Suzuki DL250 V-Strom (2017 onwards)

The Suzuki DL250 V-Strom is a lightweight adventure bike that looks and feels more like a bigger motorcycle. It is an easy to ride machine which you can get for much cheaper than some of the alternatives such as the BMW G310GS or Kawasaki Versys X-300.

The motorcycle might fall into the adventure category, but it suits best for everyday commuting. It comes with a large fuel tank that will provide up to 330 miles of range, which is a phenomenal achievement for such a small bike.

Unfortunately, the bike is not comfortable nor powerful enough for long distance touring. Also, the build quality could be better.

A2 Licence Compliance

The Suzuki DL250 V-Strom is a 248cc A2-friendly bike. It has a power output of 18 kW (25 bhp), which is within the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. No restriction is required, as the bike is fully A2 licence compliant.
