Suzuki V-Strom SX
  • Has loads of visual presence and looks like a big ADV bike. Handling is impressive by ADV standards. Relaxed riding ergonomics makes it a great tourer.
BMW G 310 R
  • The LCD console feels dated and out of place on such a premium bike. Limited dealership network. Service costs are still on the higher side.
Suzuki V-Strom SX
  • Stiff rear suspension means off-road performance is poor. Pricing is on the higher side. Flat spot in mid range means one has to work the engine for overtakes.

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better, Suzuki V-Strom SX or Royal Enfield Himalayan?
  • I will definitely go for Himalayan because Royal Enfiled is offering a whopping 400cc engine at lower cost like around 2.7-2.89 lakhs where as V- strom is just a 250cc engine costing around 2.6 lakhs. The didn't like the looks though.
  • One and only answer the most better now Suzuki V-Strom sx ❤️
  • Both vehicles are great in their own forte. Suzuki V-Strom SX has loads of visual presence and looks like a big ADV bike. Handling is impressive by ADV standards. Relaxed riding ergonomics make it a great tourer. On the other hand, Royal Enfield’s Himalayan offers a more engaging riding experience, but you also end up saving quite a lot of money. Himalayan has great ergonomics for touring or stand-up riding, long-travel suspension aids in brilliant off-road riding, spoked rims, and tall ground clearance, switchable ABS helps to lock the rear wheel under off-road conditions. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.
Q. Confused between G 310 R or Street 750?
  • It would be unfair to give a verdict as Harley Davidson Street 750 has been discontinued and is not available for sale now. On the other hand, BMW G 310 R is a great pick. BMW G 310 R is a sportbike with a 313cc motor, it has got excellent brakes, offers good bite, feedback and progression. Features packed bikes are pretty much the norm these days. In BMW G 310 R, you have LED lights all around, Additional comforts include an adjustable clutch and brake levers which will help you fine-tune the lever reach as per your hand size. The handling capabilities of the BMW G 310 R far outweigh the grip of its Michelin Pilot Street tyres. As far as touring is concerned, this bike can sit comfortably at highway speeds of around 100kmph, but anything beyond that begins to feel harsh. So yes, you can use it for long-distance touring. And if you happen to find some poor or broken roads on this tour, the BMW’s excellent ride quality will do a fine job of soaking most of it up. But if pukka off-roading is what you have in mind, considering this bike could be among not so good decisions. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which one is better G310 R or royal enfield metor?
  • BMW 310R is way more punchy as I experienced during the test ride when compared to the Meteor. Also the ride and handling of the 310R was superior as compared to the Meteor. That being said, I finally settled for the Honda CB 350RS which was smoother than the Meteor, but not punchy like the 310R, plus it was about 70,000 cheaper. Also the quality and reliability of the Honda sealed the deal for me in addition to its fantastic looks and sleek silhouettte.
  • Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. BMW has managed to iron out the majority of the issues that stopped us from wholeheartedly recommending the Bavarian naked. It is a delight to ride in the twisties with enough power on tap to thrill you. It is also more affordable now, which bodes well for its positioning in the market. Wish it came with better tyres, though. BMW G 310 R is powered by a 313 cc engine. This G 310 R engine generates a power of 34 PS @ 9250 rpm and a torque of 28 Nm @ 7500 rpm. On the other hand, if we talk about THE thump, which seemed to have been muffled by BS6, is back with RE’s brand spanking new Meteor 350, the successor to the Thunderbird 350. Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is powered by a 349 cc engine. This Meteor 350 engine generates a power of 20.4 PS @ 6100 rpm and a torque of 27 Nm @ 4000 rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
