As promised, here's the bike my father and I picked up this past Saturday. It's an 01 with 6k miles. I'm lovin it.

Looks great and you already have all of the accessories. See you out there :cool:

Looks nice! You should be able to mount those saddle bags under the rear seat to clean things up a bit:

D___N wished i could have found a red one ... they are just sharp...

ShipmanX2 · 07-01-2008, 11:33 PM

Yeah it does look a lot better with the saddle bags under the seat. And thanks for the comments everyone.

Pretty cool you had those accessories on too!

Drive safe...

Shipman, very cool looking GZ - the red color is indeed sharp! I just bought my '06 and I'm looking for saddle bags and a windshield. What brand and sizes are these on your bike?

Philbert, the ones on my bike are Tourmaster and are approximately 17x9. (Length by height)

However, I would go with a little smaller ones if I were purchasing them, but these came with the bike so I am happy with them. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for the info ShipmanX2, why would you go with smaller bags? Do they hit the exhaust or do they just cramp your riding?

ShipmanX2 · 07-14-2008, 03:32 PM

Well I love that I'm able to put textbooks and my laptop in them, however I think they are a little big for the size of the 250. When I mounted them under the seat, they rested on the exhaust, so for now I had to put them back on top of the seat. I personally like the look of bigwonton's saddle bags better.
