Can you actually get up to 90 KPH on the Don Valley Parkinglot? :lol:

I would also suggest trying to keep it in 4th as long as you can before you upshift into 5th.

DMan,

Looks great and sounds like you had a blast. I'm another Northeast Ohioan - from Richmond Heights (Eastern 'burbs). I believe there's also another member on this board from the Akron area.

I got a CL-MAX for pretty much the same reasons. Commuting with glasses is just too much of a pain without a modular helmet. However, there have been instances where the modular chin piece has broken...

I think the biggest part of the GZ250 I outgrew was the braking. After riding my SV650, which the previous owner had upgraded to stainless lines and better pads, going back to the GZ250 was kind of...

GZ250 Tank, Carburetor and Petcock for sale

I had started building up a collection of spare parts from Ebay, but since I sold my GZ250, I don't have much need for these parts anymore. Pretty much looking to get out what I have in these parts:...

After picking up the SV650 a month or so ago, I found myself riding that more and more and the GZ250 less and less. Took her out this past weekend and came to the conclusion that I had probably...

Looks nice! FWIW, I just picked up a 650cc bike - lots more power than the GZ - but I'm happy to have started out on a 250 and wouldn't have done it differently.

NADA always seems kind of low. Plus you're in riding season now, so you do pay somewhat of a premium for a bike. However, that price sounds like good deal. I live in the Cleveland area, so my riding...
