I have toyed with the idea of adapting a tractor seat like you described.......but you can't even find them on TRACTORS any more !! :cry:

Re: TU 250
 

Here is a project to consider. Want better seating, try a horse saddle. Way back when, I spotted a GT 750 with a horse saddle and sheep skin cover. Never been a horse rider myself so I do not know how well it might work. Looked kinda cool though.

Re: TU 250
 

Here are some photos of the new TU250 taken yesterday at the Cycle World International Motorcycle show in Seattle.

I liked the look and feel of the TU. I would have bought it but the salesguy said it was the only one in the USA right now. Expect them in March.

Re: TU 250
 

FYI - posted on the GZ250 site on Yahoo by a member there --
"While at the IMS to get a close look at the new TU250, I asked the
Suzuki rep what their plan was for the GZ250. The GZ was on display at
the show, but off by itself away from the TU. With the new bike
stepping into the scene, was Suzuki possibly planning to drop the GZ,
or maybe replace it with the V-twin Intruder 250LC? He would not
commit to an answer, but he did not deny that change might be in the
works. Your guess is as good as mine, but it does seem curious why
they would have two 250 singles in the line?

Btw, Suzuki was by far the standout display at the IMS. The other big
three really looked like they were a dollar short and didn't draw the
same crowds. It looks like Honda has dropped the 250 Nighthawk and
kept the 250 Rebel. The only small displacement bike from Kawa is the
Eliminator 125. Yamaha still has their 250 V-twin in the line. There
are still lots of mastodon bikes which seem a way off the mark
considering the economic situation.

Anybody know any more of this?

Has anyone seen the GZ250s ugly as sin brother the tu250?

In my opinion it deserves the title dork-mobile. It looks like a moped.

Re: TU250
 

First of all I would like to say that I like the TU250, not near as much as I like the GZ, but I still like it. And This will be like the third or fourth different thread dedicated to the TU250.

That dan_ guy sucks. Hes such a n00b.

Re: TU250
 

Got to admit I agree with Dan. The bike just looks so.....preppy. I think a white shirt and neck tie, brown loafers and short khaki pants that allow your white socks to show should be the riding gear of choice for this bike. :roll:

It reminds of of the mid to late 60s when Honda had the "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" ad campaign going full force. I'm sure the male rider in the ad had to be named "Buffy" and the female "Muffin". :lol:

It is a sensible bike though. Look at footage of busy oriental streets....every one seems to be riding a bike that looks like this one if they are not on a scooter.

However it will probably make a great learner bike for the timid.

(The above is an opinion. It's my opinion. Don't bother to try and change my mind by pointing out what a complete idiot I am, quoting stats, showing charts, challenging me to provide facts or evidence.)

Re: TU250
 

It kinda looks like a triumph scrambler.

Merging this topic with the correct one.
