Welcome! You've come to the right place, not only for a GZ owner but for any motorcyclist. These guys really know their stuff.

Alan speaks true about the need for an engine guard and the worthlessness of the Suzuki one. For your windshield, if you really want something that'll make a difference, I'd go bigger than the Spitfire. It'll pop right up when you search for "gz250 windshield", it's the cheapest, and it's nice-looking, but it doesn't deflect a whole lot of wind. Of course, I've heard from some folks that large windshields can hurt acceleration & top speed. Maybe they can chime in with their opinions as well.

After storage, I highly recommend a helmet lock. You can get nice chrome ones for $15-20 that attach to your handlebars. Alternatively, you can get a cheap-o cable lock (bike lock) from the dollar tree to loop through your handlebars or sissybar and D-ring (just make sure it doesn't hang near any hot parts!). They make them in different colors so they'll match your scoot and are nice to have around even if you already have a helmet lock. I use mine for my wife's helmet and also to loop through my jacket sleeve and lock to the bike if I don't feel like carrying it with me.
