2006 Suzuki GZ250

Just bought a used 2006 Suzuki GZ250.
I lucked out that it already has the Suzuki:
Windshield, Saddlebags, Saddlebag Guards,
Backrest & Rack, which were $700 worth of
accessories I would have gotten anyway.
Waiting on the Suzuki Engine Guards.

Re: 2006 Suzuki GZ250

Welcome to the forum.FYI the aftermarket engine guard is much sturdier than the Suzuki one.The Suzuki guard is nothing more than for looks.
:cool:

Re: 2006 Suzuki GZ250

If memory serves me correctly you will find some nice bars at MC Enterprises. They are actually made to do the job crash bars are intended for. Lynda had the OEM bars on her GZ and they are just a shiny decoration. They came with the bike.

Re: 2006 Suzuki GZ250

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.

I'm already committed on the Suzuki Engine Guards so hopefully
they will look nice and I'll never have to actually "test" them.

This is the smallest displacement Bike I've ever owned.
Sold my 1977 Honda CB750 Automatic with Sidecar.
Wanted to get a newer Bike than my others
but just didn't like how fat, heavy and
bloated the 500CC and bigger
Bikes have gotten now.
Everything is trying
to be a Harley.

:cool:

Strelok, you will never test the OEM crash bar on a GZ. The rest of the bike will do that for you. Bars are to be considered sacrificial to save the bike. Suzuki went the opposite direction with the GZ.

The Engine Guards are not just for crashing.
They are good at protecting your Engine
and Exhaust Pipes from flying debris.
Things cars don't even worry about
but can be deadly to Cyclists.
