It would be a bit unfair to call this V-Strom a mere cosmetic job. While the chassis and the engine remain the same as the naked, the rest of the motorcycle is quite different. The styling of the V-Strom SX does remind us of the old simple Suzuki ADVs like the DR-BIG with their sharp small tall beak, sleek fairing and relatively large windscreen design. The LED headlight, though, is the same unit as the Gixxer 250’s. And while the tank area might seem larger, the actual tank capacity is just 12-litres, again the same as the Gixxer 250. The V-Strom SX is based on the Gixxer 250 platform but Suzuki has done quite a few changes to make it more than just a slap-on job. Suzuki has managed to price the V-Strom SX quite well, the new ADV carrying a price tag of Rs 2,11,600 (ex-showroom Delhi).
