Ultimately, I settled on the GZ250 because of the following factors:
- Lowest comparative price
- It felt like a bigger bike
- Larger fuel tank

The only concern I had was that is was a single-cylinder engine. Seems everyone is taught to want a twin. But after 4 years and 7,000 miles, I very happy with my little thumper.

I have 38000 kms on my G.Z. no problems.just normal maintenance'
