V strom 250

Updated: 11 September 2017 Suzuki’s DL250 V-Strom is more at home on the day-to-day commute than big mile adventures. While the bike looks fantastic and bigger than simply a 250, it is much too underpowered to be fully considered as a tourer and, while it performed well on light off-road, it's far better suited to life on the tarmac. It's friendly, forgiving, and kind on your pocket – perfect for nipping from A to B. 4 out of 5 (4/5) Although I am a complete virgin to off road riding, I found the bike well balanced and perfectly capable travelling down the two-mile stretch of mild green lane on our route.
