Re: TU 250
Sales manager Mike told me that there are not yet any accessories for the TU250x.
I guess a cargo net over your "stuff" on the back seat will have to do for now.

Re: TU 250
I agree with the "cheapo" look. The silver spray paint look of the rear frame and the spindly looking rear shock are examples. If Suzuki hadn't raised the price ~$500 from the 2008 price (of the...

Re: TU 250
Thanks, Patrick. You are right about the engine looking smaller. I noticed it in the photos but forgot about the GZ cylinder head covers which are a nice chrome touch.
The seat seemed firmer...

Re: TU 250
Driving home today I saw the new TU-250x in front of Aurora Suzuki in Seattle. I stopped and talked with sales manager Mike. Nice guy. He said that test rides were not permitted unless the rider...

Re: TU 250
You do realize that we are not "attacking" you when we criticize the TU250, right? You seem to take this REALLY personal as if the TU is somehow going to be better than the GZ...WTF...

Re: TU 250
We're getting a cheaper bike with a better fuel delivery system. As far as styling it might be that the cruiser motif is fading a little.
If the chrome trim pieces were actual metal I'd be for...

Re: TU 250
Did the MSRP on the GZ and TU take a major hike? The 2008 GZ, according to the Suzuki website, was $3,250. Both the TU and GZ are now shown at $3800. I thought they were listed at $3600 or $3700,...

Re: Get off the bike!
That sorts of limits the riding days a bit, don't you think? All for the good, I guess.
With summer safely behind, I try to pick the days to look forward to my next ride. Weather permitting and...

Re: Get off the bike!
I think the "inner voice" is good to listen to, but don't stress over it too much if your "hearing" is not as good on some days.
14 months ago I was in a motorcycle accident that has heightened my...

For real, prof ? Then, now you are a Guzzisto !

Re: "Bikers" vs. people who just own bikes
When I put just 4,300 miles on a Sportster over 6 years (!), I just owned a Harley.
When I just put 2,400 miles on a Moto Guzzi over 6 weeks, I am an enthusiast. Perhaps even a biker. :)

Re: TU 250
I'm a lot more interested in the TU than the GZ, which I have ridden. It'll be at the CW show in December here in Seattle. Maybe I can get a Dec 26 deal like you did on your Enfield.
