Re: My GZ-- La Poderosita-- is gone...
So then the solution would be for all states to require registration and insurance for scooters, as is done here.
Which would mean convincing your local legislators-- and, of course, their...

Re: My GZ-- La Poderosita-- is gone...
Amen to that.
Just this past Sunday , a few blocks from my house, a biker was killed by a left-turning cager who, of course, "didn't see him." As one local news post put it, the brother dies on...

Re: My GZ-- La Poderosita-- is gone...
I don't know what the law is in other states, but here in New York scooters most certainly do have to be registered, insured and licensed like any other motorcycle.
And as for their right (as seen...

Re: My GZ-- La Poderosita-- is gone...
Yeah, but it's nice to know that she's out there somewhere, helping someone else get out in the wind!
By the way, I saw a very trick TU250 the other day-- no pillion, no logos, and fork boots &...

My GZ-- La Poderosita-- is gone...
I traded her in to get a scooter for the wife. Truth to tell, La Poderosita hadn't been getting out of the garage very much since Bonny joined the family. She served me well, I must say-- got my...

Re: here i am
If you want more power and height & weight are issues, consider a Triumph Bonneville. I just picked up an '09 SE and it handles as easily as my GZ (much better, actually), and has plenty of power. ...

Thanks for the good wishes, one and all. I'll post pictures as soon as I get around to taking some. So far it's stock except for the rubber fork boots, but I'm waiting on some other factory...

After about a year and half on "La Poderosita" I decided to move on up to my dream machine-- a Triumph Bonneville SE. I was going to put the GZ up for sale, but now the wife is thinking of taking...

Re: My new ride
MC Enterprises definitely has a bar for the GZ 250. Several of us on this site have them.

Re: My new ride
Nice ride. If you do go for a crashbar, check out the one made by MC Enterprises. It goes on easily enough, looks good, and is functional.

For most of the world's population a 250cc bike is big. Untold thousands throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America use 100cc and 125cc machines for daily transportation, and do just fine. In...

My market-based assessment of the situation is...

Re: Me and my 2001 GZ250
Let's face it, there is almost no market in the U.S. for mid-size motorcycles. We have a couple of 250s on one end of the spectrum, and the rest of the showroom is filled with 200 MPH crotch rockets...

Re: Grip parts?
Be careful when installing the new bar ends-- if the nut inside falls off the bolt it will likely get stuck inside the bar.
