    GZ250 - corrosion?

    Just wondering, GN engine, all the bits and bobs, do the GZs have the same corrosion problems as the late-model Chinese GNs? Not sure where they're made and all, so no idea about build quality..
    Also, any other nasty bits to be wary of?

    Just got my eye on one, but wanting to know if there'll be anything major to worry about with it.

    Cheers

    she will be a slow ride to what your 150 was like. but i'm sure someone will be along soon to comment on build quality.

    not keen for a bike with 2 cylinders??

    good luck

    Yeah the RGV was fun, but I think a little too fun. To be frank I was way too reckless on it, purely for the fact that it was that quick.
    I'm just looking for something to get me through summer, maybe a spot of casual cruise-y touring, til I get an influx of money at the start of next year and can buy up.
    So i'm on a tight budget and keen for something a little low key.
    I'd love a two cylinder if I could find one in my price range, but alas.. more cylinders = more money generally

    you already have gear eh? 2.5 will buy you a pretty good bike, might not be tidy but the engine would be ok.

    the below bike is NOT a gsxr, but the gsx250f. 4 cylinder. best thing about that bike is that is has a storage compartment where the petrol tank normally is. High k's but yeah.

    some may be a bit too racey for you. parallel twin bikes might be ok.
