoying is its speedometer error which is way too much arnd. 10 and the exhaust is also too silent feels like driving an electric bike.
8-11 speedometer error you will find in tvs, RE and suzuki too. Its nothing new and very upsetting that why these brands do such things.
My V strom is struggling to get past 110-120 ! I have followed the engine break in as well. What can be the issue ?
Just try to shift gears at right time. Attain speed of 90-100 in 4th gear itself and then try uptil 6th gear, it will reach easily around 130-150

according to me vstrom will be best suited only for highway touring. If you planning for city also, then kindly look into honda highness, honda RS and if you like Royal enfield then even those model also.

Also at what speed vibration start to kick in.. Other reviewe were saying after 110 vibrations makes thier presence felt, until then it is butter smooth.. Please reply.. And man congratulations for those big bulky biceps.. Those were making their presence felt

Hey bro, I am planning to buy V-storm 250 but my height is 5.4, I have test ride the bike for around 6 km in the city and the pillion was sitting with me and I found no problem at all. But I am little bit concerned about the comfort in day to day traffic, if I have to reverse the bike with sitting on it and all the little things. You can understand. I am a experienced rider with 28 years of experience, I owned Pulsar 150, Pulsar 200 (not NS or RS) and Activa. I want to buy a adventure bike and all adventure bikes are tall. Please suggest me.
Read my comment if you want a good explanation of the height thing for the Vstrom- with the low seat it comes to 810mm try that for the test ride. If you really want an adventure bike go for it. It just feels right to get one when you want an ADV. Day to day traffic will be troublesome you're right with crawling traffic and without the confidence of being able to putting the leg down at all - only if that's how you felt with your test rides!
Probably a good alternative will be Himalayan 450 with the optional low seat (805 mm) or the standard seat comes at 825mm. Its bulky for me, but since you're very experienced it will be very easy for you and ADV is an ADV different from every other segment out there. Cheers!

Your decision was correct, not just the bike but nearby showroom and sales service should be upto the mark. Anyhow all the best for your new bike and thank you for your message.

Thank you coach sahab for the message.
1:53 😂😂😂
One in a million review.
I haven't seen any better about this bike.
Keep it up and never give sold out opinions.
Thanks buddy, will do my best.
7:16 yes that's true
Hey helmet dude I already booked vstorm my main purpose from bike is 80% city banglore traffic and 20 % weekend ride is it base decision I am having second thoughts after watching your video earlier actually i Haven't seen you complaining this much about the bike, also i am looking for long term so 7yrs minimum also hows is your service experience any recommended service centre in Bangalore
people might see this as problem or complaining video but to be honest I haven't made any video so quickly for the sake of video and review videos instead I took enough time before sharing my experience. so after almost 1 and half years, I came with this video which only explains my experience.
.
.
so if you ask me, as your bigger brother I would advise you to pass this. but if you like it so much after test ride, it's your final call.
@@HELMETDUDE can you suggest any other bike for my use case I already stretch my budget so can't go above 2.5 onroad
@@mayurpatil7893bro what did you decide then?

Bhot straight bolta hai ye ladka 😅😅
🤣🤣🤣
Bhai tumko 25 lac ki bike Leni chahiye thi😅
Kyuki 2.5 lakh mein Jo mil sakta tha mil Raha hai sx 250 se.... I think your expecting quite a lot by investing quite a less....
In my opinion it is an underatte bike in its segment
2.5 lac is less for you, tune kaunsi aur kitne ki bike Li hai pyaare mohan!
@@HELMETDUDE pyarrey Nandan... I wanna say ki itni illogical expectations hai Teri ek 2.5 lakh ki bike sey.m.itsnlike u were a BMW quality from an entry level adv tourer bike...
Wese I have a ktm 390 adv and I think Suzuki did a good job with 250 sx and justified everything at that price
@@karan4163 okay so pyare mohan owns ktm adv, chal maan liya, toh tu ladke ek kaam kar, gyan chod us par, jo nahi hai tere paas uska zimma owners aur customers ko lene de.
If your walnut size tiny brain dont understand the fact that this video is mainly about letting the potential customers know about every single related thing related to this bike and nothing else, not about bad or good, neither any expectations. but anyhow people/consumers like you have different kind of mentality so cant blame you either, enjoy your KTM.
Too much weight
165kgs is too much?
You sound like now you are regretting your decision to buy this bike.
It's called sound of being neutral. Sound which is free from any noise and help others to know the best and real thing possible. Anyhow thanks for your message RB
@@HELMETDUDE I have budget of 3lakh. 70% City/Office and 30% long touring. No off-road. Which bike would you recommend?
I live in Bangalore. 😅
@@rupambanerjee7860 i would suggest you to wait, if there is urgency you can go ahead and test ride bikes like highness/ CB350 RS or KTM duke 250, KTM ADV 390 X if fits your budget. These bike will do good in terms of ridinf experience plus quality and also under your budget.
💪🙌👍
Bruh what about new Himalayan ?
Aayegi chalayenge tab hi kuch pata chalega.
@@HELMETDUDE 😞

How?

Bhot complaint kar te ho bhai 250cc k like. If there is nothing good about it then sale it. And get the KTM 390 adv. Suzuki be like- iite me iita he mile ga. No hard feelings bro.
If Suzuki was so much Lethargic in designing this bike, the customer has every right to be lethargic on neglecting this bike when it comes to buying.
V strom 250sx could've been seriously a great value for money bike if they had distinctive :
- Indicators
- Instrument cluster
- Tank
- Suspensions
- Foot peg positioning
- Hazard lights
- Tail light (current one sucks af)
Maybe Suzuki comes with complex technology & features but, In terms of Reliability and service Yamaha is always better.
Suzuki engines are bulletproof!!
Helmet dude what’s the helmet brand???
Tu bech de bhai bike
meri tension mat le, mai ab teesri k plan mai hoon, tu apna dekh mere bhai, kaam aayega.
