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.

Suzuki officials have also stated that the "V" was meant to indicate versatility, given the multi-purpose nature of the V-Strom line.

The DL250 motorcycle is based on the straight-twin 2-cylinder engine initially designed for the GW250/Inazuma 250 and GSX250R.

The options include aluminium panniers, centre stand, hand guards and mirror extension kits.
