welcome.

I had a GZ250 and rode it until engine blew up. Had it fixed and rode for another 10k miles before traded it in for an SV.

You will love it.

Welcome, and good bike choice. I had an '02 and loved it! It's a great bike to learn on and sharpen skills - it won't get in the way of your learning like heavier and way powerful bikes can.

Enjoy the ride and take the MSF BRC class too!

My Wife Rides a '02 GZ250. I rode it until I got the M. Great bike to learn on.
She's happy with it for now and easily keeps up cruising at 60/70km (45m).

I ride mine daily, nice bike, good gas mileage. Not much on the freeway but I did ride it on a 500 mi trip and loved the ride.

Great bike for new riders and seems to keep its value.

I have had my GZ250 o6 for about 1 month. Drive it to work every day. Love it. Keeps up with traffic well but wish it had a little more on the top end. all in all its a great bike. Getting about 72 mpg. The bikes more then paying for its self every month.

Nothing in the suzuki road-bike range beats the 250 in fuel economy.

I used to get 70+ mpg on mine. At top speed, it kind of sounded like a lawn mower, though.

Great bike.

I love 250's. When your 1000 miles away from home with stickers from 14 states even the old bearded long hair harley guys welcome you.

Too bad there are not many after market parts for it.
