My Suzuki GZ250, my Friend Intruder 250, Italy Countryside

hello there!!

last week me and my friend decide to take a ride off italy (Lazio) countryside, he own a Suzuki Intruder 250 (2000) and i own a Suzuki GZ250 (2007)

i thought i could share this pics with you ^^ unfortunately i took ehm with my self phone... so apart from the motorcycles pics, the other sucks a bit... we are organizing with something better anyway

we rode pretty much the stunning italian countryside, we rode for about 150 KM out of rome, it was so freakin awesome because we are pretty much newbie and that part is amazingly beatiful....

hope you enjoy the pics ^^

Looks like a great ride. The weather seems to have cooperated nicely too.
How does the Intruder compare with the GZ performance wise ? North America does not get the small V-twin so we have no real experience with them. They were available in Australia but I don't know if they are even still made.

yep it was an awesome ride... weather was more than excellent, looking forward to go out this Sunday for another 150 KM trip, here it's full of little town and stuff like that... can't wait really

well it's not that much of gain, maybe the 4 more HP... other than that i must (too bad) confess that SUZUKI cared of details muuuuch better on the Intruder than Marauder... i didn't have the chance to test the performance difference deeply, but we will ride every week-end together so i'll keep you updated about that

anyway the engine "roar" much better than GZ.... it's sound kick some serious asses to be so small...

Intruder (VL 250) went out of production in 2004.... it's hard also here to find one in good shape.... there are far more marauders than intruders

DarkJackal", Could you do us a favor, take a look at your bike, on the front of the motor, do you have an item that looks like the one below (The silver "valve" with a couple of tubes coming into it)?
It would be just below the point where the frame members come together in front of the motor, below the gas tank on the right side.

Yeah, that's what we're all trying to find out - especially ME - because it's on my bike, & I don't know what the hell it is!

If it ain't botherin' you, why do you want to mess with it? (Just kidding, but it would be nice to know what it does, what it's for). A prize for the first one who finds out?
