New GZ250 owner in Ohio

[tml1138]

Hello there,

I've actually been registered for nearly three years here, but I've not been here since. I posted questions about buying a 2001 GZ250 that had a mess of a title, and passed on it.


Fast forward to today, I just bought a 2003 GZ250, dark blue, 7800 miles. It runs but it's going to take a little bit of work to get reliably road-worthy. I don't think anything too serious. I had a hiccup with the title on this bike too, but as of today the title is in my name.

The bike is for my wife mainly (but I'll take it for a spin occasionally). Why? Great starter bike and at a price we could afford, and not perfect so no stress if she drops it. We both took the Ohio Basic Rider Course way back in the summer of 2011! I've been out a few times since then on my Vulcan 500, but she's not been out at all since then. Mainly because she's afraid of the Vulcan, because of it's larger size and it's in remarkable shape for the 1994 year that it is. Enter the GZ250. We are both planning on taking the basic rider course over again for a refresher, and now that we both have bikes...should be a great time to "start over" again!
