Hello people. I just bought a red 2001 GZ250 last week to save gas going to work. I originally was going to get a scooter but the licensing requirements are the same for a scooter over 50cc's and a motorcycle in this state so I started looking into bikes. I didn't want to spend a lot. I looked at some of the new Chinese bikes out now but I was just scared of the reliability and parts availability. So I scanned the Little Rock paper's classifieds and ran across this GZ with 5,800 miles for $1,400. I went and looked at her and ended up getting it for $1,300. I will have to get some tires though. I hope I didn't get took too bad. She sure is pretty and runs good. It is a little small for me since I am 6'1" and 220lbs but I only have 20 miles round trip between work and home. I can deal with the small size especially since my truck gets about 14 MPG and this thing will get 60 plus.
