Hi Ashish, i think with a height of 5'4 you wont be comfortable, your feet will be tip toe, and in rough terrains it will get difficult for you to manage the weight because of the height. The new Himalayan gets around 30kmpl average on highways.
Thanks for the appreciation ❤️ For a beginner i would go for pulsar f250 as its good for daily commuting, will give good mileage, service cost will be less of bajaj and bike will be easy to maneuver in traffic.
CB200x is good option..good qaulity and you can do mild off roading on weekends..bigger tyres..less weight. USD, all LED set up. only missing dual channel ABS..else good one
@@shrikantkulkarni2992cb200 is too slow for a tourer. That bike never made sense to me. In engine performance point of view 200x and vstorm are different class at all. I have rode both and easily there is huge difference. The good part is you can take 200x offroad good mileage well its a honda and smoothness as bhp is controlled.
I usually ride at least 2 times in a year from Meerut, (Delhi NCR) to Bangaluru ( Banglore) , 2300 kms in 40-52 hours( depending upon the time of year) on my duke 390 ( purchased in Dec 2013 first hand and have clocked 1.73 lakh kms) and thrice on my yamaha r15 V3 abs ( Purchased first hand in Jan 2019)... My question is can this V strom 250 run 1500 kms in 18 - 20 hrs ( this time includes refilling for both man and machine )??? I am a 56 yo who does long rides. Apart from these I also own z900 ( TFT with riding modes) + Kawasaki er6n non abs + Aprilia sr 150 non abs, all first hand.
First thank you sir for such a great question and respect for you to be 56 yo and do such long rides 🫂 and you literally have my dream bike Z900 ❤️ So i basically see myself in you when i get to 56 🙂. To answer your question definitely the Vstrom can do what you asked, personally I have done Mumbai to Bangalore approx 1200 kms in 18 hours including fuel, rest and food breaks. Definitely you can amp up the bike and do more with it. You can easily cruise at a speed of 100-115 with less to no vibrations because of the refined engine. Hope that answers your question.

As you were previous gixxer 150 owner does not you feel this 250 engine is more noisy and have more vibration in low/mid range compare to gixxer 150. I also own gixxer 150 and planning to upgrade to this . When i test rode this vstrom rented bike i feel that handle is tight , engine has more noise and vibration in low/mid range as compared to my gixxer . Was that because of rented bike rough use or you also feel the same
In my opinion both the gixxer and vstrom have the same engine refinement and vibration. Just the 250cc produces more power. As you also are a gixxer owner you must be understanding what i am saying. Take a test ride at the showroom you will get a clear picture. 🙂 Do subscribe for more vstrom content.
Thanks for the appreciation, do subscribe❤️. Top box I've purchased from an offline store. I've mentioned the same in my Accessories video. Its a JDR 45L top box.
Yes that's a great option, although the meteor is 350cc the weight to power ratio is bad hence meteor will give less power, less mileage, RE service cost is high, and many more reasons to buy anything other than RE
Hey man . How to connect with you. I live in mumbai too. Wanted to ask you a few questions aboht this bike . Was to buy it in 2022. But decided against it. Planning for it again.
Hello, side thigh pads are from Grip On, they don't sell it directly but you can get it at any bike helmet & accessories shop. Do leave a sub, it will really help me 🙂
@@baishya775 Thanks for the sub ❤️Grip on wont sell you directly, they will sell you their products through their retailers only. Contact your nearby helmet and accessories shop you will get it there
Ok. Thankyou for your response. And one more thing what is the model no of that pro spec extender? Please make a video on the customization /modifications
@@baishya775 Hey your wish is granted, just posted a video on all the modifications, do have a look😊 And sorry i dont know about the model number, as i bought it from store.
Hi, are you talking about the rim stickers? I got it done from my local sticker shop. Ill be uploading a video soon about all the add ons. Please subscribe ❤️
Hi Karan, yes you are right 100 kmph is very easy to cruise on, but speaking from experience i was able to cruise on 120 with a pillion on the national highway towards Mahabaleshwar. The 6 gear is helpful for cruising.
@@MotoStromImran Yeah i agree with you but they should have tuned the engine just like the hero xpulse which used the same 200cc engine used in Xtreme 200 but they have tuned it just like honda does on their bikes in different countries.

Best line - from front it looks like hulk and back like spiderman 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha😝 Stating facts here😝
Would love to hear the review of fuelx on vstrom! 😊
Hi,
Can you please let me know about the accessories. Where you got it from and the prices!!
Hi, i will be making a separate video soon, please subacribe, sucaraib, surbike, subscribe and stay tuned
Does the windshield vibrates between 3-4000 RPM when you pull the bike initially???
Very minor vibrations are there which wont matter much, otherwise the quality of the plastic and fit is very good.
Hi, i am 5ft 4inchs himalayan will be good or this one and also another question what mileage will i get in himalayan 450
Hi Ashish, i think with a height of 5'4 you wont be comfortable, your feet will be tip toe, and in rough terrains it will get difficult for you to manage the weight because of the height. The new Himalayan gets around 30kmpl average on highways.
I TD it last day, I am 6.4 so no issue for me but it is not made for short people's,
Please take a TD before purchase
Loved the review 👍
For a 5 ft 10 inch beginner, which would you recommend mainly for city commutes- VStrom, CB 200X, Pulsar F250?
Thanks for the appreciation ❤️
For a beginner i would go for pulsar f250 as its good for daily commuting, will give good mileage, service cost will be less of bajaj and bike will be easy to maneuver in traffic.
CB200x is good option..good qaulity and you can do mild off roading on weekends..bigger tyres..less weight. USD, all LED set up. only missing dual channel ABS..else good one
Wow it doesn't come with abs? Damn that's bad... Abs is a must and for a beginner i think abs is very crucial what do you think?
@@MotoStromImran I was talking about CB200x, it comes with single channel ABS only. Vstorm is over priced.2.5 L for V storm and 1.8 for Honda CB 200x,

Does this has vibration around 40-60 during city riding
No
how about the heating in this bike city and highway?
No heating on highways, minimal heating in very heavy traffic.
Nice ownership vlog. Can you pass the link for top box. Thanks.

I will purchase meteor 350 in this price point but heavy and less mileage compair to suzuki...

Hello, you can follow and message me on Instagram - motostrom_imran
Correction.... replacing with lower seat costs 1000 Rs and its official suzuki accessory.. no need to lower the entire bike !!
Thanks for the correction buddy 👍
Buddy i'm 5'3", lower seat height? Upto how much mm its adjustable? 😊
It will reduce the seat height from 835mm to 810mm so basically it will get 25mm lower.

100 kmph is okay and 120 is not on vstrom
Hi Karan, yes you are right 100 kmph is very easy to cruise on, but speaking from experience i was able to cruise on 120 with a pillion on the national highway towards Mahabaleshwar. The 6 gear is helpful for cruising.
Suspension is good
I would say it's decent but not good.
Engine vibrations ?
Very less
Nicee bike!!😍😍
isn't it the gixxer 250 with new clothes.
Yes we can say that, but in my view all bikes are like that only, companies today hardly puts a 100% new assembly line for their new bikes.
@@MotoStromImran Yeah i agree with you but they should have tuned the engine just like the hero xpulse which used the same 200cc engine used in Xtreme 200 but they have tuned it just like honda does on their bikes in different countries.
Mine only 30 kmpl 🥲
What do mean by 35 ka mileage? Bhasha sudharo pura Hindi me bolo na. Angrej bahut kam hai is desh me
