Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 Review | An Expensive Proposition | Sagar Sheldekar Official | 4K

- Опубликовано: 21 июн 2022
- Sarge finally gets his hands on the V Strom SX 250 based on Suzuki's well established 250cc platform. So it is heavily based on the Gixxer 250 but comes wrapped in new bodywork, gets a 19 inch front and also commands a massive 32k premium over the naked. Sarge hops on to make sense of it in this episode of Living It Up RAW.

Before buying a bike in India, wait for Sergeant Sheldekar's review. Bought the Dominar 400 after your review, and its still with even after 5 years.
Happy to help. Hope you liked and shared this video too
I bought Yamaha sz without his review. It's still good and with me after 6 years
@@madrasrider comment of the day.
@@madrasrider Anybody ask you to potty here
@Madras Rider i have sz too 11 years completed🤣🤣🤣
On point and best review of the SX-250. Bought my Gixxer 6 years ago after watching Sarge's review. Best purchase ever. Have done a lot of customisations to it in 6 years, have ridden it about 50,000 KM till now and still in love with it. The most reliable and unbiased motorcycle reviews.
Lovely bike that. Glad you enjoyed the video. Do like and share
Same me too bro. I first saw Sarge review the Gixxer when he was with PD. Ever since I got that machine I just don't feel like replacing it
Mee too on 2016 passed 73000kms
Only engine oil leakage through the magneto coil is an issue .
@@Jonakkk just go to a mecanic and put some araildate paste or any closing paste its only gona cost 200 rupees
Now, this is called a pure, honest, simple, detailed review. No plans of buying anything soon, but just love to watch you explain all minor details with such ease. Thank you and keep making such awesome videos.

One of the best review. After seeing this review, I can still bet that my decade old CBR 250R engine is the best in the segment even now.
Was a real good option. Wish Honda had given it the update it deserved
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Thanks for your time to reply. Current 300cc engine is manufactured in India. CRF300L might arrive in next 2 years if not CBR 300R will arrive for sure.
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Isn't the cb300r a worthy 'upgrade' in your book, given that its engine is a bigger version of the cbr250r?
@@cmrdecc6516 without the full fairng and a speedo limited top speed of 160 hard to call it a successor of 250 and the tank range too is somewhere around 230km riding carefully
Test rode this bike and fell in love with it. Comofort and handling impressed me a lot. Agree with vibrations at foot pegs over 100kmph. Brakes for me were good enough and switched off rear abs by taking out the plug near the engine when I took it for offroading.
The single biggest annoyance for me is the suspension travel 😐
Just wish it wasn't this expensive
@@visordownn I agree. I took it for offroad and could feel the 120mm suspension travel. Well that’s how companies do cost cutting I guess. Take same engine and mechanicals and put it on a new frame😁
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial Agreed Sir. Not even the basic things like distance to empty or hazard lights are provided for the extra cost.
@@visordownn don't use front brake when going over road humps/potholes. Most people do and then they complain about suspension travel.
That is how a review must be done. Every single detail is covered in a language everyone can understand. Glad you mentioned how the braking is Sagar. Its surprising so many other reviewers missed to mention the poor brakes. Such an important thing thats easily overlooked. Great work Sarge❤. Let us know when you are coming to Kerala.
Glad you enjoyed it mate. Do like and share while I plan a trip to Kerala ☺️

Always, always buy a bike after Sarge's expert review . Worked for me , worked for my friends and colleagues .. its a thing now .. keep this up Sarge .. Always quality content.. what amuses me is , how you push the bikes even if the tarmac is wet , broken or whatever the condition.
Anticipating your next upload .

I appreciate this and I'm glad I found your channel. It is difficult to find reviews of this type of bikes (low CCs) in English, and most reviews in my native language (Spanish) just aren't all that good. I made up my mind and I'm going for the Gixxer SF.
Happy to help
I had been waiting for this review so eagerly. You're one of the very few reviewers across the entire global motorcycle RUclipsrs whose opinions I can totally trust.
And that means the world to me

Sagar you brought a clear and balanced perspective. While all other reviews only talked on the positives you lifted veil on the pitfalls. Thanks..

Best review, I thought suzuki might have seen this video. They are now giving good amount of discount on this bike. I own it a month ago I got around 30000 benefit from the showroom the on road price was at
2.25L after all discounts and a rider jacket, normal full face helmet, tank pad and a crash guard I got as free accessories from service centre.
After a month of ride I can say it feels more smoother than before, getting mileage around 38-42.
I can say this doesn’t mean for hardcore off roading but u can take it to some bad roads.
Though the suspension travel isn’t enough but it’s on softer side to soak every pot holes and rough patches and even rumblers
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you have subscribed
A follower from ages
I rode it for 100 kms and after a week i put down more 200 kms. Trust me test rides cant justify the bike, u need to keep it riding to understand its capability as a tourer
These are how reviews are to be made .. keep up the awesome work man ..

Must say, Sarge is the only serious reviewer who when he reviews Triumph Tiger followed by VStrom 250; confuses us all as to which one to buy 👏
Haha get the gixxer 250 instead 😉
Hey Sarge ! Got a vstrom delivered last week. Its a wonderful machine. I do a lot of commuting and occasional short trips (max 200kms to and fro) and this serves me well. Coming from a xpulse 200 4v, the suspension is a bit stiff but the handling and stability has blown me away. Its also really comfortable and smooth. The power is not frantic but after a point it sure is fun. I also have a conti gt650 which takes care of the fun quotient. The xpulse felt a bit underpowered with a pillion but the suzuki is a gem ❤ sadly in India, good machines are not accepted by the majority. And moreover i think the seat height is a deal breaker for most. They are even scared to test ride it. Im 5’9” and this thing is perfect ❤
Congrats
Demi god of reviews! Dedication level since panigale review to till date has never changed! You give it all everytime brother! Keep motivating this gen lads 🔥

..this 250 cc 4 valve oil cooled engine ( also used in gixxer 250) is the best 250 cc engine in the Indian market at present. It uses SOCS ( suzuki oil cooling system) technology which is patented by suzuki ( SOCS is also used in the hayabusa). Its a maintenence free cooling system unlike the liquid cooled in many other bikes !!!. Amazing performance accross the rev range along with good fuel efficiency !!😍😍
Informative!
which is better vstorm 250 or gixxer 250
@@floydanto7194 gixxer is a road bike whereas the other one is an adventure bike for offroading etc. My personal choice is the gixxer 250 .
But vibrations irritates a lot
@@floydanto7194 better to gor for Himalayan or yezdi adv
Suzuki vstrom 250 not value for money ,around 1.6 lakhs its better
Ohh yes ohh yes!!!!
I was only waiting for the sarge to review this bike. And no one can describe the way you explain us.

Absolutely sarge. On point review as always.. people will find gixxer250 more vfm than this sx250. I think this sx badging is just to attract people.. no long suspension no slipper clitch no switchable abs .. honda cbx200=suzuki sx250. And as always lots of love for this level of journalism..

This bike has pretty good mid range, overtaking on the highway is easy. However the top end is completely missing. It doesn't want to go beyond 110 kmph at all. But overall it's a fantastic highway tourer. On bad roads it returns feedback everytime you hit a bump or pothole. You can keep riding this bike on highways without any fatigue. I just loved the bike ❤
Brthr i hve tit 152...
Comfrble cruising 110 to 120..
Some buzz in foot pegs for sure.. 😅

Can u please let me know there song name that's used at starting of video? Pls.. 🙏🏼
What a ringing sound of engine
I own a Gixxer 250. Whatever you said about the engine, gear box and its front end are absolutely true. I just feel the brakes could have been bit more sharper in the feel. It brakes late and due to this many guys with Gixxer 250 and the SF have crashed. As for the range, I have been consistently getting above 400 km on full tank for past 2 years. Usually around 410-420 km and if driving sedately it can go upto 450 km also. Great review as always.

one of the most important thing i feel is slipper clutch. Ones who is accustomed of riding not so sedate in usual times, is surely going to miss while doing hard downshifts. Its a must atleast for me
It does help a fair bit

Suzuki sneakily launched it just a week after I got an Xpulse 4V and I kinda regretted my purchase, as I already own a Gixxer 150, a vstrom 250 seemed like the right next thing. I know it’s apples and oranges, but after watching this video I think I made the right choice…
Just wish they had priced it better. Also xpulse more versatile in terms of its offroad capability
Amazed with the review, the way the details are explained 👏 Sargeant can only do it. So, if I need to choose a bike in this price range(or even lower) and need the best comfort level especially for my back, which one shall I go for ?

Took a test ride of the suzuki SX vstrom 250 yesterday and in love with it. The engine pulls cleanly from 6th gear even from 40km speed! Amazing.. Definitely buying it...
The engine isnt the problem, the price is!
@@SagarSheldekarOfficial I am looking for upgrade from my 8 year old Gixxer 150 , I will use it 80 % for commuting and rare 20 % touring may be a Leh trip . Is this worth upgrade , Price is not an issue . I had honda Cb350 in consideration before Vstrom got launched .
Which one is better Dominar 250 or Suzuki vstrom SX ?
