This bike is absolutely impossible to keep clean like seriously
@@RAMIC-tv1ye yes 😂😂😂
I'm planning to move to Thailand from the United States. I currently own a 2021 Versys 650. I'm not planning to export my bike. After being overseas I see that there are VERY few 650cc or larger bikes around. I'm looking at this bike. The Suzuki 250 sport bike, or the Honda CB350RS. Smaller bikes are a blast! This one looks soooooooo comfortable, like my 650 Versys.
By the way. THANK YOU for reviewing this bike in ENGLISH. There are SO many reviews available but when you can only make out 5 words every minute from the vlogger you get disinterested quickly in the video.
Got mine delivered this Thursday absolutely love each and every minute I ride. Feel like am riding on a cloud that smoothness of the Japanese engine
Happy motoring to you 😎🏍
@@SHIFTINGGEARScom what is the exact speed it is on 7k rpm
Congrats but there is nothing Japanese here for the parts. Parts are shared across brands in India and those parts are not Japanese
@@sorcerermax5111 is it what designed by tvs or Bajaj then? I mean the engine?
bhai what about gear box. I took test ride from 2 different showroom and the gears were very had. My toe started paining. how is your experience?
Commenter from New Zealand here: Love your review thank you. Just have to say the Indian highway and road seems very exciting... random trucks and tractors stopped in the fast lane... check... people straddling 2 lanes quite often.... check... people walking across a high-speed highway... check... random people on motorcycles wearing no helmet... check... very exciting!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent review brother..you're reviews are a benchmark!!
Thanks for watching, happy to help 🫡
Off al the reviews I have seen your commentary is fantastic, covering the most aspects of the bike in clear detail, ten out of ten for this review. Keep up the good work. Greeting from Australia 🦘. God bless. Caes Bouman.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for watching.
I saw you in one of your car videos and then came here. The way you explain and pronounce is very good. I rarely like any reviewer on CZcams. You are good
Welcome aboard!
Thanks for watching.
We will try to maintain the quality...
154kmph speed touched 😊 at hubali highway
I took a test ride and found it very nice and easy to handle, maneuver, riding for the first time and felt like it is my own bike and I as if I am using it for months together, Ergonomics is also too good. I am 5'4" and had few doubts but even when it is a sure tip toe for me but never ever felt scary at any time and drove on highway, city traffic etc. Only hing is the foot peg sometimes hindered , may be fo r my height. But apart from it nothing. At traffic signal , by mistake unknowing I launched it and saw that I did it without knowing and feeling , it was launched from 3rd gear onward and didn't felt it. So is pick up torque and smoothness. Even in 1st gear it is not like a beast pushing you like a horse riding (like FZ25) Very nice and good, but the gears are not that accurate, like FZ25 and suspension slightly stiffer than FZ (FZ suspension/brakes/Gears are better) and 6th gear is not at all missed for V Strom like very much mfeel like missing in FZ25. Not Offload suitable is mentioned by other reviewers is due to normal front suspension travel only. Another thing I liked is that its tank top is almost Flat and better way , kind of lower and you can comfortably use a Tank bag unlike other bikes having toll tank top.
Thanks for sharing...

best review spent time 41 min❤ very partical bike
Thanks for watching 🫡🫡🫡
I like this bike...its very good looking in all side except back side... Touring bike with only 12litr tank
What about side wind turbulence, as it is a tall bike ? I am considering to buy Scram 411 (as it feels more nimble than Himalayan), but the tube tyre is a concern for me. So, what you guys suggest, Scram 411 or V-storm?
Cross winds do affect the bike a little. Noticed it when at high speeds.
Yes, tube tyres are a criminal waste of time. Avoid. You can do a lot more with those 30 minutes and extra money, each time a puncture occurs.
I think air-cooled 350cc or higher displacement engines don't like city traffic! I've checked a lot of reviews about those bikes and everybody complains about overheating in city traffic. Especially the Himalayan; people say if it reaches a certain level of heat, it doesn't even turn on until it is completely cool!
That's where the V-Strom comes in. It's liquid cooled and is 80% made for city roads and 20% for mountains, deserts, mud and floods!
My concern is with my height - 5'10". I don't know if I will be able to flat-foot it during traffic.
Quite comprehensive review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent review.Thanks for the excellent video. Cleared so many doubts on my mind… going to book now
Thanks for watching, happy to help.
Great review. Worth watching.
I test rode this bike couple of weeks ago and completely loved it. I would buy it as a daily commuter and occasional long rides. I especially liked the riding position and comfort (Since I'm tall, regular commuter bikes make me sit a bit knees up making me uncomfortable). The only fly in the ointment is the steep pricing.
Couldn't agree more!
Should have been at least INR 20,000 cheaper.
@@SHIFTINGGEARScom yes and also a slipper clutch would have got more customers to it
Yes, it's charging premium....
Do you think I'll be able to flat-foot it? I'm 5'10" (179 cm).
@@Farhan_049Hi. I'm 5'10" as well and here's my experience:
With one foot flat on the ground, the heel of my other foot was slightly lifted. It wasn't an issue and I could ride comfortably through traffic as well.
Can you suugest between v storm 250 & adv 390 x....even though its not comparable...... I need for touring purpose...plz suggest
Great review. And its in English, which is even gooder. 👍
Thanks for watching...
Highly underrated review
Thanks for watching...
Very nice & detailed review, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I test rode the bike today and first thing I noticed is that foot pegs are fowling with my calves when taking the bike out of tight spaces and moving the bike generally, which is very bothersome. Is this only my observation or any one else also found the same criticism?
Though I engine is very smooth but as said in the reviews it lacks the oomph and the punch unlike KTM 390 ADV
Bro just loved ur review.. first time I saw your review.. nice.. just one q.. what's the top speed and whether front shocks are way too stiff or what??
Nice detailed review.. keep it up ☺️
Thanks for watching…
My dream bike 😍
Wow ! Such a detailed review ✨✨ ✨
Glad you liked it!!
Brought it 🎉
would u suggest vstorm over gixxer 250???
Weight is advantage💪
BTW, Sunny Bhai, you must disclose the name of the dealer and help other customers to be aware of their wrong deed. In your place I would have cancelled my booking from that dealer no matter what. They knew about it and still tried to fool a customer.
One of my favourite automobiles presenter you are . Now my question ..... Need a motorcycles for touring long distances, which one should I got for among these two? Honda hiness 350 or Suzuki vstorm 250? Pls do suggest me 🙏
Recently came back from riding the H’Ness CB350 in Ladakh, and it did very well. Now if you’re going to take it easy in general, go for the Honda. But if your long distance touring will include lot of highway time and some mild trails, then consider the Suzuki. Also the riders triangle of the V-Strom is more engaging overall. Look at our recent videos where we’re riding the Honda around the Himalayas, it’s proved to be a very capable mountain goat. As per your question, V-Strom > H’Ness.
@@SHIFTINGGEARScom thanks thanks a lot .🙏. Yes saw your honda ride in ladakh too, loved it . Also Honda's mileage of 38 that you showed on dashboard is impressive for a big engine . Thanks for for bringing us such great videos , you Excel at this job 🙏
Thanks for watching... More coming...
watch how many people have dont ladakh in v storm. Once thing i didnt like in hiness is it dont feel that punchy in highway, it feels dull. Burt suzuki feels very lively in highways easily 100-110 cruise speed. Thats why i picked suzuki. milegae bhi bahat sahi deta 35-40 city-highway milake
stop calling it an adv bike. it has suspension setup exactly of gixxer. adv bikes have more suspension travel.
I Booked Gixxer SF 250, continue with it or should i switch to V-strom...?
Geniniue review brother! Good to see your vidoes and detailed and great comments ! Quality of the video is top notch ! I own a 2016 model Classic 350. Planning to buy a new bike, so in search of many bikes which is comfortable for both rider and pillion (wife) and I finalised Himalayan ( i afraid what if same issues like my classic350) and V Storm 250. I had Domi400 also in list, I'm 5.7 height. I want to keep a bike for longer period, should be relaiable, to office, weekend touring,pillion seat comfort, milage, handling in all these suzuki has a tick mark. So I feel v storm is better bike. But still confusion because its 2.5L in hometown, lot of money ! Need a reliable bike that can stay with me for longer. Could you please show some light bro!
This Suzuki will indeed do everything just right, the brand is known for reliability. Seat space for pillion is genuinely decent for long rides. For dynamic riding, this will be better than the Himalayan and Classic for sure.
if you are confused between Classic & Himalayan, I would recommend the new Classic if you are not going to go off-the-road. But the rider seat of the Himalayan is one of the best, on any two-wheeler in the country.
@@SHIFTINGGEARScom thanks for your valuable response. I really do not wish to go for RE again. I afraid I'll spend my time in service station as far as I have experience with my classic350. Yes new classic and meteor models are good.. but I want something different and v strom looks good as per your feedback and my needs. Will see. Thanks brother.
I go mainly in highway, not off roading. Can this bike keep up 110 to 120 in highway
Yes, it can cruise at 110-120. Top speed is almost at 150 kmph. But that is on long straights, and when pushing a bit too much for the bikes ability.
I just booked this today, With diwali offer I was given 20500 rs discount + riding jacket from suzuki along with 5 years warranty and low rider seat. If you haven't purchased it yet check for the same offer with you local showroom.
Nice & realistic review .
Glad you liked it
Sold RE 350 and booked v strom 250
Looks like it would be a better proposition than the royal enfield scram or himalayan.
How is after sales service for this bike?
I'm using Activa as of now for my daily 50 KM to and fro office commute. Most of the road i ride is very bad and I'm getting back pain due to it. I do have a car (Alto) which is 100x more comfortable than my Activa, but it is just not practical to spend double the time on full traffic road. Considering my case, can i consider this as my first bike. I can afford BMW GS 310 as well. Please suggest. My primary requirement is to have an extremely comfortable ride and not getting tired at all.
I have your exact same issue. I think V strom 250 is the best compared to GS310. GS310 engine is not as refined. Service and part cost is also high since its a BMW.
@@btijti I went ahead with hness cb 350
@@PrithvisAccount Good choice. All the best
Hi speed cornering kar sakte hain kya?
Between vstrom and xpulse can anyone suggest which one is better?
I think both the bikes serve a different purpose. However, both turn out to be a good choice even if you use it for a daily commute.
If you are looking for highway rides with decent power then vstrom is a suitable product.
There is a huge price difference between the 2. If u have bugdet, vstorm will be a better option.
Nice review sir
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the detailed review. Will 5-6 height be a challenge to ride this bike and tip toe always?
There is a adjusting seat available at cost of additional 1000 rs for leg on road issue
Suzuki....
Acha Acha Acha.....
Please make a ride review on TVS Ronin..
I am 5 ft 2 in should I go for this bike 😅
Do a comparison with latest FZ25 although the price difference is huge but so are the experience of using it. You feel you are driving a bigger super , world class bike even if it is just 250 cc.. Also how is the service & maintenance cost for V strom?
2nd service 1200 laga, first service was completely free. Milege to aramse 35-40 ntak aa jati hai city-highway milake.
I hv seen ur full video . Can u please do it on CB300F?
Can it be used as a daily commuter in the city.?
Yes
i used it in bangalore traffic. Its light weight is helpful.
Do you know if they will reach South America?
Can i tour 200 km in one stretch, since it is air cooled engine
It's oil cooled and more than 200 km u can easily do 700-800 kms in single stretch
Can someone comment on the rear suspension.. many say it’s hard and create back pain
Rear suspension is hard but does not cause you back pain.
where do the vibrations kick in?
Booked it today, will get delivery on Dhanteras
Bro.. do you know any link of online shop for lowering seat to reduce 25mm of the seat height? I need it for Indonesia.
Is this bike good for short riders? I'm about 5'7"
5'7 is not short brother 😂... Average Indian height
mileage?
Compared to your Adventure 390, the foot pegs are front set or rear set or similar?
I'd say a little more relaxed riding posture... But then it all depends on rider preference and body type.
The review is good but, please speak in any one language English Or Hindi
My height is 5.4 plz tell me best or not for me
You’ll be able to manage it for sure. Take a test ride.
Top speed achieved 153 kmph😎😎😎
Zontes t2 310 or Suzuki Vstrom 250 sx??
Suzuki!
My weight is 115kg. Can I ride this bike?
Yes, why not
metor vs vstrom which one is better?
Any time suzuki
Suzuki bro ..
SUZUKI
Anytime Suzuki. Infact, I am planning to sell my RE 350 and switch to this bike.
Suzuki Vstrom 250 has problems like less suspension.
Ye gadi pehle ride pe he pyar ho jayega engine se.
Khara ahe😅
या तो हिन्दी में बोल दो या सिर्फ़ इंग्लिश में , वेसे हिन्दी ज़्यादा लोगो को समझ में आती है
is there hazard light switch ?
No
I wouldn't recommend this bike for off-road
Aap hinglish mein mat karo video uncomfortable lagta hai sunne ko. Kyunki jyadatar log hindi ki hai toh aap hindi mein hi video daalo ab se.
