O que os compradores devem saber
Bulletproof 250cc Engine
The DL250 uses a fuel-injected parallel-twin engine borrowed from the GW250, known for exceptional reliability with minimal maintenance needs. It can easily exceed 30,000 miles with basic upkeep like oil changes and valve checks.
Strong Resale Value
The V-Strom 250 holds its value unusually well for a small-displacement bike due to high demand from new riders and commuters. Used examples often sell for 80-90% of their original price within the first two years.
Watch the Coolant Hoses
A known issue on higher-mileage DL250s is coolant hose deterioration, particularly the lower radiator hose, which can crack and cause overheating. Always inspect hose condition and coolant level before purchasing a used example.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"The smartest used small-adventure buy under four grand."
$3,500-$5,500 usedThe DL250 gets unfairly dismissed as a beginner bike, but spend a weekend on one and you'll understand why they hold their value. It's genuinely capable — the 248cc parallel-twin pulls cleanly from low revs, the riding position is spot-on for all-day comfort, and that baby V-Strom styling isn't just aesthetic. It actually handles light gravel and unpaved roads with surprising confidence for a 190kg machine. Used examples from 2017 onwards are plentiful and generally well-maintained — most owners babied them. Check the chain and sprockets hard, because new riders often neglect drivetrain maintenance. The ABS variants are worth hunting down specifically; non-ABS versions exist but aren't worth the savings. Watch for crash damage on the fairings — they're expensive to replace and tell you something about the owner. This isn't a bike you'll outgrow in six months if you ride sensibly. Commuting, light touring, weekend scratching — it handles all of it without drama.
