You're right. That entire paragraph is a little wacky. Thanks. I'll edit it.

im not sure about the gas millage and breaking in thing. i have just over 3500 miles on mine and so far i get right about 74 mpg around town. i would probably add that you know a few people getting that kind of gasmilage. any thing in the 60mpg range is great but over 70mpg sounds even better.

It's widely accepted that this bike's gas mileage increases as it gets good and broken in.

This is a 2008 Suzuki GZ250, arguably one of the most reliable motorcycles ever made. I bought it new last year with 2 miles on it. It currently has a little over 1800 and has always been kept inside and out of the weather. All service has been kept up to date.

It includes a set of saddlebags, and a National Cycle Plexistar 2 windshield, which is great for blocking the wind off of the chest, hands and head when adjusted to the rider. The bags are leather, or a very good fake, and are fabric lined.

Everything on this bike is in showroom shape. It’s never been dropped, and never been modified. It gets right around 67 M.P.G. currently and this is without being fully broken in yet. This bike will increase in mileage until about 4000 miles, with the final mileage being at or above 75 M.P.G. I can send pics of whatever you want; just ask. You can also view several pictures, and a walkaround video by clicking on the following link: http://s640.photobucket.com/albums/uu12 ... ction=view¤t=101_0268.flv

This is an absolutely awesome beginner or commuter bike, in perfect condition. If you were to buy this new, it would cost you at least $3200 and that wouldn’t include the windshield (over $100), the saddlebags ($90), or the saddlebag brackets ($80 unless you make your own).

You can call or text 606-219-6724

Thanks and God Bless.

Looks pretty good to me. I've always noticed that things sell better when the seller takes the time, like you did, to use complete sentences. I get so tired of those adds that people post that say things like "GZ250 black 1800 miles with bags/windshield"

A few things to mention... I didn't notice a selling price in the actual add. Also, MSRP on the GZ250 is $3799 according to Suzuki's website. It may or may not be pretty typical to pay $3200 for a new one (I bought mine used so I wouldn't know) but mentioning that a new one is $3800 instead of $3200 will make yours appear as an even better deal that it already may be.
