Hello from Staten Island, NY
Hello everybody. Another middle-aged guy here who got bit by the motorcycle bug. I sold my car 2 days ago 'cause I couldn't afford the insurance payments. I got my permit, I paid for the safety course, I get it in 10 days. And I already almost have a 2009 GZ250. I saw it in a used car lot. It only has 412 miles on it, and the guy only wants $2500. (UPDATE) paid it. I'll ride it home the day after the course. Aug 11.
I'm excited, this will be my daily commuter (to work and back) until I get a bigger one. But this bike can fill my transport needs , and maybe I will just keep it indefinitely. I welcome your good advice and friendship. Eddie ![]()

I believe a new one is less than $3000. Suzuki knocked $1000 off the price, not long ago. :2tup:

Re: Hello from Staten Island, NY
Thank you, everybody. Hey Rookie Rider, maybe we can meet someday. I paid a down payment on the bike today, It will be mine completely in about 3 days. I am going to use it daily, so Rookie Rider, if you have any tips about riding over the bridges or rush hour do's and don'ts , I'm listening.
