        This is an awesome bike, and everyone should consider purchasing it for long rides. It is very comfortable to ride and performs well over long distances. However, there are a few issues with the suspension, meter, and seat height. It would also be better if it had a double stand. Overall, it’s a great bike for touring.

        I've been using the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 for the past two years, and it has proven to be a fantastic machine with many strengths. The engine is smooth, refined, and extremely reliable. You get a solid mileage—around 38 kmpl on highways and 32–33 kmpl in city traffic. Fit and finish are top-notch, giving it a premium feel. NVH levels are well controlled, with only minor vibrations at the foot pegs above 90 kmph. Most importantly, it’s built for comfort—you can ride it all day without feeling tired. Overall, it’s an excellent bike for both city commuting and long-distance touring.
