Re: Questions from a soon-to-be Rookie!
Just piping in with my 2 cents. I started on a Suzuki TU250 and rode it for just over 3,000 miles in a year before moving up to a Suzuki SFV Gladius (which I've now had for 3 years) While I appreciated a wet weight of only 326 lbs on the 250 a little bigger cc's and heavier (446 lbs) bike makes a bi...

Re: WHAT!!! just checked out the suzuki website.
I had a 2009 TU250 and rode it for a year prior to my Gladius. Great motorcycle. 81 mpg. I miss it sometimes. Little tough passing cars on the mountain roads but it would do it if you were in a full tuck with the throttle WFO. I didn't realize how much of an attention getter it would be when I bough...

Re: Magazines you Recommend

We also subscribe to Rider (another favorite) and Cycle World. I've never read Road Bike. Hubby rides a Triump...

Re: Suzuki Rectifier Recall
The TU 250 is great. Bought it last March and put 2000 miles on it. Time to step up. I do find that it doesn't matter what direction you travel here in the valley you have a pass to go over and in a headwind you can tuck down over the tank and open it wide up and barely hit 60. It will pass a Prius ...

Suzuki Rectifier Recall
Hey all. Went to purchase a new 2009 Suzuki Gladius here in Oregon on Saturday. Got a smoking deal for $2k under MSRP but wasn't able to take it home. Had to just put down a deposit. Apparently Suzuki just released a rectifier recall and they have a stop sales and delivery on certain models. Parts a...

Re: Poll: New riders, do you consider weight of a motorcycle
We are looking for a larger bike for me now and weight is still a factor. Looking at a Street Triple vs. Gladius, etc. I like the Bonneville SE but at 75-100 lbs more than the others I am reluctant. Trobairitz- A bike I could recommend you look at is the BMW F650GS twin. (Despite the 650 name, this...
