The Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX is the brand’s entry into the country’s middleweight adventure motorcycle category. And while many correctly base their purchasing decision on a motorcycle’s specifications, some buyers heavily consider the colors their chosen two-wheeled steed will come in.

On that note, we take a quick look at the two available colors of the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX to help motorcycle shoppers make a better buying decision before they splash the cash.

Champion Yellow

The model’s hero color, Champion Yellow combines bright yellow hues with dashes of blue to create a fun and active vibe — a character that the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX embodies.

Yellow fairings can be found on the motorcycle’s front fascia as well as on the side panels surrounding the fuel tank. Similarly, yellow coverings have been applied on the adventure motorcycle’s rear panel.

Thankfully, the use of yellow on the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX was not overdone. Its actual fuel tank, the side cowlings, the seats, as well as the engine guard are finished in black paint, providing the necessary contrast to the vibrant yellow paint.

Reflecting the same fun and exciting color is the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX’s small mid-size peppy engine. In betwixt the rider’s thighs is a 249 cubic centimeter, four-stroke, four-valve, engine paired with a six-speed constant mesh transmission. The fuel-injected, oil-cooled mill makes as much as 26.1 horsepower with 22.2 Newton-meters of torque.

On that note, the powertrain setup fitted in the mid-size off-roader can take its owners to places most motorcycles can’t. The outgoing and outdoorsy attitude of the yellow-painted Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX is backed by its highly capable engine and transmission setup.

Glass Sparkle Black

Those who want to enjoy the same fun experience with the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX while not being too loud about it may choose the Glass Sparkle Black finish.

Replacing the striking yellow paint is a menacing dark hue complemented with similarly intimidating red accents. This — while not entirely improving your visibility on the road — helps give the go-anywhere motorcycle a commanding presence.

The sheen pitch-black paint applied on the fairings also blends well with the black tones used for the standard components of the motorcycle. On that note, the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX in Glass Sparkle Black give off a cohesive look with no part of the motorcycle’s exterior looking out of place.

Some of its standard black parts include the front headlight cowling, the front fender, the side handlebar guards, the semi-angular side mirrors, and its exhaust pipe. Likewise, the motorcycle rides on 17- and 19-inch wheels (back/front) that are colored in black. These wheels are shod in thick 140/70 and 100/90 tires and house disc brakes with an anti-lock braking system.

Final thoughts

Regardless of which color one chooses, the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX still delivers iconic power and performance that can get its owners through most terrains. Thanks to its features, the motorcycle can both be a daily city commuter as well as a weekend companion for trips outside the metro.

The Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX is priced at P229,000.
