#1: it won't be any better than a GZ. My opinion only but I spent a week training on one.
#2: it is a smaller skinny bike with a peanut sized tank.
#3: 2 cylinders will cost more to maintain.
#4: you will spend a lot of time and money trying to make it fit you.
#5: is this deal on a 2009 bike ?? It may be new but 1 or 2 years old. Found that out the hard way once.
#6: for the $ involved, go looking for a larger slightly used bike that will fill your needs. For that matter go do a test sit on a S-40. You may be able to find a new in the crate 07 or 08 for a decent price. I think in Can. $ so I have no idea what the U.S. $ will really buy. |
#1 It can easily reach 85mph when I need it. I think that is a huge plus imo and a big reason why I am considering it.
#2 You're right the tank is smaller than the GZ and has a bit lower MPG
#3 2 Cylinders will cost a bit more to maintain
#4 It fits me 100% perfect Iv been on it and surprisingly fits perfectly.
#5 The bike is a 2009 model
#6 I have been looking into that as well. However a brand new bike 250cc good MPG, for that price is not a bad deal at all. I am going to continue to look around but it seems to take the top spot for 250cc cruisers around on many reviews. I may go for a shadow also around $2600 used on craigslist plenty of them around.
