Aw geez, the GN 250 engine is back for another go in the ring.........that thing will never die. :D
89 GS500e, K & N Lunchbox, Buddha jet kit, GS550 front forks, GS850 fender, ProMaxx tires and a big dollop of luck

What a great starter machine.    Would be a lot of fun to ride!  I guess I am just hopelessly retro.
Attack but have a back up plan

ohgood

cool bike. EFI to keep it purring, and no frills to go wrong.

i'd hit it.

wonder what the mpg is ...

commuterdude

Im thinking, solo seat cover, clip ons, bar end mirrors,   hmmmmm....maybe the engine out of the 500r? :cheers:  Seriously that looks like a really fun bike.   Bet it gets in the 70's for mpg no prob.

Not bad looking honestly.  I'd ride it.   what I'd LOVE to see suzuki bring back, if they could make it past emissions, is the GT750 triple.  my buddy has one of those, and it just looks cool.
looking for a new vehicle again.

The WaterBuffalo?  If that's the same bike, I have a friend who recently picked one up.  I've yet to see it and I have no clue which year it is yet.  The only thing he's said for sure is that it's very loud--which isn't saying too much.  He seems to like it though.

It looks like it could be a lot of fun... I like the retro styling.

I've got a baby water buffalo (GT550) sitting in the garage that I haven't gotten around to yet.  Pretty sure it just needs a battery and the timing set.

The GT's have cool-factor for being smokers, but the bike as a whole is poor.  I just love the sound of three really angry chainsaws.

I like this new bike.  Small displacement with FI.  Standard. It looks light as hell.  It's great.  Some sticky tires, clip-ons or some clubmans, and old-school megaphone exhaust and I'd probably get off a little.

$3500.00 MSRP!  Oh Yeah!   Leaves a little room for mod money.   Only bad thing for me is it probably won't hit hwy speeds to well.

So, the Girl Zoomer has FI now? 

When does it get the auto-brew coffee pot?
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?
