I saw "Suzuki" and "250" in the same sentence and IMMEDIATELY thought: "Two-Stroke, YESSSSSS!!!"

But it was not to be.

Looks like a nice little bike though.

Hey, I really like that bike.  Now, if it will only show up in those 'standard' clothes with functional ergos, rather than the 'cruiser' suit the GZ wore.  Just never did it for me.

I'm and MSF ridercoach and this year we bought some new bikes to include some GZ250's. They are nice little bikes. I'd love to try out on of those TU's though to see how it compares (I really like the nighhawk 250's - The TU seems to be set to take them on in the US market).
