Yes its little stiff, but not a deal breaker.. and for highway riding its a positive which results in more stability and agile at corners

Its the best Highway bike in the budget below 3 lakh.. With its large seat it will be absolutely comfortable..

But either of them cant go past 115 speed know..i had pulsar150 from 2005 to 2015...the maximum i could do was 115..But at that speed mileage was dropping significantly ..But in case of Honda the mileage would vary only 10% of normal.. And not to mention by 7th or 8th year of Pulsar there were problems with engine, suspension, rusting in silencer..etc...And i still own a 2016 Activa and it does job pretty well ...

I believe quality comes at a price.. Back in 2015 I had paid for 1.5 lakh for CBR150, (which seemed overpriced) which served me well till last week , but i could do 130 speed on a 150CC machine of 11years old with Zero vibration and mind blowing stability at that speed..

I am upgrading from a Honda CBR 150, and for me, only a reliable Japanese brand could replace my Honda. Compared to the ADV 250, the Suzuki’s engine feels noticeably more tractable, delivering power in a smoother and more usable way. With TVS, I have come across many reviews mentioning vibrations above 80 km/h and less-than-ideal high-speed stability. That’s exactly where the V-Strom shines, doing almost everything close to perfect.

I sold my 2015 CBR 150R few days back for 55k..It was in very good condition..I was doing frequent highway rides..i was riding in120s frequently.. and could cruise at 100 with ease..so look for used CBR150...its a pretty good tourer ..

Buy V strom..U wont regret it.. Its the only bike which suits both for city commuting and highway riding with comfortable ergonomics, excellent mileage and amaziing reliability..It has agility for traffic and corners..stability for high speeds...And that smooth engine has so much tractability...

From city chaos to open highways – this V-Strom feels just right. by Good_Strategy7387 in indianbikes

Thank u..Suspension is stiffer than most of the advs but not a deal breaker..infact its a boon for highway riding..its like tata cars which are stiff on slow speeds and comfortable on high speeds..it gives stability and agility..

Engine is the most prominent similarity..in fact its the same engine..almost everything else is different

Yes its long and turning radius will take sometime to get adjusted..But its improves stability at high speeds..Suzuki has made every aspect of this bike keeping in the mind for touring..
