I agree. Very stable bike, especially in corners.

How tall are you? Do you feel cramped on the bike in any way? I'm looking at it as my 1st bike but i'm 191cm and 95-100kg (6'2" / 210-220 lb)?

You do 2up riding and get 75mph on it 🧐🤭 are you sure it's not kph.

@@MrPagro21 yes I'm sure I live in Oklahoma it will do 80 not much after that. Great handling bike

Thanks.

Ya Canada sucks

They definitely nailed the design on this one!

The Suzuki is a bigger bike but the Honda has a more upright position. It all depends on the angle. I can make my Ducati Supersport look small.

Thanks! You made my day

Practice your hill starts. Apply the rear brake. Rev the bike up. Ease the clutch out. When the bike wants to move, release the brake add throttle. You’ll be fine. Make sure you ride north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Great roads! And of course all the roads around Alice’s Restaurant

No problem at all. Plenty of power. Just a lot of shifting gears.

Yes three wheels are safer but you can ride a motorcycle anywhere you want in all weather. The biggest difference for motorcycles in the rain is stopping. It takes longer to stop in the rain on a motorcycle. For commuting motorcycles can be quicker and easier to park. As for licensing I am not sure how the Ryker is classified where you live. Where I live in Canada you need a motorcycle license (3 wheel). If you learn and get licensed on a motorcycle you’ll get to ride a Ryker too automatically but not the other way around.

If you’re planning on keeping it for four years then get the Z400. That bike is good for 40 years.

I prefer the GSX250R. More modern and better weight management.

@@leeridefar Thanks for reaction, I'm going to try it out during a test drive

No one out there made some cnc plates to raise them?

@@leeridefar I have had several Motorcycle Shops make inquiries. While all of the other Suzuki GSX bikes have after market accessories available for them, there id almost NOTHING made for the 250. I DO plan now to contact Suzuki directly.

Good luck! Maybe even contact a CNC shop and see if they can do one off project for you.

Yes. Once you start riding the money is worth it. You do have to pay a lot more than I would to ride. Once you get those first few rides in, you’ll be happy you did.

Got mine for 40000 kr. Think its a ok price.

5800 dollars.

I’m not sure. I’m in Canada.

Where in SEA tho? Not sure... Its a chinese suzuki engine...

@@idrayas2 Suzuki identified that 250cc (an engine already available and proven in the form of the previous Inazuma) would be learner-legal in all Global markets. They focused more in SE-Asia / India as these markets were friendlier to lower CC engines.

@@TalkieMedia that is exactly why im asking about SEA. It doesn't sell in SEA nor that suzuki showed any will to actually sell it. It sure comply with the regulation, but they can always go the way their competitor do by destroking a larger displacement bike to sell in SEA and japan. That way the global market met it needs and the SEA + japan market can always get a destroked one. You can use indonesia as the largest market in SEA and India as another asian example, rather than go with gsx250r, the indian suzuki bike made an entirely new 250 platform, single cylinder with even a bit more power than this. Indonesia is just plainly not interested in selling this knowing inazuma didn't go well. The competition is tough, r25, cbr250rr, rc250 and ninja 250 with 7-12 more horsepower. The only way i see this bike make sense is in china where there really is no horsepower race and the 250 there generally are lackluster in performance. Hence the use of haojue engine. This is more of a quality test for haojue to meet international engine material standard rather than a well thought out product. Quality wise im sure its alright i have first hand experience with inazuma after all.

Whatever the beat deal is. If you have the money buy the ninja 400. Definitely take a motorcycle safety course. If you like fast cars you’ll love motorcycles. I have more fun on a small motorcycle than I do in a fast car. Have fun!!!!

@@leeridefar ya that's the direction I'm going on ... I'm tired of seeing guys on the way to work driving bikes ...

No the power restriction is only in the top speed (140kmh). You’ll still out accelerate most cars too! Save your money and enjoy this bike.

Lee RideFar A very big thank you!

You can increase the TOP speed by 15-20 kmh just by changing rear sprocket which is awesome

MT03 for sure but if you get a REALLY good deal on GSX250R go for that.

The drz400 and CRF250 are harder to find used and more $$$ new. You don’t lost much on those either. They are always popular.

@@leeridefar I've lost the least on my 1982 Suzuki GS450 that I currently have. Not worth a lot but worth more than I paid. Tough call for me between the CRF250L and DRZ400SM but I'd like to go slow, stay off the roads as much as possible and put around, more of a weekend warrior. It looked like you have some good content, subbed! Always like to hear Canadian or Mexican perspectives to get outside of the US bubble but still within the sphere.

It feels heavier. The lightest feeling and easiest bike to manage would be the Kawasaki z400 or ninja 400.

@@leeridefar thanks for your reply😊

I didn’t know that. Thanks for sharing!

@@leeridefar Yes, even the high-end Kawasakis, Yamahas, and Hondas are made in cheap developing countries. In contrast, even the cheapest models of Suzuki are still made in Japan, for example the TU250X and S40. That includes the engines, as well; they are made in Japan, and the quality really shows for discerning customers. My neighbor recently bought a brand new high-end Kawasaki, the ZX-10, and was shocked to discover that it is made in Thailand. He was pissed, but it's too late, it's his now. He says he just ASSumed it was made in Japan, and that he wouldn't have bought it if he had known it was made in Thailand.

@@BEEBEE159 Suzuki is no exeption.The new gsxr 250 is made in China!! I just went to go talk the the guys at my local Suzuki dealer. The VIN plate is in the belly of the bike by the header. It clearly states the bike is made in China.

@@zenith_orbiting I live in Florida...I just visited my local Suzuki showroom a week ago, and all of the models clearly show they are made in Japan. Where do you live?

@@BEEBEE159 I live in Los Angeles California. I just went today. All the 600s and up say Japan..but the gsxr250 said china. Again, on the vin plate by the belly of the bike. They had 4 gsxr250s and all said made in China.

It did sell well when they dropped the price and people could buy it for less than $4,000CAD out the door. Great value.

Agree. They were great blow out deals when they wanted to get rid of them. Bought 2 for $3k out the door. Sold later for slightly more.

@@leeridefar I would take that deal as well.This summer I’m looking to buy my wife one but need to get a deal similar to yours.Otherwise i will get an R3.

An R3 with ABS is the better bike all around.

I surprised it’s not there yet. I don’t know. But expect a Suzuki gsx400 for next year. I think those rumours are true.

No it wont, lest it suffers the same fate with the gw250. You got the gixxer tho...

That is why it is not a bike for experienced riders lol. It is a good first bike because it is extremely forgiving compared to something as a ninja 400.

i’m 77. this would for me
