2008 Suzuki GZ250 review from United States of America
"The bike delivers what it promises, and does it with style"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Absolutely no problems at all. It's the little engine that can.
General comments?
Bought the bike for the 7 mile commute to work, simply to save $$ on gas. It has turned into my guilty little pleasure, and I find myself sneaking out for quick jaunts and 50+ mile rides.
I stand 6'3" and run about 240, and while it may not be the perfect fit, I can handle a few hours in the saddle without too many problems. Small enough that my wife (5'3" and 110) likes to jump on and take it for a spin.
Is it a long distance cruiser? No. Will it get you quickly and comfortably from point A to point B? Absolutely.
Nice torque curve from the single, gas mileage has been in the mid 60s, and it handles like a dream.
