Newbie - Soon to be owner in Stonington, CT

Hi all,

I've wanted a bike since I was16, but my dad would not allow it under his roof. Now at 36, I've finally gotten around to getting my license and looking to pick up a GZ250 this weekend. I originally was going to get a Vespa but after riding a motorcycle at the MSF, I knew I had to have a bike!

The last time I went to the dealership, he had no 250s built but regardless said I would "outgrow" the GZ 250 quickly. He was pushing me to get a the Suzuki S40 or something similar in size but if I had to have a 250cc, he recommended the Virago because of the twin.

I want the GZ250 because it's plenty fast for me, gas mileage, and cheap to buy and maintain, and I like the looks. Heck, I even got a quote for $76 to insure it thru Progressive. I look forward to reading thru this forum, asking questions, and sharing my experiences :2tup:
