I use same bike of 2022 model. Isme left side pulling ka issue thodasa feel hota hai jab ab handle bar chodte ho. Gear shifting is somehow hard mera bike 20000km chl chuka hai 4 5 service hua hai fir bhi facing this issue. This is not totally off road bike but ha agar highways ki baat kro you can easily do 800 to 1000 km per day. My longest ride was 10 days 4000km that to solo n bike me khi bhi kuch bhi issue nhi aya. Service cost bahut kam hai. Millage 32 to 35 tk milta hai below 7000Rpm and speed 100 105 ke bich me rehta hai 7000rpm me. This is very good bike for beginners jo long distance touring n touring bikes me ana chahte hai. N best part bike faltu ka kharcha nhi karati no extra cost of Maintance.
I owm this bike & clocked around 11k kms in 7 months, and I'm getting 32-33 in complete city mileage and 39-41 in highways when cruising around 90-100kmph, engine is very refined & best for touring in this segment.
I own a suzuki gixxer sf and I must say, Suzuki only cares about selling scooters in India; they are least bothered about the motorcycles. They make good and reliable motorcycles, but their aftersales service is not at all satisfactory. I have never faced any issues with spare parts though, spare parts are usually available in metro cities.
Hlo sir I was waiting for your review on this bike for long time I saw you were riding with Digvijay sir you both are my true biker ideal I own this bike for 10 months and i loved it Thanks for sharing your views on V strom 250
A Great Review By Bulu Sir and a major point which he stated that it's better on Highway than the Scrambler 400x. I am a VStrom Owner and really enjoy my ride on my Yellow VStrom.
Mera vstrom 250 with 80 to 100 speed mai 40 aa raha hai aur banglore city traffic mai 35 ka aa raha hai.did mild to moderate offloading and the bike is damn good.
12 months and 20k on the odo, only issue is low end torque that can be seen when climbing ghat roads. Plus points are reliability, long distance touring, rider treiangle, stability, ease of maintenance. I did 900km in single day and mostly do 500km per day. There is very very little oil leak in right side head due to head gasket getting slightly melted. Left side pulling is present so hand less drice is not possible. Still its stable. Riders less than 5.8 dont get because one fine day with full load and a pillion, on a slope after a hard days ride, the bike will fall. Short riders can definittly manage but one fine day bike will fall.
@adilismail3593 5.8, don't get if you are doing offload with luggage. Bike will fall. Only highways is good when tiptoeing. Don't listen to others. A loaded bike will mostly fall one day or the other when rider is tiptoeing and with pillion.
Spot on review sir. I own a v-strom 250 and it’s been almost 2 years riding it. I agree with you 100%. As you said after 130kmph or 7000rpm the engine starts to vibrate a lot. But I would like to differ with you on one thing and it would be mileage, you see i have ridden it in the city and on highways and have taken it off road as well but i only ever got the lowest mileage was 27 kmpl and that was before the 1st service was done. This is just my experience sir, please don’t take it as a jab to you😅. And about the gears, they are still hard to shift even after 15k kms😂.
Absolutely brother u r correct, even these bikes were new nkt much ridden so may be after 2nd service or so the efficiency will be better, btw my 26-27kms mileage was only when I rode real fast for the whole day
Mileage will fall down to 22-25 if ridden @130-140. I have Gixxer 250 and noticed it. For a city like bangalore, and other normal highway cruising, mileage doesn't fall below 29 and averages at 37kmpl.
Thank u bulu bhai... I'm waiting for this review from a very long time ago... As I'm an owner of Vstrom SX250.... Im totally agree with ur review... Yes it's not build for off road.... But feels very good whenever I ride my bike in highways ... Big bike feel leni hai or budget jyada nahi toh u can go for Vstrom Sx 250❤️
Bought this bike in June 12th, have completed a 1400km round trip on her. Absolute mile muncher extremely comfortable seat while not a off roader but with a pillion it can go over speed breakers and broken terrain much easier. Definitely a great purchase. Love the tiers. I also got avg 38 through the trip tho I did ride around 90 most of the time.
I bought this bike in Dec. it’s mile muncher.. After 1st servicing at 750km, I drove it from Pune to Hyderabad for continuous 9 hours with 2 chai breaks.. absolutely loved it. Way better than tb350 I owned earlier. This is good for daily commute, highways, ghat sections. I am getting 38km/ltr when I drive between 90 to 110kmph Many more miles to go..
I agree with most points 👉 especially about the hard gear-shifting since i have the old Gixxer 155 2017 version carburetted 😎. That cat is scary 😂, i have had problems of false neutrals in it while putting it into 2nd gear out of nowhere 😅. The gearbox is hard and notchy even when the bike has done 24.5k kms . Its a Suzuki gixxer character now , can't change it. But the engines are refined, raw and reliable low maintainence beast . The 155 or 250cc bikes are more about midrange actually with a decent topend since they are air-cooled and oilcooled properly. But yes the oil-cooled engine is unique in 250-450cc segment with oilcooling jacket with external oilcooler and a radiator fan to cool down the engine further real fast. And that's the reason why its so expensive compared to other bikes in around its segment. Its sophisticated adavanced oil cooling sets it apart from the competition. And yes the quality is great on Suzuki gixxer series and V-strom 250 models in India that's why they are a little expensive over competition.
Proud owner of this bike.. the facts that this bike attracts lots of eyes on road is very true, people doesn't hesitate to drool their eyes over my bike as I pass them on roads.. one of the reasons is due to the rarity of this bike on roads.
Hey Bulu, Nice that you finally posted your views on this bike. I just recently bought it and I'm very happy & satisfied with it. You're right, it's an "Adv Tourer". Agree about the fuel tank capacity, though. A slightly larger tank would've been ideal. But as you said, you can't beat Japanese reliability, for sure along with the engine refinement. Thanks for this!! Ride safe & tc!
This bike is very good bike..this bike parts are so good better than ktm and suzuki's parts so cheap thn ktm....no vibration..milege 80/90... 38/40...first service cost 900inr...and now on road kolkata 2lakh 45 thousand in cash
Bulu bhai is a very good and genuine reviewer but there are few things i want to clear : I own a VStrom 250 since last 21 months. Last Jan i did Mumbai - Indore - Ujjain - Mumbai around 1800 kms approx my speed was bt 90 to 110 80% of the ride. I got an average of 41kmpl and its almost correct aft calculating in terms of Money i spent on petrol. Even in mumbai traffic i get around 35 to 37 always. And i think who rides 130/135 the whole day for a long ride,its good to ride for few minutes to enjoy. Very high speeds actually is very very unsafe for our Indian roads,90/100 is enough. About Power,it is enough for a 250 cc engine. If you want more power go for higher CC bike. And the bike is purely meant for 80/85% long rides with a good comfort and 10/15% for mild off road. I don't know why everyone compares it with heavy offroad bikes.
Agree with you completely..I have ridden 30k km in last 18 months..got 40 kmpl milage almost every time.. no gear shifting need in low speed when you are in traffic. And honestly I did a lot of off-road rides. I didn't face that much problems.
As an owner of bike, I can say this my two years experience you will never regret owning this bike. This bike can do 90% of the things which we do in our regular life. The mileage and maintenance is the deal breaker I am getting around 42-43 in regular ride and on open highway I used ride in between 70-90 so I am easily getting around 45. The maintenance is very pocket friendly almost half than the ktm adv 250 and marginally less than xpulse also.
Hi Bulu, wanted your guidance here as confused between 3 bikes for daily city commute and weekend Ride purposes. 1. Hiness 350 2. Vstorm 250 3. KTM 25O adv Which should i purchase as avr is alomst similar of three of them.1 is cruiser and other 2 is adv. Pls suggest. Thanks
I can take this bike to Leh or NE ride and this bike would be much more reliable than any RE. It does the basics better than any other bike. This bike is build for people who want a reliable machine, no fancy electronics, doesn't break pocket.
I just got adjusted the suspension to upper side and I feel better than before now although the height has been increased but manageable...if you feel so you can change the seat assembly with non cushioned one...
Which one is better bullu bhai, I loved Vstorm and Yezdi Scrambler. Mostly drive in Bengaluru city and on Mysore/ooty weekend rides. Not really a hardcore off-roader. Want something that super fun to ride bike and shortlisted these after trying all the bikes I aspired to buy.
@BuluBiker Bhai aap k Bangalore me on road thoda zyada hai shayad.. maine abhi 1 month pehle Mumbai me liya.. Bike exchange offer me to mujhe 2.30 lakhs pada (without jacket).. aur mujhe pehle hi pata tha k iska suspension hard hai fir bhi maine liya kyu k mujhe bas highway touring k liye chahiye tha.. aur bhai mai 70-80 km tak max bhagata hu kyu k usually biwi aur bachi k saath ghoomta hu.. to mere liye kaafi acha purchase raha hai considering 2.30 price.. aap k review ki har ek baat maine experience kiya hu.,. excellent review :)
Bulu Bhai, I have honda cb300r since 2022 but so far only ridden as a single rider. Planning to do tours with pillion now. Can you please suggest if I should go for some seat modifications on this or should I switch to some other bike? I like the refined honda engine, the bike's ability to pull in any gear & it's reliability a lot .. not able to make a decision. Your guidance will be very helpful. Thanks.. @BuluBiker A big fan of your content ❤
Bulu bhai, What do you think of Pulsar F250, in comparison with V-Strom 250 ? It is cheaper, has similar highway ability, Ground clearance is less (but experienced riders can do with that much, i guess), Spare parts availability is better than Suzuki.
Pulsar f250 is suitable for city rides and short highway rides, meanwhile Suzuki is suitable for city and long Highway rides. bajaj offers good service and parts availability. And Suzuki offers everything bajaj doesn't
@BuluBiker Plz make a detailed ride review of Honda CB300R nd also information regarding Bigwing service nd spare parts availability in Bangalore Plz🙏🏻 waiting fr this review
@bulubiker sir I want to purchase a bike this year, what would you suggest for 2025? Xpulse 210 or Vstrom sx ???? My purpose is daily commuting and weekend long tours on highway! And little bit offroad
I own a vstrom. It linearly accelerates upto 110 and starts slowing after but can go relatively linearly upto 120-125. I have also ridden xpulse on highways. The major difference apart from power is that after the speed of 85 kmph in xpulse it feels like the wheels are leaving the ground. like even if you want to take a turn and move the handle right, the bike will keep going straight as the wheels are in the air type feeling due to softer suspension. baanki vstrom is an excellent starter tourer but after a year you will start feeling that it is slightly underpowered
@@aakashm.2495 If you are a highway rider and long tourer and want some offroad features and bad patches, do not think twice. xpulse is nowhere close to vstrom if you can let go of extreme offroad requirements. and yes you can do more than enough off roading for a casual rider. only go for xpulse if you do off roading for passion else no advantages. rest is your choice
@@aakashm.2495xpulse I have I love this bike but it's seat is narrow so not too much comfortable for long ride , and for pillion it's uncomfortable even in 30 min ride. But overall I've done 8k so far and bike is good and light and amazing for off road. In highways power feels lacking a bit.
I own Gixxer 250 naked version I've touched 146km/h (using motul 7100) engine wasn't stressed at all. Suzuki's ecstar engine oil is not good enough for this engine.
Been waiting for this review from your side 😭 Bulu Bhai can you please suggest me which would be great for me my budget is around 2-2.5 and iam confused between RE hunter and Vstrom. My height is 5.8 that makes me a bit tall for hunter and bit short for vstrom. Please reply Bhai ! Btw love your videos ! Thanks a ton for reviewing this bike ❤
M the owner of V Strom 250 sx .. whatever you mentioned as negative point that's correct only but you know the basic things like fitting, build quality, vibration, control on roads are superb. And more on that you can take this anywhere without thinking any issues like how RE and use to have almost in every RE bike . Only two negative noticable 1st is suspension travel should be more because it's make you feel that something hitted on road and that can be easily fixed if you are using air seat . 2nd chain always required to be cleaned after 500km otherwise it will make noise. But surity is that this bike never break down on any trip like how RE is having 😂.

Bro Yezdi has better off road advantage. Butnissue with Yezdi is slightly vibh engine n Heavy bike. But I will ride soon one n give u a detailed review.
We been riding since from one 15months n rode 28k KM, suspension is hard n starter many times getting malfunction. Bt overall compared to other bikes in this section it's really good one.
@@Rahul-j3g4q thanks for the info, even my bike's chain sprocket has to be replaced, currently running at 14.5k kms, just wanted to know if the running distance for replacement is right...

Bulu Bhau.. can you please compare this with the updated Yezdi Adventure that's launched recently.. which one would you recommend.. 70 %city 30% off-road/trails
@@oporajitoD yes... This is not off road bike... You can do better off roading than normal two wheeler... Best in high way and touring... It not easily get hot, so in traffic, touring is super easy with this...
3:50 I beg to differ. This 250cc engine is crippled with issues, which crops up later, it has balancer issues which suzuki made a recall on just 199 however, more are affected. Suzuki is trying to brush it off. I am very disappointed on suzuki service
Hello Bulu.. Hows this bike for long rides with pillion n with some luggage? Is it good ? Does it lack power if i ride with pillion n with some luggage ?
Hello bulu sir. I have a questions regarding CFMoto bikes. Do you have any experience with their bikes? I am hoping to get the CFMoto 450 MT once it launches in india (in case it launches at all). I am considering the 450 MT because I want a touring motorcycle with some off-road capability with relatively low seat height (since I'm on the shorter side). I've heard the seat height on it is 820mm and it goes all the way down to 800mm when lowerd. I've rode the new Himalyan 450 but that is too heavy for me. KTM Adventure bikes seem like a decent pick but the seat height on those is absurdly high. Is there any other options that I should consider according to you?
Buddy, pls comment on Baj Tri scrambler x 400 ( with updated brake pads) Vs R E Guerilla For 40 km daily city And 300 km wkened rides Minor and insignificant off roading. But plenty of bad city and highway roads.
@Bulu Pattnaik bhai... Honda CB 300F and Suzuki V-Strom 250x inn dono me TOURER ke liye best kaunsa hoga? Which one would go a point ahead in High End Performance? Not too much off-roading and pillion comfort is a must. Which one would you suggest?
Bulu bhai..just 1 more thing..Should i consider Yezdi Adventure..Mere budget me woh bhi ek option hai..! Uska stalling issue hai padha hai across comment sections...Kindly revert.

Left side pulling is a suspension adjustment issue.. they can fix it..

A Great Review By Bulu Sir
and a major point which he stated that it's better on Highway than the Scrambler 400x. I am a VStrom Owner and really enjoy my ride on my Yellow VStrom.

What Bulu Bhai said was correct. If you cruise at 135 kmph (speedo indicated) the mileage drops to 25 kmph.

Sir,
Maine Suzuki V storm ke bohot saare review dekhne k baad...finally Yamaha MT 15 le liya...Now M happy❤
Bulu bhai is a very good and genuine reviewer but there are few things i want to clear :
I own a VStrom 250 since last 21 months.
Last Jan i did Mumbai - Indore - Ujjain - Mumbai around 1800 kms approx my speed was bt 90 to 110 80% of the ride.
I got an average of 41kmpl and its almost correct aft calculating in terms of Money i spent on petrol.
Even in mumbai traffic i get around 35 to 37 always.
And i think who rides 130/135 the whole day for a long ride,its good to ride for few minutes to enjoy. Very high speeds actually is very very unsafe for our Indian roads,90/100 is enough.
About Power,it is enough for a 250 cc engine.
If you want more power go for higher CC bike.
And the bike is purely meant for 80/85% long rides with a good comfort and 10/15% for mild off road.
I don't know why everyone compares it with heavy offroad bikes.
Agree with you completely..I have ridden 30k km in last 18 months..got 40 kmpl milage almost every time.. no gear shifting need in low speed when you are in traffic. And honestly I did a lot of off-road rides. I didn't face that much problems.
Bulu bhai finally… I am telling you to review this bike from 2 yrs from now😊
Was eagerly waiting for this review..
Nice T shirt Bro .. always good to hear views.
As an owner of bike, I can say this my two years experience you will never regret owning this bike. This bike can do 90% of the things which we do in our regular life. The mileage and maintenance is the deal breaker I am getting around 42-43 in regular ride and on open highway I used ride in between 70-90 so I am easily getting around 45.

Reliable engine
Low maintance
Good response till 1oo km/hr
Max speed 100 - 120 in highway

Mostly drive in Bengaluru city and on Mysore/ooty weekend rides. Not really a hardcore off-roader.
Want something that super fun to ride bike and shortlisted these after trying all the bikes I aspired to buy.
Vstrom
@BuluBiker Bhai aap k Bangalore me on road thoda zyada hai shayad.. maine abhi 1 month pehle Mumbai me liya.. Bike exchange offer me to mujhe 2.30 lakhs pada (without jacket).. aur mujhe pehle hi pata tha k iska suspension hard hai fir bhi maine liya kyu k mujhe bas highway touring k liye chahiye tha.. aur bhai mai 70-80 km tak max bhagata hu kyu k usually biwi aur bachi k saath ghoomta hu.. to mere liye kaafi acha purchase raha hai considering 2.30 price.. aap k review ki har ek baat maine experience kiya hu.,. excellent review :)
Had been waiting for your review on this bike since many months 😢
I want to visit leh ladakh which bike is the best, V strome or xpulse ??
Bulu Bhai, I have honda cb300r since 2022 but so far only ridden as a single rider. Planning to do tours with pillion now. Can you please suggest if I should go for some seat modifications on this or should I switch to some other bike?
I like the refined honda engine, the bike's ability to pull in any gear & it's reliability a lot .. not able to make a decision. Your guidance will be very helpful. Thanks.. @BuluBiker A big fan of your content ❤
Is bike ka video apke channel ke liye kab se wait kar raha tha
Bulu bhai, What do you think of Pulsar F250, in comparison with V-Strom 250 ? It is cheaper, has similar highway ability, Ground clearance is less (but experienced riders can do with that much, i guess), Spare parts availability is better than Suzuki.
Pulsar f250 is suitable for city rides and short highway rides, meanwhile Suzuki is suitable for city and long Highway rides. bajaj offers good service and parts availability. And Suzuki offers everything bajaj doesn't
Bulu Bhai, thank you for this video, and your response for my request.
@BuluBiker
Plz make a detailed ride review of Honda CB300R nd also information regarding Bigwing service nd spare parts availability in Bangalore
Plz🙏🏻 waiting fr this review
This is a beautiful machine..offroading means extreme offroading nahi hoga but spiti ladakh wala circuit aram se kr skte hain..
Your video is nicely presented 😊
Special love to you Bulu bhai for Kannada love ❤️
🙏
definiton of offroad might be different for everyone , just add another point if is suitable for ladakh/spiti
Sir I m really confused between vstrom and xpulse 210 which one I should buy.
@bulubiker sir I want to purchase a bike this year, what would you suggest for 2025? Xpulse 210 or Vstrom sx ???? My purpose is daily commuting and weekend long tours on highway! And little bit offroad
Bulu bhai what is your opinion on the left side pulling issue in this bike? Is it normal for all bikes and can be fixed?
Agar sirf touring karni hain toh konsi bike better hogi v storm yaa x pulse 210?
I own a vstrom. It linearly accelerates upto 110 and starts slowing after but can go relatively linearly upto 120-125. I have also ridden xpulse on highways. The major difference apart from power is that after the speed of 85 kmph in xpulse it feels like the wheels are leaving the ground. like even if you want to take a turn and move the handle right, the bike will keep going straight as the wheels are in the air type feeling due to softer suspension. baanki vstrom is an excellent starter tourer but after a year you will start feeling that it is slightly underpowered
Hey, is it worth to spend 40k on Vstorm over Xpulse? Comfort is my priority
@@aakashm.2495 If you are a highway rider and long tourer and want some offroad features and bad patches, do not think twice. xpulse is nowhere close to vstrom if you can let go of extreme offroad requirements. and yes you can do more than enough off roading for a casual rider. only go for xpulse if you do off roading for passion else no advantages. rest is your choice
How is the seat comfort for highway cruising?
@@Indranil_b best in range. however there is a resonant frequency that kicks in at 104 kmph and goes away after 109 kmph approx
@@aakashm.2495xpulse I have I love this bike but it's seat is narrow so not too much comfortable for long ride , and for pillion it's uncomfortable even in 30 min ride.
But overall I've done 8k so far and bike is good and light and amazing for off road.
In highways power feels lacking a bit.
I own Gixxer 250 naked version
I've touched 146km/h (using motul 7100) engine wasn't stressed at all.
Suzuki's ecstar engine oil is not good enough for this engine.
off road ke liye specially bike bahut kam log hi lete hain. jyadatar logo ko city rides and highway rides hi karne hote hain.
Super Tshirt Bulu Bhai.❤
Been waiting for this review from your side 😭 Bulu Bhai can you please suggest me which would be great for me my budget is around 2-2.5 and iam confused between RE hunter and Vstrom. My height is 5.8 that makes me a bit tall for hunter and bit short for vstrom. Please reply Bhai ! Btw love your videos ! Thanks a ton for reviewing this bike ❤
@@Shyr_official for 5.8 height , RE hunter is too small bike .. because I have ridden even it's not noticeable and worst road presence.
M the owner of V Strom 250 sx .. whatever you mentioned as negative point that's correct only but you know the basic things like fitting, build quality, vibration, control on roads are superb. And more on that you can take this anywhere without thinking any issues like how RE and use to have almost in every RE bike . Only two negative noticable 1st is suspension travel should be more because it's make you feel that something hitted on road and that can be easily fixed if you are using air seat . 2nd chain always required to be cleaned after 500km otherwise it will make noise. But surity is that this bike never break down on any trip like how RE is having 😂.
Cheers sir, looks like my observations are quite similar to yours.
As I mentioned, no basic probs or headache like other brands
@@BuluBiker yes correct sir. 👍
How long does the chain sprocket last on this bike??
@@motohead4566 i changed in 15k+ km
Hi
Budget is around 2.3L
1. Dominar 250
2. Vstrom 250

Any suggestions?
V storm for sure.!

Hi brother, its a good bike, suzuki bikes r usually reliable too, the other option please do try the triumph Scrambler once.
Bulu Bhai please upload a video of it with a comparison with new yezdi adventure which is the direct rival.
Already mentioned by bulu bhai offroading nahi kar sakte. Suspension not to good
Bro Yezdi has better off road advantage.
Butnissue with Yezdi is slightly vibh engine n Heavy bike.
But I will ride soon one n give u a detailed review.
@@BuluBiker❤
Omg kannada in your t-shirt,i am from Karnataka.i will buy this❤
Bulu Sir, I bought Himalayan 411 in March 2022. Does it run on E20 petrol? Sir, please guide korna.
i am using 2024 model geting 40 kmpl in 80 to 90 speed.. in city getting 35 to 37 kmpl.. very good for long drives...
We been riding since from one 15months n rode 28k KM, suspension is hard n starter many times getting malfunction. Bt overall compared to other bikes in this section it's really good one.
How long does the chain sprocket last on this bike??
@@motohead4566 we changed 2 times till date, so if we well maintained it will last for 12 to 14 thousand km
@@Rahul-j3g4q thanks for the info, even my bike's chain sprocket has to be replaced, currently running at 14.5k kms, just wanted to know if the running distance for replacement is right...
How is the uphill ride capacity with a pillion ??
Which one is more reliable? Scrambler X or this?
Nice review sir
Love from MARS....
Xpulse 210 kab launch ho raha hai ?
Very accurate review of Vstrom250 👍👍👍
fuel economy i get on highway cruising between 80-100 i get 42-45, and hard riding i get 38, i calculate tank to tank method and i ride 70 km on highway every day since past 8 months
Bulu Bhau.. can you please compare this with the updated Yezdi Adventure that's launched recently.. which one would you recommend.. 70 %city 30% off-road/trails
Bro don’t purchase jawa & yezdi bikes.. third class build quality h.. maintenance cost and fuel cost is almost similar in these shit bikes..
@@chandantiwarit-2858 Thanks for the opinion 🙏
I done 15k with My 250 SX.... Very Very happy with it... 2 years completed and I can easily do another 2 years with this smooth bike...
Suspension stiff hone se offroad me dikkat hoti ha..?
@@oporajitoD yes... This is not off road bike... You can do better off roading than normal two wheeler... Best in high way and touring... It not easily get hot, so in traffic, touring is super easy with this...
3:50 I beg to differ. This 250cc engine is crippled with issues, which crops up later, it has balancer issues which suzuki made a recall on just 199 however, more are affected. Suzuki is trying to brush it off. I am very disappointed on suzuki service
You are telling 3 years old news, please be updated 😂
@@pranavapte5475 doesn't matter if 3 years old or 5 years old. As long as the problem still remains don't be like RE fanboyzzzz man

Hello Bulu..
Hows this bike for long rides with pillion n with some luggage? Is it good ? Does it lack power if i ride with pillion n with some luggage ?
Hello bulu sir. I have a questions regarding CFMoto bikes. Do you have any experience with their bikes? I am hoping to get the CFMoto 450 MT once it launches in india (in case it launches at all). I am considering the 450 MT because I want a touring motorcycle with some off-road capability with relatively low seat height (since I'm on the shorter side). I've heard the seat height on it is 820mm and it goes all the way down to 800mm when lowerd. I've rode the new Himalyan 450 but that is too heavy for me. KTM Adventure bikes seem like a decent pick but the seat height on those is absurdly high. Is there any other options that I should consider according to you?
Bro please tell me Suzuki VStrom 250 VS Honda CB350RS. Which one is best
Adventure tourers VStrom 250 VS Honda CB350RS which one is best
Hi, I am confused between suzuki Vstrom and Yezdi Adventure....? Please can you help me out.
Buddy, pls comment on
Baj Tri scrambler x 400
( with updated brake pads)
Vs
R E Guerilla
For 40 km daily city
And
300 km wkened rides
Minor and insignificant off roading.
But plenty of bad city and highway roads.
Bulu bhai bahut din k bat 1 comment here again!
@Bulu Pattnaik bhai... Honda CB 300F and Suzuki V-Strom 250x inn dono me TOURER ke liye best kaunsa hoga?
Which one would go a point ahead in High End Performance? Not too much off-roading and pillion comfort is a must.
Which one would you suggest?
Eyes closed Suzuki Vstrom 250, 300F is total waste in front of this
@BuluBiker wow Thanks for the firm opinion. But why a waste bhai...the specifications and price are so tempting..!
@ te suspension r really bad on 300f bro, n since its not selling in big numbers, kya patha kab discontinue ho jaye
@@BuluBikerThanks a lot bhai...will go for VStrom coming December.!
Bulu bhai..just 1 more thing..Should i consider Yezdi Adventure..Mere budget me woh bhi ek option hai..! Uska stalling issue hai padha hai across comment sections...Kindly revert.
Hi sir, when we can expect update in V strome 250, If you have any idea ?
Sound 100 %clear mic nice
Is it good for city ride ?
Bulu bhai please make a video on yezdi adventure
Sir, please make a detailed review of Kawasaki W175.......
How was the stock windshield?
@@hiteshts stock windshield is fine it will cover just below of you helmet. Otherwise it's good but if you are getting an after market windshield that would be great 👍
Bulu bhai please make a ride review video of honda cb200x
Sir can i used this for urban commuting and also touring on highway
Yes sir absolutely

Badhia bhai many congratulations
Not at all VFM, heavily overpriced for what it offers - rather go for Honda CB200X//Xpulse 200 & save money for the trips...✌️✌️
Yes, I agree. Both gixxer 250 and this one are very overpriced. Not worth buying it now.
Very good bike, one must take test ride.
