Me and my 2001 GZ250
I'm new here, been reading the forums for about a month. I took the Harley riding course in May and bought my 2001 gz250 the following week. I paid $800 cash for it, it had been sitting in a garage for years, only had 1,490 miles on it!!!! I love riding, I ride it to work daily (weather permitting).

Re: Me and my 2001 GZ250
Right on Dana - welcome! Great looking bike, and sounds like you got it for a steal. It looks brand new still!
I got my '01 for $1000 cash, it had a little over 12K miles on it, and I thought I got a pretty good deal - but you've got me beat  I love my GZ and ride it to work daily as well. It's a very fun and efficient mode of transpo for sure. Do yourself a favor, and make sure you always wear protective gear while riding - helmet, riding jacket, boots, etc. Road rash really sucks, and it doesn't care how cool you do or don't look. Ride safe, and enjoy that new bike! AZ Kev

Re: Me and my 2001 GZ250
Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes. I went this wkd and bought a new bike, a 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 500. The GZ was fun to start out with, but it wouldn't go fast enough (top speed of 70 going down hill and I got tired of trying to shift higher LOL). There is a HUGE difference, almost a orgasmic difference :drool:

Congrats Dana, nice choice for an upgrade. The 500 is a proven engine and will serve you well. Now back to the parking lot and practice with the new bike.

Re: Me and my 2001 GZ250
Great looking bike, I would of seriously looked att the Vulcan if they were sold here in California, but due to the Air Resource Board they like many mid sized bikes are not sold here. I will be moving up in size later this summer, decided I'm going to get myself a Triumph Bonneville. I just out grew my GZ, will take a big loss on it as I bought new last year and have close to 10K miles on it. Enjoy your new toy, it's my favorite color too! Hope you hang around the Forum. Enjoy!
