TU 250

Did I miss this or is it new? Suzuki site shows a TU 250 Bike, coming soon.Biggest change is its FUEL INJECTED, 9.2:1 comp. [9.0:1 for GZ]/. Slightly smaller bike, tires are 90/90 front and 110/90 rear vs 110/90front and 130/90 rear on GZ.Weighs 1kg less and has 12 L tank , GZ has 13L. Must be Suzuki's Night Hawk. CMS :??:

Re: TU 250

Here's the site: TU250

Looks like their retro 70's bike from Japan (?). Pretty cool, huh?

:2tup:

Fuel injected, with cat and O2 sensor system.
I'm betting you can kiss the GZ good bye, in the US, for the '10 model year.

I don't care.....except maybe for curiosity. I think it would be a crying shame if the GZ goes away. The TU just looks too much like the other 250's on the market. I like the GZ, in part, because is different.

Re: TU 250

Looks like what other 250 on the market?? I haven't seen any U.S. model 250 running around that look retro like that one does. But I will agree I think it would be a shame for the GZ to disappear because of it.

Re: TU 250

Hey, look on the bright side... maybe there will be a way to retrofit a GZ with fuel injection using TU250 parts!

Re: TU 250

I think in europe or something they already make a GZ with fuel injection, or wait maybe thats the GZ 125.






Yep I went back and looked at the post i saw that in, and it is the GZ125 not the 250. :oops:

Re: TU 250

This news gets around fast - I just saw this posted on the GZ250 site on the Yahoo groups and was going to post it here but you guys beat me to it.
