![]() I am yet to explore different options on the speedometer console. It syncs the bike details like fuel level, odo reading, number of trips, last parked location etc. I tried the navigation feature to a known location, it did not work as I expected. The bluetooth displays name of the caller if you have saved it as a contact, else just the number. The ride poster is a little bit forward compared to KTM ADV, but this is nothing to complain about. Planning to get the headlight focused if possible during my next visit to showroom. Also, when you have a pillion, the suspension goes down slightly and the headlight rises a little bit up. It seems the light beam is parallel to the road. Rather than illuminating the road, I see that it lights up the objects in front of me. Gear indicator sometimes did not show the gear. I had to blip the throttle a little and then slot the bike in first gear. I had trouble engaging first gear in cold engine. The engine pulls effortlessly and smoothly. Speedo meter reaches 100 kmph quickly and without a fuss. I have been riding Jupiter and Ntorq for a while now and I feel this is quite fast. It is a fast bike, especially for someone like me. Objects in the mirror appear closer than they are, objects ahead of you come up faster than you can think. I had parked it at a hotel and I saw one guy pressing the clutch, trying to change gear and trying to get a feel of the seat. A lot of people come up to you and ask OTR, FE and what not. I took the bike out for a small errand, found it difficult to park in small spaces.Īttracts attention. Seats are comfortable for rider and pillion. If you slot the bike in first gear and slowly declutch, the bike will roll forward without any throttle inputs, found this useful in city traffic. Are other V strom owners facing this too ? ![]() Riding in city is not difficult for a bike this big, you cannot weave through traffic easily like you can do on a smaller two wheeler, however its manageable.Ĭlutch is on the harder side, after a while you will start noticing it. I am around 5 ft 7 in, I cannot flatfoot with both legs, but I can manage to tip toe with my regular shoes on, not a challenge there. I am waiting for the number plate and knuckle guards from the dealer else I would have clocked in a few more KMs on it. ![]() My late father too had one of those in blue colour and I was a kid back then, I have very vague memories of it.īelow are my initial thoughts. Started with a TVS Ind-Suzuki of my Dad, moved to Splendor and then Unicorn to Bullet. If I buy it, I will be back on a saddle after 2017 (had a Bullet 500 till then). ![]() ![]() When you find the time do share your initial thoughts on your new bike. Thanks for checking, guess the same across dealers in Bangalore. I am keen on yellow.Īryan also had similar offers that you mentioned sans the jacket. I checked with Aryan yesterday and they have black color for ready delivery but other colors were with 1 month wait time. I am currently based in Bangalore that's why checked with you on the offer you got with the dealers. Also if you have an old bike you can ask for exchange bonus worth 7k. Certain dealers will be willing to give you more discounts if you are not too particular about colour as they want to clear all the stock. I noticed that you are from Chennai, visit a few dealers and get quotes, they often give you competitive quotes if you are a serious buyer. I got free insurance as a part of offer from suzuki and a free riders jacket worth 7k ( yet to receive), the dealer gave me a free wheel sticker ( the one which you can put on the alloy rim ). Wait time depends on the colour that you need and the availability with the dealer. I bought this from apple suzuki, kanakpura road in Bangalore. ![]()
