Fact is that whoever has ridden on these Suzuki bikes, they loved it without a doubt..
absolutelyyy!
Agree
beginner riders, iske videos dekho , woh show off riders ke nhi. This man is honest in his opinions ....jo hai so hai.....blunt and without mincing words he expresses himself and true reality of riding.
Hello Sirji. I am in love with my black beast. She cruises so smooth...I have no words to deliver. V-Storm is the best touring n mid adventure bike.
Thanks sourav, cheers from another vstromian 😅
Any brake related issues till now?
V strom 250 he is superb ❤
@@HELMETDUDE can I use this bike in day -to-day life
I am in love with this bike after using Bullet, pulsar, CBR 250, Unicorn ……. So I bought this
Brooo I also just did 8k on my bike , I'm so happy with it , it's beautiful
thats great man! Have fun 👊
"You don't always need a plan bro. Sometimes you just need balls" ... wah wah 😅😅👏👏
One of the best channels in the current youtube crowd that builds a connect while watching, Informative and genuine to say. & Everytime I think of vstrom sx I look upto yours and falcon rider's videos on vstromsx250, that actually feels satisfying. You both have given all the answers in a perfect yet simple way. Keep it up brother. 👏
Thanks Sidhant, meant alot!
I have bought the V-Strom 250 and getting the delivery on the day of Ugadi. I have watched all the necessory content of yours. I was planning to buy apache last year but waited for sometime and Finally decided to buy V-Strom Black. Thank you for all the videos and hopefully i've made a good decision.😁✌
congratulations, dont forget PDI and be vigilant while taking delivery.
@@HELMETDUDE Jii Sir. 100%
Whats PDI?
@@utsavprabhakar5072 th-cam.com/video/UYKoZXRdcY0/w-d-xo.html
here you go!
I'm too a happy owner of V-strom. It is indeed the best decision you have made.
Organized and well presented Helmet dude. 👍👍
Thank You Akhil
Hello sir,
On forums, some owners are reported very high vibrations at 6000rpm after first 2 services.. It is inherent issue with this engine with sf250 and Gixxer 250 aslo.
I'm glad yours is very smooth overall rev range.
Bro, peeche wala brake intentionally waise hi hota hai bekar nahi hote for sure. You can't compare the front brake with the rear one. There is a logic for it.
Rohit ✅✅✅✅So pure Review, tum baakiyo jese nhi ho skte review m pura review tumne bike chlate hue diya h yaar awesome, m lete lete rh gya ye bike , then i purchased Reborn Classic but fir bhi m saare vlogs dekhta rhta hun iss bike k spacially tumhare. One more thing your Voice is made for moto vlogging 👌👌
Thanks Rajat! Thank you for your comment. And congratulations for your reborn classic❤
Lovely review. Totally enjoyed it. You have given us the most detailed and honest take on the bike. I was contemplating whether to buy it or not. Thanks to you, I’M BUYING IT FOR SURE.
Suspension are bit hard, but it can soak many bad patches.
U can also feel, when you are riding it under 50 then only u can feel small pot holes and rumblers, but if you will push it above 75 then you won’t feel anything underside of your bum.
It may be vary from person to person because I am around 90kgs, that’s why many reviewers saying it’s suspension works best with pillion
I mainly use on highways and only in the cities when i am leaving the city for other state 😅 so majority on highways, i find it the same i mentioned in video. This bike connects well so if you ride it like xpulse on bad patches, one should have balls of steel! 😂 I have felt that it's still better on off roads if you stand and ride but not so good in city if tarmac has bad patches, so that's said, i won't pick this for city.
I was honestly waiting for this
5:41 this thing you'll also find in Honda CB500X.
Only problem with SX 250 is the Price
270K Is quite high (i guess)
Honda's CB200X is priced at 175K
If Suzuki Manages to sell it within 250K It would be a great choice.
Gixxer 250 At 230K
ya completely agree, price is too much. Overvalued product but i bought it around 245k with promising behaviour from staff and really friendly.
Very nice review👌
I will buy the VStrom 250 SX if Suzuki increase the suspension travel, increase the tank capacity to 15 litres, slightly taller handlebars with a revised peg position for ease of riding when standing up on the pegs, also give switchtable ABS, a bit more low end torque and a stronger light.
Hello bro nice and crisp informative video . Willing to buy this bike ? How is the suspension in city ride like bumper and small potholes ? Will you recommend it for daily usages . Is it better over hunter 350 over daily commuting? Please reply 🙏
How is the suspension in city bumper to bumper ? Is it stiff or comfort ? Would you recommend for city use if not then why ?
best review it really helps . ppl like us want these types of reviews to get a good judgement that which bike we should actually consider . thank u dost .
Thanks Ronak, thanks the for supporting and positive message.
Well concised review!
Thanks Vijay

Your Apache 4v is very precious and beautiful than Suzuki because you got tonnes of love from your Apache only
Apache lovers like here
good to see your message shiva.
Thank you
Beautiful Explanation of the bike ❤️ I don't feel anyone would watch another video for more information regarding this bike...
thanks for the comment, glad you liked the video.
I am planning after this review
Briefly explained ❤️ also missed an important section "Head light" when it comes to touring head lights are most important.. If possible do a separate video on it 😁
For sure, the features, pros & cons, will cover in the next video. In this i tried to cover ride & performance.
@@HELMETDUDE waiting bro 😍
I really like this bike 👍
Bro Apache 160 4v bs6 ka idle rpm kitna hai???
Hi I bought the bike one month ago 1st service is is due. I am facing a engine issue. It feels quite rigid and feels like the engine is always braking and a odd sound can be heard. Will it be fixed after 1st service or is there some other problem?
Hey buddy? Did the issue Got fixed after service? I'm planning to Buy this Beautiful machine
just finished kerala to himachal 6000 plus km. Tire flat twice. Make sure radiator is clean always.
Hats off, and congratulations for such a long ride that too on this bike. More than a year, clocked more than 15k and still no puncture, touch wood ;)
Xpulse or Vstrom, I am 6'1 andy priority is comfort. My usage will be travelling to office which 80 Km up and down and highways rides on weekends.
xpulse would be better, in your case you can also test ride highness or RS, chalo ek baar, mazza aa jayega.
Dope intro 🎉😮
Is engine heating normal even after riding as little as 5 kms?
Appreciate an answer
Not really.. i ride 15 kms daily to office.. highway n city..
During Summers yes u can feel a bit heat other days it's fine
Chennai ❤
Brother I'm also planing for this bike... Can u please tell me about spear parts availability of this machine... N is the parts are similar to gixxer 250 ????
iss bike mein agar side panniers air top box lagau to kaise lagegi ?
What about mileage bro
Mujhe gudgudi lagti hai at 104 km/hr in 6th gear. 105 se jyada pe chalaya ni kyonki first service ni hui hai to rpm 6.5k tak rakhta hun. I think I have seen reviews that after 110-115 those vibrations go away. Probably the resonance frequency of that bike is in that range
Same here, I can also feel that sensation around 5-5.5k rpm.. I didn't cross that rpm before my first service. But after the service I feel that those minor vibrations are reduced to an extent. Also, the downshift has become way smoother.
Hi @HelmetDude,
I have been watching your videos.
I request you to please help me out resolving my dilemma.
I want to buy a bike, however I am confused b/w Yezdi roadster and Suzuki v storm 250 sx.
which one should I buy
I liked both of them not sure which one to go for.
I want to buy roadster but worried about the maintenance cost and service issue.
I am a Happy owner of Bajaj Avenger 220 and pulsar 150 which I have used for 13 years.. and now want to change.
I am looking for a bike which I can drive for many many years .😅 Could you please help me out
Never ever buy the Yezdi,you will regret for life
Vstrom Any Day Brother ❤
Without any doubt blindly go for V- strome 💛
Could you please explain all the accessories you’ve fitted, where you fitted it from and the cost
Everything is correct 👍👍
All most sab cover kr liya apne thanks for knowledge
Thanks Himanshu, thank you for your message.
Bhai mast review diya aapne. Good progress.
Thanks Mithil
Do these new gen bikes need run-in period?
I believe yes, and when you read their manuals, they say same. 1600km running period. Mentioned in the suzuki sf250 manual. So instead of listening to any reviewer, i would say read your bike's manual thoroughly once you buy your bike, you will not need anyone's advice, your bike manual is your Bible.
@@HELMETDUDE Thanks. Few more questions, how is the rider foot rest position is it forward set? How are the seats and is it ok for long rides with pillion?
Meter reading is same as it has same sensor and same fuel tank, but let me tell you one thing, this reading are just estimation. Reserve means just refuel the tank. No risk. But in case of carburetor it's still safer than FI
@@HELMETDUDE I think you replied on another question
How to enable the rpm light?
I wish it was a 2cy like the international version.
A very good genuine review ...
Thanks DG
Both brake should apply at a same time
Thank for the review, nicely explained, sirf one thing puchna tha ki, during long ride leg and waste pain hote hai ya nahi
legs you have to stretch after 2 hours of sitting. You will feel pain in wrist and hands a little.
Is the clutch light ?
No
It was a wonderful review
Hey, Thanks for the wonderfully detailed review. Exactly what I was looking for😀
Just wanted to know your height. I guess you're using the default seat only
.
5'9
Genuine review
And what about maintenance cost??
Undr 2k
Dude i want offroad and long ride bike which is better himalayan or v-strom. plz give me a suggestion dude
Wait for few more months, new Himalayan and adv's are coming, then decide 🍻👊
Which model is this? 2023?
Bro.. windshield extander kon sa hai..?
Pro spec brand from Amazon!
Will this bike be comfortable for pillon for 100km rides? Mostly highway no offroading.
Also is vstorm is good bike for bangalore and nearby 200km spots for touring?
definitely yes, visit showroom and get to know more by taking test ride.
Thanks. Also can you help me with a good helmet for touring. You mentioned in the video that normal helmets don't help with high speeds
@@utsavprabhakar5072 if budget no issues, MT 4SV, or maybe budget ones from MT. If budget is 5k around, visit offline store and try LS2 ff series, or Axxor. Avoid SMK, and other brands in the first place.
Hi brother, do you think this can easily go steep uphills with a pillion and luggage? Like the extremely steep roads in ghat and mountains
absolutely.
Very nice review😊
Thanks Ashraf for the message. Ride safe
Vai a bike lene hi wala tha..jaise apko dekhkhe Apache li thi..but budget Jada tha to gs 310le li
Read on tbhp that the 250's from Suzuki start vibrating after 6000kms, especially when it's hot. It's a balancer shaft problem and suzuki had recalled some bikes. Is the Strom also facing the same issue?
called some bikes? do they have any proof? in my case no such problem till now.
@@HELMETDUDE they actually recalled some gixxer's and sf's. I am just asking because I am looking forward to buying the bike.
Since u have check dominar400 also before vstrom right? So why this and not dominar 400
i love dominar too, i selected this after so much of thought process and confusion. what you going through right now, it was same with me. But finally i picked the new thing in market, suzuki brand engine and wanted to not get into bajaj after sales service, with this bike i found very genuine and helpful sales and after sales service. You will get the idea after seeing my other motovlogs on vstrom to suzuki service center.
@@HELMETDUDE thanks bro. i have suzuki GS150R till now since 2013 completing 1lakh KM.
Now want to upgrade so wondering which one to go to and how VSTROM will go.
Hi DUDE !!! What is that thing on your handle bar? a small bag or cover ?
Handle bar bag
Bhai isme speedometer error hai kya?
6kmph i felt, but its almost in every bike.
In TVS apache i felt around 10kmph difference.
I'm confused between a v storm sx and Honda CB200X. My ride is mainly in low traffic city condition and other than that around 300km weekly on highway and state roads comprising of 70km one side. Missing dual channel abs and a little less power are the only things stopping me from choosing the Honda outrightly. I feel the vstorm is little overpriced for me as I wouldn't be touring at all. What should I do??
Same
@@averagehuman_1 I ended up buying the Suzuki.
@@firozz15 how is your experience till now ?
@@firozz15 i want to buy a bike too and currently confused between hness cb350 and vstrom
@@averagehuman_1 couldn't have been better.
Did you change the handle bar? If o which one and where did you get it?
No, nothing changed.
Best review ❤
Thanks Suraj, means alot! which bike you ride?
Recently I’m riding my sccoty… but after watching your video next month I’m gonna buy v Strom…. And I’m a small travel filmmaker my channel name … Life of Suraj …🤗
@@lifeofsuraj8486 sure, will look into it 👍
@@HELMETDUDE thank you so much 🙌
Windshield ke vajah se aage ka view nahi dikh ta proper 😊
Is this good od for 5 feet 7 inch height guy ???
its okayish
Night driving ya headlight ke bare mein To Kuchh bataya hi nahin bro...🗣🗣
sorry buddy, video was only about ride experience, surely will share my opinions on its features as well.
BEST REVIEW DEAR
Thank you very much !
Bhai Saab.. GJ01.. Ahmedabad ki Gadi..😂😂 kaha se ho bhai aap ?
ahmedabad
Some TH-camrs say , It is overpriced. What are your views?
Make a test ride review on sf250 please , because I think you r very loyal to your work ( जो जैसा है वैसा ही बताते हो ) . So please make it . I trust you 🤍
As soon as possible, sure.
Take your time , I m waiting 🙂
Bro please drive using both hands at all time.
I booked XMR, but didn't like the test ride much. So I went to Suzuki to take a test ride of Gixxer 250 and I got a quote of 2.3L (+ free riding jacket, helmet) for the SX. Do you think it's worth the money considering all your experiences? It would really help me.
Acc to me Definitely a better experience and ride quality you feel on this as compared to xmr. If you want better option than this in adv, ktm 250 would be an another versatile option. If city,then there are lot of options.
@@HELMETDUDE thanks for the reply! My ride is mostly on highways, broken roads of rural areas, some city also and I plan to take the bike on long stretches, tours sometimes. Is there any naked bike that can serve the purpose? Budget is 2.5L but the more money I can save the better so below 2L is also good if serves the purpose quite a bit being a VFM product.
Sorry for the long question 😄.. I would really appreciate your help here
@@anubratapradhan2685Just a random opinion from a random guy... If you want a budget ADV then you can go for Hero Xpulse 200 4V.....
And if you want a budget naked bike and you want to tour a bit also then...You can go for RTR Apache 200.....
But due to your Mid-high end budget....I agree with Helmet Guy here that KTM will be a very good choice for you.
@@sankhasubhrarao192 thanks for the suggestion. I needed a bike that can go miles comfortably. Neither did I need a pure off-roader like the Xpulse nor am aggressive machine like the KTM. So went with the Suzuki as it seemed a good value more money at 2.3L. It's been two months and I'm satisfied with it so far.
Hi bro ... I m serious buyer of this Bike .... can we adjust the suspension?
Yes
From kathmandu nepal I already rode 45000 kilometers
😂 zordaar
@@HELMETDUDEbhai thoda guide kro yaar mt15 or vstorm mei smjh ni aara
Anyone heard clicking or thumping sound from front suspend in normal potholes.
From the front side of the bike?

Is it good for cruise around 100-110kmph?
yes
Hello Brother
Can you advice with about Vstroom purchase.
Showroom is providing me with may 2022 model with some discount on it..
Should I go for it?
Wait for few more videos , it will help you choose better.
@@HELMETDUDE I’m watching all of your videos and will continue watching your videos
But please tell me should I go for may 2022 model according to chassis number provided on the bike.
I have gave booking amount to them.
@@jayeshpatel139 okay if you have made up your mind about this bike then ya you can buy anytime because anyhow there is no update in model, so whether you buy this year or next year, no hardware changes. Now it will be based on stock, whether you get the old stock already there in showroom, or you get the new one. So that is completely in the hand of showroom ppl.
@@HELMETDUDE Thank you for prompt response brother👍🏻
2:49 "lets talk about engine... chugra bughra hura hara gara" good thing title is in english so its not misleading at all that the vid is in english aswel
Is there any update is coming on Vstrom or else as same from 2023 production
No i guess, but you will get any news from suzuki if there are any changes.
@@HELMETDUDE Yes from next month onwards the 2023 model will start production and there is update in engine ( fuel norms) *sales manager said that and also there no vehicle for Bookings
@@puneethkovi2127 showroom kya bol raha hai uspai vishwaas karoge toh baki logo jaise kahin aisa na ho ki test ride wali bike mil jaye, i meant check suzuki website, their social media handles, news from genuine channels, not showroom and their managers. all the best.
Front break ke wajaha se bike flip to nahi hogi?
pulsar thodi hai 😅
Important question brother. Is the colour of the exhaust pipe is faded near the engine?
That's a catalyst converter, it's like that in almost all fi bs6 bikes so don't worry.
@@HELMETDUDE I love my VStrom. But only within 10 days of delivery the corner section of the pipe is faded.
@@bhagyadharsahu5381 that's cool, its normal. Himalayan dekhoge toh woh toh pura hi rang badal deta hai 😂, this is still visible in top part of the section.
Windshield extension kaisa hai
its really useful

5.4 height person can ride this bike??
Ya sure, but it will be hell uncomfortable for new riders, and a little challenging as well.
@@HELMETDUDE thank u so much for your reply. I am watching your vlogs since 10 months. If I want to buy a bike that is v strom. U have inspired many of us through your brief explaination 😍. Thank u. What kind of challanges we can expect as a rider??
