2006 Suzuki GZ250. Bought at 3100 miles and I’ve already gotten it up to 3750. I’ve been wanting a motorcycle for ages, and I knew better to not start on something too powerful. It’s so fun to ride! And comfortable, too, unless I’m on it for 3+ hours, which I do without even knowing because of how fun it is.

Although there is an itch to get something more powerful now. I won’t be able to afford the insurance on that though lol. To get that feeling, I test rode a Harley Davidson Sportster 48, not what people think of a “fast” motorcycle but it might as well be a rocket ship compared to what I have. But I’m super happy with my GZ250 and will keep it through at least April 2024.

    Trust me. There is more joy to be had from wringing all the performance out of a small motorcycle than pussyfooting around on a rocket ship. Enjoy your bike.

      Although it does suck when I want to ride with friends but then I can’t keep up with their SV650 and CBR600RR…
