I realize this thread is old but having owned both an 86 rebel 250 and an 07 gz250 here is my opinion.

Parts for the GZ seem to be cheaper.
The rebel seems to have slightly better acceleration.
The gz has a couple of annoying design flaws like the sparkplug is a pain to remove, the cap on the engine is bolted and rtv'ed down which is alot of work to redo vs the rebel having two bolts holding the cap on a reusable rubber gasket.

The gz has storage under the seat accessable with only the key and the rebel has no storage and requires a tool to remove the seat.

My rebel was sometimes difficult to get into first even at a stop, you sometimes had to hold the clutch and roll a few inches backwards to get into first.

The gz sometimes won't go into gear when you're moving about 5mph.
