The Suzuki V-Strom 250, also known as the DL250 (AL and AM), is a dual-sport motorcycle with a 248 cc Straight-twin engine and a standard riding posture. It has been manufactured in China by Suzuki since 2017, as an entry in the lighter adventure motorcycle in the line of the Suzuki V-Strom 650, Suzuki V-Strom 1000 and the Suzuki V-Strom 1050. The DL250 is implemented to compete with the BMW G310R and the 250/300 cc Kawasaki Versys. The DL250 was unveiled in 2017 by Suzuki and was originally intended for the Asian market.[1]

The name V-Strom is chosen to keep the DL250 in line with the other V-Strom models and combines "V" referring to the larger V-Stroms engine configuration with the German Strom, meaning stream or power. Even though the DL250 does not contain a V-twin engine, but a parallel 2-cilinder engine.

The DL250 motorcycle is based on the straight-twin 2-cilinder engine initially designed for the GW250/Inazuma 250 and GSX250R. From its release in 2017 until 2020 the bike was available in the European, Australian and Asian market. As of 2021, the V-Strom 250 is no longer available in markets other than the Asian market.[2]

Features[]

The Suzuki V-Strom 250's design is in resemblance of the larger V-strom bikes, including the beak-like front fairing. With the discontinuation of the non-abs the bike is standard equipped with ABS. The bike is also equipped with an aluminium under cowl, Low RPM Assist and Suzuki Easy Start System. The instruments are displayed on a new full LCD dashboard, which also contains a 12V DC-charger.[3]

Optional equipment[]

Because the Suzuki V-Strom is aimed towards a commuter, daily usage and light adventure market, there are several options a user can choose. The options include aluminium panniers, centre stand, hand guards and mirror extension kits.[4][5]
