The place where people come to get rid of their GZ250? - Page 3

Even with that said,

Id still like to see A 300-350cc bike replace the 250cc standard.
For my riding style at least.

Thats why the big bore kit, and all the tweaking will be done. I think after that, Ill have a keeper bike.
250cc's is good enough for most everything. 500cc's is enough for it all.

Inbetween could be a good balance. =)

You know, I've been reading alot of negative comments on the GZ being too small physically, has too small of a motor, isn't fast enough, etc. We need to accept the GZ for the purpose for which it was built. It's an agile, perky, 18 hp, around town, cheap to own & operate commuter bike. This is third world transportation at it's finest. If you can afford it, it would be nice to have different bikes for different purposes. IE, you wouldn't haul a load of lumber in a subcompact if you have a pickup. Hence, you won't tour on a GZ, if you have a touring bike. The GZ is a winner, it takes a little patience & finesse to ride, and it functions superbly within the confines of it's design. It's never going to be a Huyabusa. Get a larger bike if you wan't one, but keep your GZ & use it for what it was designed to do best. My problem is I'd own 10 different bikes for 10 different purposes if I could afford it.

If you want a really cool slightly larger bike, try an older 350 four cylinder Honda. Very cool & easy to ride.
