    Thank you for the review. I took the drive test and immediately booked the bike I connected so well. Have done 600km approx till now.
    Hands down best engine ever 🔥 and touring in 100-110 is effortless. No vibration at all. Post 125kmph little vibration only in footpegs if you wear a good shoes you won't even feel that, no vib at handles at all. 🔥
    Absolutely easy to ride in city, I'm 5'8
    Edit1: Have done 6k kms, 2nd service done. Absolute no issues with the bike except the stand paint quality is poor but it can be replaced under the 5 year warrenty. Runs smoother than day1 after few services. Have done 3-4 long rides absolute mile muncher, not a single issue till date. And yeah the gearbopx has smoothen up a little now.

    A bigger fuel tank would have added to the weight of the bike , more travel suspension would have raised the seat height more.
    In India , heavy bikes with tall seat height is not everyone's cup of tea - Suzuki has taken a middle ground t offer an adventure tourer which can do everything for any pan India touring.
    I just hope that my 5'3" stature finds acceptability with this bike.....i find the CB500x with similar seat height comfortable but not the G310GS, also the Husqvarna Svartpilen with a similar seat height also do not appeal to me in comfort.
    I hope that this bike feel more manageable than the CB500x for a short height person like me so that i can buy it.

    Real disappointment is Front suspension- aren't made for Off road, even for small potholes, rider can feel the sharp feedback;
    Heat dissipation wasn't that good!!
    Pillion height is taller IMO and footrest should have been mounted with rubber for lesser vibration !!
    Gear shifting for taller rider is painful,due to seating geometry!
    Clutch play is really small, you will always stall the engine at 1st roll.
    Should've designed the tail section lights better- Old gen Tail light without LED indicators are a turndown.
    At last-the price : competitively ok, but anyways its higher, without wire spoke and Long travel suspension!

    Nice, well done Suzuki.
    153kmph allowing for 10% over-reading is about 139kmph true speed, about right for 25 - 26 hp.
