Hello everyone, I've been looking for a new bike and, after test-riding all the models I shortlisted, I've narrowed my choice down to three bikes:

\- Suzuki Gixxer SF 250

\- Bajaj Pulsar RS200

\- Suzuki V-Strom SX 250

I know that the V-Strom SX shares the same engine as the SF 250. I don't really care about the bike category (sport, tourer, adventure, etc.). After riding many bikes, these are the ones that suited me the best and felt most comfortable for my body type. I'm 5'7" (170 cm) tall.

Here are some of the bikes I've test-ridden:

\- Harley-Davidson X440

\- Suzuki Gixxer SF 150

\- Hero Xtreme 250R

\- Bajaj Pulsar N250

\- Bajaj Pulsar NS200

\- TVS Apache RTR 200 4V

\- TVS Apache RTR 160 4V

\- TVS Apache RR310

\- TVS RTX 300

\- Hero XPulse

\- Yamaha R15

I'd love to hear your opinions on which bike I should choose. I already know the pros of these bikes, so I'm specifically looking for the cons, ownership issues, reliability concerns, maintenance costs, parts availability, comfort issues, or anything else I should be aware of. And please write as much cons as you can .

Please be as honest and detailed as possible. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Hopefully, this discussion will also help someone else in the future who is trying to decide between these bikes. Also I forgot to add one thing I was using a pulsar 180 bs3 ug4 before .
