The GZ250 is Suzuki’s gateway motorcycle for the beginner rider. A favorite in Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) fleets across the nation, the bike offers an air-cooled 249cc single-cylinder that packs surprising gusto for such a small displacement engine. The seat height is only 27.8 inches – perfect for the novice – and fuel economy is more on-par with a scooter than your typical cruiser.
The GZ250 has always been a good entry-level bike due to its pricing as well. Many new riders are hesitant to invest too much in a new bike in case they end up not riding as much as they expected. Now, with more Americans looking to motorcycles as a more affordable commuting option in these tough economic times, Suzuki has decided to lower the price of the 2011 GZ250…by nearly $1000! The old MSRP was $3799; now you can buy a brand-new GZ250 off the showroom floor for only $2999. That’s a 21% reduction in price, which is truly unheard of from a major OEM. The decreased price should translate to lower Suzuki motorcycle insurance premiums as well.
