2009 Suzuki GZ 250

I purchased my Suzuki GZ250 in March 2012. This bikes gets about 80mpg and easily goes 70mph plus. I love it!

As a starter bike, it's pretty decent to LEARN on, but not to own unless you honestly are just riding around town. My GZ was great on gas, but horrible going up hills. It could go around 60mph on flat land with my 190lbs, but if there was an incline, the mph dropped drastically and dangerously. I'd ... suggest borrowing a GZ, for sure, but not owning.

Update: Suzuki CService seems to have had a change of heart! GZ250 now in shop getting repaired. If engine and wheel problems solved, then would recommend to a friend. Love the bike. Everything fits just fine. Want to save money? Valve clearance adjustment is easy. Purchased manual and learned ... to do my own. Use double feeler guages. Was told all bikes this size need periotic valve adjustments. Special tools available to make job even easier. Purchased mine on EBay. Thanks.

A classic bike with old school curves, and rides like a gem. Even my buddies with more powerful bikes love my GZ 250 for the handling and the performance of an engine its size. If you have the means get one!

Really nice for beginner motorcycle, life expectancy.
